Most recent crazy thing I did...

You know those urges you sometimes get when change is in the air and you feel you just need to follow it? Well, I have them from time to time. On average once or twice a year I think :-)
These things usually lead me to some kind of experiment with my appearance, like the time when I cut half a meter off my hair, or the time when I curled it. This time I decided to colour it... orange! Or rather red, but as expected it looks very carrotty. Now I quite like it actually. Sorry to all my friends who told me not to mess with the natural blonde hair! For those of you who prefer me the normal way, don't worry, it will go away, most likely in a week or two. For those of you who prefer me this way, well, enjoy it while it lasts!

Quick catch-up post

Woops, it's been ages again!
That's a good sign in a way, means I'm busy running around doing lots of stuff :-)
On the other hand you guys miss out on updates, so here's a catch up post.
My summer's been great, the activity in my work industry was quite low, so I've had a very 'normal' lifestyle the past months, especially July. You know, 9 to 5 (ok, 6, or 7 ...) and time to sleep at night :-) Anyway, you know me, I was starting to miss the extreme so compensated by enjoying a bit of the beach club nightlife. It's quite perfect when it's so warm outside. Thanks for those of you that made it to visit me here, especially cuz I know it's hard when I can't promise beforehand if I'll be around for sure!
Apart from my work-life-vacation mix here in la bella Italia, and a weekend in Belgium to see my family, that's been pretty much it. Hope to have more vacation in 2008 so I can travel around Europe again a bit like in those good old student days, and catch up f2f on a bunch of you :-)
Anyway, picture time! All the funny party pictures are on a friend's camera, so here's some pictures from WORK =D Or rather, from some areas in Italy where I've been working this summer:

This is me before the summer started (take note: not tanned), looking tired after a job in the South of Italy, in the mountains in an area called Basilicata.


On arrival to our worksite there we found this note, saying in misspelt Italian: 'I'll be back soon, I've gone to the toilet'. We found out later where the toilet was, as we saw the man who'd left the note emerge from the bushes.

In June I did a job in the North of Italy, close to a lovely little town called Crema. This is the view looking up from a good plate of Italian food.

The past two weeks I've been to a place really really close here in Abruzzo. This is a lake in a national park which is just a 1 hour drive from where I live. Isn't it lovely?

And finally this is a very recent picture of me, just to prove to you all that it is possible for me to get tanned!
