My weeklies: 17-2026

To preserve fuel and to promote a healthier lifestime, I’ve been walking almost daily to the shop for my daily groceries. And to make it a bit more entertaining I found different routes to the supermarket. Off the beaten track to get more steps in. And it has been fun re-discovering the places that I roamed as a child. And also meeting the local pets, there are a lot of cats on my route. Some are a bit skittish but others were full on leg rubbing and rolling on the floor.

Now that the foliage has returned my local area looks very idyllic and I met a ‘pet me’ calico cat <3

A new Korean BBQ place opened up near our workplace and I was excited to try it out. The food was great but it was self-serve buffet style and I just don’t like bumping into other customers and kids kept running around the place which made the atomsphere very chaotic. Had hoped to find a place closer to home to visit reguraly but Utrecht will be the best location for us. Besides my husband and I have decided we are getting to old for all-you-can-eat. It feels more rushed and stressed.

Shrimp, various types of marinated meat, crab and scallops. You could DIY your own dipping sauce.

The rest of the week was dedicated to more spring cleaning. Organised my stationary and put all my stickers in a binder for easy access. I don’t feel like journalling daily but creating a travel memory journal is something I am looking into. I can start with our upcoming trip to Düsseldorf. It is our annual get-away-from-Kingsday trip. We rather spend our day off in either Germany or Belgium for some fun walks and basking in the sun.

In the past I collected various card games like Pokemon but I quit after I broke up. Now I have started collecting again but on different terms. Not trying to complete full sets as they come out but instead the awsome art cards that are there. I did make a price cap because I am not going to spend big bucks on cards haha.

There are two artists (for now) that I am creating collection binders for. Asako Ito crocheted the Pokemon and I have almost completed that set which will go in a 4 card binder. Still need to find a binder that fits my taste. Her cards were in the price range of 2 to 30 cents, only the Snorlax is going to be €10 (which is not that bad).

The other artist is Yuka Morii with her clayfigure Pokemon which will take me a longer time to collect as she has designed over 200 cards haha.

Music wise it has been a bit of a low this week. I was so busy on Thursday that I forgot to put on a record. So We had only listened to ELO on Tuesday. ELO always perks me up. It a great band and the songs just resonate well with me. Bonne chance next time :D.

ELO – Out of the Blue

What I did binge this week was the K-RomCom was Nice to Not Meet You with Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon. I fucking love Lee Jung-jea, he had such an innocent boyish look in this series for a 52y old man. If I could just squeeze him. And everyone one saying I love him because of Squidgame, I never finished it. He is a great actor but I couldn’t stand the premise of the series. People were just cruel and you have some awful rich guys betting on the misery and death of people. I am an eat-the-rich-girl. I know Lee Jung-jae from many other movies like Oh! Brothers, Il Mare, Deliver Us from Evil, The Thieves and many more. This guy is multi-talented, and ofcourse handsome. Just let me have my fangirl moment.
