My Blue Heaven

Filling the blanks

Err.. woah I just realised I haven’t blogged for so long there’s only blank space on my blog! Sorry to my readers for the lack of updates and lack of frequency in updates. Lots has been happening. I’m currently in between contracts and in the process of negotiating my new contract! If all goes well, I’ll be starting a new job soon. Its for 6 weeks, up in Derby, in the middle of the UK. Yep not in London. But the pay is… well.. way more than I’ve ever earnt before! 😀

In the meantime I’ve actually been living in Frankfurt with some friends for the past 1 & 1/2 weeks, as my temporary rent in london had come to a close. And it is much cheaper living out here whilst I am in between contracts. Even with the cost of the flight. Its been pretty cool living here. I rather like it – and am even starting to get better at speaking German. At least I can mostly read menus now and order food etc.

Last weekend we went to Brussels again. And I had one of my biggest shopping sprees ever! (And about time – I haven’t shopped for new clothing since I was in Australia!) Stocked up on all my winter gear at cheap European prices in Belgium. Did you know that different countries in Europe have different prices for the exact same item from the same shop? And UK prices are always the most expensive! Anyway, I absolutely LOOOOOOOOVE shopping in Europe! And I LOOOOVE European clothes and shoes. Mmmmm…. And I’ve found my new favourite clothing brands/shops over here – Mango (or MNG), Zara and Morgan De Toi. The first two are the new big fashion houses from Spain. Spain is really up and coming in the fashion industry now apparently and is huuge over here in UK and Europe. And Morgan De Toi is from Paris – a more boutique store with very parisian style clothing.

So anyway, will post my shopping conquests later. 🙂

Gotta dash and do some washing then go meet someone for lunch.
