Hello November (Part 2)
The Autumn really kicked in recently. A week or two ago it was colorful and sunshine Autumn weather, a huge Autumn storm came and destroyed the colorful images, there's not much left of the colorful leafs on the trees. City cleaners cleaned up the streets and the leafs are all gone. Or you go to a forest here, there might be a chance to find the beauty of Autumn. There has been a lot of rain recently aswell, and more rain is on it's way. Although that, I have plans to go out tomorrow, I need a few thick sweaters!
Just the sweaters and then I'm done for this season, my favorite sweater shrunk in the was last week. I washed it on a to high temperature, sigh! I know a few good clothing stores where they have good prices, it will be good. And guess what, I'm getting a new 'buddy,' just like I had last year. Though my last years 'buddy' wasn't a success. I thought, "That, never again!" But yeah, cheers to the next buddy, it all came out of know here two weeks ago. I was in a conversation with someone while having my free dinner. Then the subject 'socializing' came up. I told my story and said that I'm still looking for a bit more socializing in my life, though it was though to find something.
A guy who was one of the organizers from the free dinners who heared our conversation recently started a project called 'Buddy wanted,' sounds familiar, lol. After hesitation a few weeks, I said yes, and signed myself in. "What do I have to loose, right? What is a buddy? A 'buddy' is someone who visits you once a week or once in two weeks, together we will work on my socializing events, going out or visit something, a event or whatever. A buddy can aswell help me with finding something to do during the week or weekend. He can help me to find a club or help me to join a sport, give tips or instructions, etc, etc.
I use to do 'that' kinda thing on my own but without success. Now, I'm NOT a lonely person, and certainly NOT a unhappy person. My life made a complete tumble after I returned from Canada, I can now say (after a long time) in a good way. It's only I still need just that 'little thing' more to full fill my weekly or weekend wishes. I'm in need of a bit more socializing, more people around me, you name it. I miss still kinda that. Most of the time I'm just happy with the things I do and what I have around me, but so now and then there are moments when I think, "I need more company around me, more friends, etc, etc.
The 'buddy' can possibly help me, if not? Well, then not, I have nothing to loose. Upcoming Wednesday I will have a appointment with one of the organizers of 'Buddy wanted,' it's all good. Further any news? No, not that much, work is going well, I still live in my villa, lol, my income is okay, (I get around, and that's all I need) though I called in some help for filling in my taxes. That will be also this upcoming Wednesday, just to be sure of things and that I'm not doing or filling in the wrong answers I called for help. It will be good... hopefully, lol!

Hello November!
Hello November!
Perhaps once a month writing a post is alright, it's for sure not the same as writing everyday a post. Do I miss writing daily? Yes, and no, yes, because it gives that finished feeling about a blog. Because writing a post so now and then wasn't my goal, so now I have that un-finished feeling, lol. And no, because it was a tough job to write every day, not having to write daily does give kinda a relieved feeling. What have I been upto the last few weeks or month...
Uhm, well, I confirmed a trip to Barcelona, Spain, woot! My goal was to go by plane somewhere, but that didn't work out. A suddenly bankrupted company made it impossible to go anywhere with a plane, I could, but that would have cost me alot of money. More money then what my limit was. My goal was aswell to travel during the Christmas season, within that season it was tough to book a trip. It seemed that the whole world would be spending Christmas outdoors. So, yeah, the travel agency (store) I went to for booking a trip wasn't successful.
I went online and went to the same travel company where I went with the last two years, they have all kinda trips, like excursion trips, single trips, theme trips, city trips, and so on and on. It's easy to book a trip with them online, the only thing I didn't like that they don't do plane trips. Every trip they have is by bus, I booked the Barcelona trip within five minutes. Traveling to Barcelona by bus is quit a distance, but okay, there wasn't another option, disappointed? No way! I'm excited to go! I will be leaving on the 22th of December and return on the 30th of December.
Eight days in Barcelona, Spain, celebrating Christmas. In 2011 I celebrated New Years in London and Christmas at home, in 2012 I celebrated New Years in Paris and Christmas at home. But this time I celebrate Christmas in Barcelona, and New Years at home. It's easier for me aswell because of work, the last two years I had to take a few days off after New Years, cause of my returning of my trip. I wasn't alowed to have days off anymore after New Years. It's a far drive to Barcelona.
The good thing is we have a stay over somewhere in France, the stay over breaks the long trip, and that's good. As always, I will be prepared for this trip, and as always when I'm ready to leave and lock my front door and headed with my suitcase to the 'departure' point my trip begins! The trip I booked will be again a excursion trip, in my eyes the best trips. Traveling with a group is always nice, and you get to see the best places and spots while on our way. It's all very well organized.
Though, next year I will try and succeed to book a flying trip, it's just the amazing feeling to go high up in the air to go somewhere far. To be continued....
