Some people are meant to do certain things, and other people are certainly not meant to do those same things. I’m not meant to wear socks I guess. I’m not sure exactly when and where I caught it, but it has been going on for roughly one year now. The problem: after a few weeks holes start to appear in any new pair of socks that I buy. I never used to have that problem. And I’m not buying the very cheapest socks of which one would normally expect things like this. I wondered, is it my shoes? I would have to say no… It happens with my casual shoes, it happens with my work shoes. Does anybody have any suggestions??

Last night I spent almost talking two hours talking to my family on the phone. Obviously, since my family is Dutch, I spoke in Dutch with them. My non-Dutch friends have always commented on how harsh the Dutch language sounds, but I never realised that to be true. Until last night that is… I hadn’t spoken Dutch for probably about a month, and after speaking Dutch for an hour my throat was hurting. Guess it’s true that it’s a harsh language…
