The answer is that you can't. Well, actually, I can't.
Life post-wedding is pretty much the same as pre-wedding, except now we have rings on our left hands.
But spurred on by Brenda's comment on my last post, I feel compelled to write more, write more.
So news of late is this:
I quit work. My last day is August 10. So from August 11 I am officially a full time student again. We're hoping to go on a short trip to Croatia around then, and we're also hoping that Tomas and Jessica can make it down here for a holiday before they become real, live parents.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jasper. Who is he, you ask? Well, apart from being a beautiful baby, he is the new (3 week-ish) son of Debbie (from work) and hubby, Arthur. Debbie looks fantastic...a very relaxed, natural mum. If I ever pop any kiddies out, I hope that I will look as good as and be as relaxed as Debbie is! Meeting Jasper almost made me want to have a baby.
Get up off the floor now. I said almost.
Nico and I are looking (well, kind of) for a place to live in Nijmegen. Hopefully we'll be able to move in August. Busy month that will probably turn out to be.
Even though all these post-wedding events and plans are great, the highlight, by far, has been Festival Mundial in Tilburg. €10 for a full day of world music is just too great to put into words! But even greater than that absolute bargain was that The Cat Empire (http://www.thecatempire.com/) played! I hadn't seen them for about 2 years and they didn't disappoint. They were amazing. But would anything less be expected of them?! They pulled quite a crowd despite the rain. Just wonderful.
Sigh.
Snapping back to reality, I must get back to writing my mini-essays for my final assessment for my first MA course.
Joy.
