onderweg naar....
8000 woorden!
Hopeloos achter, maar iedereen die ooit getuige is geweest van mijn schoolschrijfactiviteiten, weet dat een traag begin niet altijd wil zeggen dat ik de eindstreep niet kan halen!!! (zo positief genoeg, Heidi?) Als dank voor je opmerking, ben jij nu een australische dame van 25 jaar oud die samen met vriend Oz een SYHA runt in een fictief dorp in Schotland! Is het niet geweldig!
Voor iedereen die zich nu afvraagt waar het in hemelsnaam over gaat: vette pech voor de kabouters!
Werktitel:
"The Ironing Lady"
PS. fotos van dit weeknd volgen. maar niet nu!
PS2. Wisten jullie al dat Kim is afgestudeerd?

nanu nanu....
So, after that half-assed attempt last year (starting halfway through is a good excuse to fail) i'm doing it again.....
www.nanowrimo.org
writing a 50.000 word novel in 30 days.
after achieving this, i get wear my "novelist" badge. which would make me very proud.
because i'm writing about 2000 words a day, i get to:
not do dishes/vacuum/laundry/cook/grocery shop.
so, if you want to help me out, do all of the above, ask me often how far i've gotten, and just keep poking me about it. those of you who support my efforts, will be remembered as i close a million $ deal on the manuscript.
if you don't support my effort, well, i hope you dai! dai! dai! or just lose the ability to read another novel, ever.
Now, of course i know all of you look upon this with a wary eye. Yes, i'm undertaking another project, likely to fail like any other project/plan i've had so far. So bear with me on this one. i'm gonna try anyways ;)

Hey Daan!
Leuk dat je even komt kijken!
Heb je een leuke verjaardag gehad? Ik ben naar de film geweest op mijn verjaardag en ik heb cowboy kleren gekregen die je op de fotos kunt zien.
veel plezier bij Trees, en wil je een berichtje achterlaten voor me?

Oh.... the joy of living in the countryside...
If you ever thought of living out in the country, keep the following in mind.
Things don't always go according to plan. Living in the country is supposed to be fun. There are oodles of outside to explore, there's cosy inside to enjoy. And sometimes, you just really really want to be outside. Why would you really really want to be outside, one might ask. Well, that one day when your septic system is backing up into the bathroom drains, you don't really want to be there from the moment the plumber arrives to fix it all. Secondly, you might want to run for the hills that day a skunk sprayed somewhere really close to the house, making you feel queasy all day.
The obvious solution would be to trek into the countryside, since it's there and ready and available and all that, with fresh air and all things good on offer. But of course, as one might expect, nature doesn't quite work that way. It's a funny thing, nature, with a cruel sense of humour.
The day your bathroom is disabled and smells like cat died in it, the day breathing makes you want to throw up, is of course the first day of rain in months. Which means no picknicks, no walks around the grounds, and oh, the truck isn't quite fixed yet.
Obviously, in a very obscure way, it's great to live where there are not too many people about. It just brings it's own set of peculiar problems. We don't have loud neighbours, or, loud neighbours, and we're missing out on that entire loud neighbour thing. Instead, we are blessed with mockingbirds, cayotes and skunks. But the view, that's amazing. Well, usually, it is. Just not this very moment. The rain, and all that......

paardje rijden, theetje drinken
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ikke op wel 2 paarden, de witte, Bo, was wat ongehoorzaam, en gooide Wade eraf, en later Ryan ook, na wat spectaculair gedoe met bomen enzo. het tweede paard, Ginger, was nog nooit bereden, dus, goed plan, we zetten Judith erop. zoals je ziet, dat gaat nog best relaxed, en ik ben er maar 1 keer afgevallen, en lang niet zo hard als de rest ;)
zoals je ziet, m'n cowgirl outfit is ook helemaal geregeld (verjaarscadeau) en achteraf was het alemaal lang niet zo erg als gedacht. volgende week Rodeo..... of toch maar niet misschien
tot snel, Judith
