Winter part II

Here are some more photos from this week of snow! Yeah they are all edited differently and stuff, but they’re not a set so don’t sue me! :P
It’s been almost a week full of snow, it’s ridiculous! All public transport has been one big drama, the trains are hardly riding and if they are, there are tons of delays. Same goes for busses, we’re not used to that much snow here in The Netherlands. The snow’s slowly melting though, and I have to admit that I’m glad! I hope the trains will be normal again on Thursday, since I’ll be heading to my parents for Christmas. I’ve downloaded all Ugly Betty episodes I haven’t seen yet and bought lots of wool, so I can knit like crazy in the train and at my parents. I have to admit, I’m not a big Christmas fan, I actually find it quiet boring. But now I’ve find something to kill the time: knit! Right now I’m working on a huge neon pink scarf, hopefully it will be finished after Christmas. I’ve knitted the purple scarf below as well *proud*

We had to blow bubbles at a wedding last Friday, and I took pictures of my brother blowing bubbles like a 5 year old, haha :D

Oops, this picture is a bit smaller! Anyway, there has been lots of snow here, as you can see. I’ve been wanting to buy snowboots for months now, but never did it. Now I really want them and ofcourse they’re all sold out!

Yes I’m still alive! I need to update this blog more often, but I honestly never know what to post. I do have tons of selfportraits that I could post, but I would feel a bit narcissistic :P But that way I would never update this blog again! So here are some shots of last Thursday. It’s been really cold the last few days, tonight it was freezing, -15 celsius! Last week it was way warmer, I can’t adjust this fast! Snow is cold and sometimes dangerous, but it does make pretty pictures :) I’ve had this idea in my head for a long time now and I was so glad it was finally snowing! Although eventually it didn’t turn out as great as I’ve expected it to be, plus I forgot a few things because I was in a hurry, but I can do that tomorrow as well. There’s still snow!
On my way to the forest I fell REALLY hard from my bike, I actually fell flat on my face! My nose was red and swollen (you can see that in the picture above ;)), it still is a bit swollen and painful :( My bike’s now broken too so I can’t even bike anymore, maybe that’s for the best!
Yesterday I had a wedding and I took some pictures there as well, might post them soon :) I mean it’s also nice to see something different than my head :P

I bought “Special Topics in Calamity Physics” (god I like the dutch title so much better!) by Marisha Pessl. Is it any good?

Now I’m going to prepare to go home again (I’m at my parents right now, home = my dorm, it’s where I live, so I always call it home!), going to watch ugly betty in a trainride of 2 hours! And knit, knit like crazy. I’ve been knitting a lot lately, I forgot to mention that. Will post pictures of my scarf soon! It’s huge and right now I’m already knitting another one! I’m going to wear tights underneath my jeans because it’s FREEZING COLD D:

Okay here’s my scarf
