As for January:

First, we had our garden relaid:
before

Nearly done!

Secondly, Miki started a new project for the UWV.

Then new family member 2 & 3 (Dovid and Noa) where born in the last few weeks of January to Miki's cousin Vincent and his wife Thirza. Congratulations!

Caught up with Kingsley in Amsterdam, got him away from weed long enough to catch up... ;-)

We are both currently off work sick. Bummer.


Looking forward to (I am not putting a time scale to these expectations as I don't know when I will be arsed to post again ;-):

1) Arrival of new family members 4 & 5 from my cousin Gaynor (not long to go now!).
2) Easter going to England. Some nice weather wouldn't go amiss...
3) Spring holiday to Devon with family
4) Wedding of Mr Chayseff and Ms. Dawes (here's hoping for a date soon!).
5) Wedding of Miki's best friend Nathalie!
6) Kingsley and I are planning to go to the Games Day and Golden Daemon event from GW if I can just find out when it is!

Hope to blog a bit more this year! Not that I have gotten off to a very good start of course...
