After months of thinking about it, then trying it, failing it and trying it again it seems that everything is set up the way I want it to be and that as from today I'm using Movable Type to publish my blog.
I notice most husbands are the technical brain behind the blog but I don't have such husband. He can make absolutely beautiful things and he's lovely, funny and interesting but he can't fix me a nice blog. I need to do it all by myself and with the help of my pseudo computer husband Jo, who's a woman too. Thanks Jo for being my second set of brains!!
A couple of things have changed, I now have categories, I've made an archive page and I've moved all my favorite blog links to the links page. I've uploaded all my old blogger entries to Movable Type but lost all comments - such a shame because I love comments!!
I sure love my new publishing home.
Cheers!

Oh and Jes is opening her new shop, you might like to take a peek. |
After a very long and fun conversation with Kathleen last night we came to talk about my garden and the boot room and how the boot room is joined to the house. It's a bit complicated because pre WWII houses here in The Netherlands are always a bit of a mystery. For example we didn't have a full working bathroom when we moved in because the house wasn't designed for it. Apparently the previous previous previous previous owners used to bathe in the little house (we call boot room now) in a bucket. The previous previous owners made that little extension that joins the main house with the little house. That little house is a true gem because it's multifunctional. Behind that cute door, with the heart cut out, is a little attic where we store "things we do not want to look at and be seen with" aka Bo's stuff. Behind the large window is the laundry and behind the small window is a WC. The little annex is for washing hands and for being pretty.
The patio is still really boring but everything needs to grow and I still need to paint. But we've come a long way as this is what it looked like when we bought it two years ago.
It's home and it's different to most houses here and that's why we like.
