Having 3 weeks of holiday and nowhere to go has been a rather unusual experience for me. During my working life I usually managed to squeeze as much travelling as possible out of my vacation allowance, meaning that I very rarely spent free time at home relaxing. Even when I left the office and moved to Dundee I worked until the very last day. So what did I do with my 3 weeks of freedom?
I visited The Netherlands, filled a suitcase full of flower bulbs and sang with my old choir at the Nicolaasbasiliek in Amsterdam…
… and then I came back to Dundee and slept a lot…
… before singing some more, this time at St Paul’s Cathedral in Dundee.
I took a tour of Perth by vintage bus…
… the family came to stay for Christmas and we had a day trip out to Arbroath…
… I shovelled pebbles, lugged compost and built 3 more vegetable beds….
… went running in Dundee for the first time and took the bike out …
… and tried to stock up the freezer with food to keep me going during term time…
… sat in on a clinic at Ninewells and did some (not enough!) study…
… read a lot …
… unpacked a few more boxes and slept some more!
Returning to work after two weeks of freedom, I wish you a very happy new year!
Hi Natasha,
a successful and happy new year from your ex-colleagues here in Munich!
Hi Natasha,
it’s this day of the year again: HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!
How do you celebrate such a thing during your medical study ??
Anyway, take care and enjoy your ‘New Year’.
BTW, do you have an email address, because then I could have sent some ‘flowers’ 🙂
