13 Seems to be my lucky number/day; CH. called me this evening and announced that she and TH. are going to get married next year, now isn’t that great?!!! I’m so happy for them. And then she asked me to be her maid of honour; I was thrilled, am thrilled and feel honoured that she asked me. Of course I said yes!
It’s going to be a busy year for me next year, but all fun things! I will have to fly back and forward between countries but who cares, it will be cool and I’m really looking forward to this. I’m excited to be maid of honour and to be honest I didn’t expect to ever be one, it’s something that you dream off when younger isn’t it?
Being a maid of honour at my age is flattering really.

Once And For All…
Noticeable Oddities of the Day:
‘Holland’ or ‘The Netherlands’…
It’s simple…
The Netherlands: a country
Noord Holland and Zuid Holland; two of twelve provinces of The Netherlands… [so no countries]
‘Holland’ is a region consisting of these 2 provinces: Noord Holland and Zuid Holland
The other 10 provinces of the Netherlands are not Holland.
Telling someone from Utrecht, Arnhem, Eindhoven, Groningen or Maastricht that they come from Holland is like telling someone from Glasgow or Cardiff that they come from ‘England’..!
I’m born in The Netherlands, South of Holland… it makes me a Dutch, Eurasian, Indo Leidsche Glibber…
[don’t ask me to explain that to you it is too complicated, trust me…]
