Pysseldag

Posted in Pearls, Friends at 8:53 am by tesstess

Imagine 8 girls in a room. It doesn’t only sound wonderful in the ears of a guy, but also in my ears, at least when you combine it with millions of pearls.

It is nice to be a software engineering girl most of the time, but when it comes to girl friends it’s not the perfect job. And Amadeus not the perfect place to find them. I’ve been looking for shopping friends for two years now! So I made up my mind and invited all girls I know about to a pearl day at my place. Anthony was away skiing.

During the week we went on lunchtime to buy pearls for our saturday creations.

We ate lunch in the garden, and then we installed us around a double livingroom table.

Alice had a huge amount of pearls and was as busy as all the others.

I think about half of us didn’t do peals before, but lots of funny creations came out of the day. In total I think we were pearling six hours. It was not as much talk as ‘normal’ girl dinners: too much concentration.

In the evening we made pastasallad. It was hard to make room for it on the table.

I love this view of the table completely overfull of pearls. And on the left we have some of the creations of the day.

Visited Kat in Montpellier

Now this was over a month ago, but it’s time to get up to date with the blog again.

Two weeks after Barcelona I drove to Montpellier, it took just a bit more than 3 hours to get there. On the way I managed to miss the exit for Ikea in Toulon where I wanted to exchange a lamp, but that’s another story.

My first impression of the city was a big flowery tram. I had stopped for red light under a bridge when suddenly the big flower-power worm crosses the road just infront of me, I had to laugh out loud!

We spent the weekend in a very relaxed mode, first visiting the center on saturday, and we went to Ikea to eat a luxurious swedish dinner, and to change my lamp. Finally.

We enjoyed the sun and the beach all sunday.

And then of course lots of girl talk the night in between!
