Hello Real World

1. A few of my purchases from my trip to Holland

2. Hospital paperwork, also from Holland

3/4. Primark jumper dress (really old now) and Tesco tights. No shoes because wearing them hurts.

5. Tired face.

So I have returned from my travels; I actually got back Wednesday evening but have been in an exhausted stupor since.
It was a whirlwind trip to Holland and mainly fabulous. Best friend and I stayed with my Aunt and Uncle + two cousins and were pretty much waited on hand and foot. We chilled out, watched films, explored Deurne, Eindhoven, Nijmegen (home of the Bridge Too Far) and a town in Germany which is driving distance from where my family live.

I also saw rather more than I wanted to of the Dutch healthcare system after an accident in Zara (careless lady trailing bag strap which I didn’t see) led to the fear of dislocated toes and broken foot/ankle. Thankfully I escaped with sprains and bruises galore but I’m strapped up and limping for the forseeable.

Well,
I’m back to work today…lucky old me. Still, one day until the weekend then a fun/exciting week ahead!

How has your week been?
