The Focker 50 and other sound bites

Have been very lax in updating on my whereabouts, not because I have been lazy but bc so much has happened! I'll break it down into palatable sections and try not to bore you all...

The Focker 50
This is the plane I fly every Monday to Amsterdam. I fly back on a twin Focker 50 back to London every Thursday. It's my job, not the flying but the being in Amsterdam bit. Since it's a job, it's not all that much fun but has been nice to see the canal city, albeit only by moonlight. Oh yes, for the unobservant - I got a job! Started a month ago and quite possibly going for a few more months. I would like to be in London more often, in the past month I've only managed to be here for 1 weekend - which conveniently segues to...

First Weekend Away
Was in Nice and Monte Carlo for the weekend with Colin and Ness. Nice was lovely; sunshine, blue skies, the snooty French leading pure bred poodles to poop all over the cobbled streets. Monte Carlo was deliciously decadent, it was dizzying to see just how the other (better) half lives. We were lucky to be there for their National Day so was treated to a huge fireworks display at the port and pictures of Prince Albert adorning all the stores.

Cute Spanish waiters
In Valencia, last weekend. Very cute. Great weather in the south of Europe (thunderstorms in London!) and lots of walking made it a relaxing weekend. I had to suppress a giggle when I heard someone on the street exclaim 'Ay Carumba!', it was to be the only time I would understand Spanish.

Home Sweet Home
Yes I have one. It's a lovely two storey maisonette that I don't see often enough.

Next weekend is Milan! Stay tuned.
