Happy birthday Ali!

(not so) Little Miss Cupcake

The cupcake empire is slowly growing and taking over the kitchen and what remains of my weekend. Planning on baking 250+ cakes tomorrow and accordingly just headed out to the shop to buy 5 kilos of butter ... have you ever seen 5 kilos of butter in a pile ... it's kind of horrid. Much thanks for Nick for the incredible logo he surprised us with this week. We love it!

Evening walk home

Long day at work but a nice walk home. Kinda forgot I owed a camera in the past couple of weeks ... kinda sucks when that happens!

Return "home"

I could not be more excited about the upcoming trip that has spontaneously appeared in my calendar for next weekend! Work has been crazy the past three weeks and with so much running through my head I cannot wait to escape back to Aix-en-Provence to celebrate Lilou's 25th birthday with some of the coolest people I know! Aix, hold onto your hat, cos I'm coming!

Last Christmas

Introducing Munthof 2010

A few lift booth photos of my (ace of base) flat mates. Breaking news; Bieke is no longer pregnant; she had a beautiful baby boy on Friday at 12.27! As yet he is nameless; but he's hairy and so crazily tiny. I'm (naively?) excited about baby life ... going to be an adventure!

Snowy Brussels

The scariest experience of my life!!!!!!!!!

On Monday I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to work as a translator for a Belgian cartoonist called Pierre Kroll; he's a bit of a legend here in the Benelux political world (so don't be too heart broken if you're like ... "who!!"). Anyway, there was a big conference organised by European Commission here in Brussels called European Development Days where he (and I) were invited to illustrate (well I wasn't doing any drawing ... he didn't even let me touch his rubber) debates lead by heads of state and major political figures from all the world. He was illustrating the debates live and then I was translating his "bubbles" from French to English for the audience to understand.

Sometimes I take a step back from my life and wonder how the hell I ended up doing what I'm doing. I don't mean this at all in a bad way; work, travel and opportunity wise every day is an incredible gift but sometimes I can't help but chuckle and think how truly random life can be.
