My stitched bits

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

I think I'm going to change this blog in a rather drastic way.
Up till now I've been writing in English as this used to be a cross stitching blog and as most people reading this blog were either from the UK or from the US.
English isn't my native language though, as some may have noticed.
At the moment, I don't think many people are reading this blog and I would rather start to use it as a kind of diary of my every day life.
This every day life is situated in Belgium and so I'm switching languages.
As of now I will start to write in Flemish, which is my mother tongue.
It's been fun to write in English, but I think it's going to be easier to express myself in Flemish.
That's it for now. Talk to you later (in Flemish).

@*&%µ^+~£$µ# THIS ISN'T FUNNY!!!!!
I got up very early today as we MUST vote.
Walking to that bureau I came across my neighbours. They told me I could go back home as the computer isn't working.
Now I'll have to go back before 3pm and there will probably be loads of people there by then!!!
Why oh why is it still obligatory in Belgium to vote?
Don't get me wrong, if we didn't have to go, I would go! But now it's senseless. Half the people (or even more) don't give a hoot about this whole charade.
If we weren't obliged to go, only people who really care would go.
The resultst would be completely different!
But of course our present politicians wouldn't want that to happen.
So frustrating!!!

Haven't been here for a looooong time it seems! I wasn't even sure this blog still existed.
Must say I'm still very happy! Haven't done any cross stitching for ages though. Haven't even used my trike yet this year. Well, apart from riding 4km (!) with it.
Healthwise this year is not really 100% OK, but I'm managing quite good.
As of yesterday evening I'm on holidays! Yihaaa! I don't have to go to work for the next 3 weeks. And next thursday my boyfriend and I are leaving for Salou (Spain) for 10 days! Wish I was already there!
I should try and write some more here, but I'm not sure I'll find the time to do it.
Hakuna Matata!!!!
