Octobre à La Haye, déprime assurée !
Ce mois de septembre est allé vite, très vite ! Et sur la foulée, octobre lui a emboîté le pas, dare dare, sous une température bien fraîche et des pluies fréquentes !!
Bon, à part Charline qui est en manches courtes, les autres ont leur plaid !
Bref, une période d’installation et d’accoutumance un peu difficile !!! Heureusement, c´est bientôt les vacances de la Toussaint et ça va faire du bien !!!

Hello dear readers, regular or punctual, interested readers or voyeurs !!!
This month of September went fast, very fast! And October has followed very fast as well, under a very cold temperature and frequent rain!
It seems that I was unlucky: it is extremely rare that it rains every day! Especially everytime when I ride my bike, systematically, I have a second shower ... But much colder this one. Blast!!! I am unlucky !!!
I must find a strategy! And quickly : I'll find a way to no longer have the sticky pair of wet jeans on my skin and spend an infinite time to dry. That is not very pleasant! Yeah, yeah, i know ! I have many other things to tell you rather than talking about wet jeans but I can tell you that it's part of my daily life ... and it's soooooooo hard to handle ! So the strategy is... tights ! because when you wipe a tight with a tea towel (which I always have in my bike pouch now), it's almost dry ... and here, in the Netherlands, they do not stare at you or your legs if you're wearing a skirt on a bike. It is extremely convenient and above all I feel free... very nice change compare to Azerbaidjan !! Well ... I will not go to put on miniskirts either!! I'm cold I told you... it's not to get the flu on top of it !!!
So yes, September was a bit difficult: Gaetan remained in Baku, I had to manage everything alone. Not that I am afraid. Just super alone : I am bored! Well ... it's not really the term ... let's say I found the time very long (well, when there were no kids) and I has no adult conversation and no craft to complete (having not take my sewing machine!), having to change myself 3 times a day (if you properly followed my writting !!!). So I started a knitted snood, to write the beginning of a novel, send so many whatsapp like a follish (especially to Gaetan who did not necessarily have the time to answer me!) ... besides it was necessary still shopping at the local supermarket, by bike and too often under the rain! I need my balance, moral down, not great for me and my children! Yes, because when mom is not on top, children are always more tense! It's mathematical and you have to adapt to another school ...
Hopefully, birthdays of Edgar and Clovis have pour a bit of fun and colours !
I had a lot of administrative tasks to handle including no internet for a week, a blue card in the name of Gaetan to have to activate when I'm not the account holder (arggggg !!!) and no possibility still to be delivered by the local supermarket, because I do not have a phone number yet and I do not understand the site that is only in Dutch! Not to mention the heating that does not work and that I was freezing (yes, especially with wet jeans !!)
To make it short ... I think the facilities are easier when it is Gaëtan who makes them and I come later with the tribe ! Eh eh !
Otherwise, Dutch people are nice, cool and quite indifferent. It's a nice city!
