on a rooftop in Jaisalmer, India… Refreshing wind after a hot day, the sound of tinkeling bells, surrounded by the temples’rooftops, so beautifully carved and magic. Pure romance.

How I did it
It made me
amazed and dreamy... 
How I did it: tina and petra in the desert of Jordan. So magical... so romantic. We met such wonderful people. We stayed with an iraqi family in Amman, friends of Tina's friend in Brussels. They were so nice for us and took such good care of us. In Petra we met two Bedouins and it was same same there but different :-) I cried when I had to go back. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I made the house birthday-ish with balloons and colourful festoons. There was a lot of champagne and we played games. Later when everybody had left except the other birthday boy and my boyfriend we went to explore what was behind our garden to find a place to try out the boomerang. It turned out to be some kind of swamp and me and the other birthdayboy sunk in until our thighs. It was hilarious for some reason and we all got superdirty, a… Read how I did it…

How I did it: It was the first time we invited so much people in our garden/house (15 guests), so we had to ask some of them to bring their own chairs :-) We put our black couch in the garden to relax in the sun.I made lots of summery/italian/greek appetizers, mojitos and self-made lemonade. I also bought two glittery hoops for me and my friends to play with. We also blow bubbles, played petanque and limbo danced. My boyfriend was an excelent BBQ chef.… Read how I did it…

how to survive...

working at home all day on your PhD…
Sometimes it is really cosy to be at home in silence and think, write and work… (especially when it is going well and you have a clear head and inspiration)
But somthimes it is so dull and it drives me crazy to be in the house all day.
...a few things that really help me not to go NUTS:
- biking to the library and choose some nice comic books to read in the evening (I can barely read other things then comic books these days)
- taking a walk to the small birdlake – love the goose!
- a bit of “semi-jogging”
Sooo Mafaldita make sure to do one of these every day!
