This week was again an exiting week at Netberg. We have started planning our official launch event, and I get to help out with the preparations. It's still is a month away, but I'm sure that month is gonna fly by, so we need to focus and work hard!
This weekend was pretty amazing to be honest. A good weekend of a lot of London-fun. Friday night, it was time to catch up with Kirsten and cook and eat some lovely food. On Saturday we went to Victoria & Albert museum together, and afterwards we enjoyed some of the most beautiful places of London: The Borough of Chelsea and Kensington. We even ended up in Harrods and we were almost crying because all of the beautiful night gowns. Mostly because they were expensive and we will probably never be able to afford them...
Saturday night, I had a social with work. We went to this place near Westminster Bridge (where I got to enjoy the sunset over the Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, while I was waiting for my colleagues who were late, so it was a blessing in disguise). We played table tennis and pool all night, while enjoying each other company and of course: had a few beers.
This morning I went to Palm Sunday at St Paul's Cathedral. I had never been inside, and I thought: ha, why not go to a service, without having to pay the entrance fee. As it is the Holy Week, I thought: there must be something special going on at St. Paul's this week. And I was right: this morning, there was a re-enactment of the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, with a procession of palms led by a donkey from Paternoster Square, which is right next to the Cathedral. After that, there was a Eucharist service. I am so happy that I went this morning. It was very special to be able to see St. Pauls like that, while listening to the amazing choir and the Bible stories. The procession before the service was also really special, with in fact not one but two donkeys!
As this is the Holy Week, it is also the last week of Lent, so of me not eating meat. I was surprised that I didn't struggle that much with not eating meat. I saw it as a test for myself. I have always been talking about how I just want to eat organic meat, as it is better for the animals and the environment. But it is quite hard to get(especially in restaurant and pubs) and expensive. Therefor I thought: ah it's to hard to just eat organic meat, I'll just eat any meat. That's why I stopped eating meat during Lent: to see how much I would really miss it. Turns out: I'm ok without it. Therefor I have decided, if I want to eat meat, I have to be sure it's organic.
This week is not just the countdown to Easter, but also for me to go home for a bit! As much as I love London, I can't WAIT to be home on Thursday night. I can't wait to see everyone!
Love,
Yolanda
