Best of October

I haven't written in ages and I really miss it! I've only had time to read other people's blog posts the last couple of weeks, but I hope I'll soon have an opportunity to catch up a little. I'm doing a million projects at the same time in an attempt to find a job somehow. It's tough. Fortunately some of these projects are really interesting though and in my own field of expertise (archaeology/history). I'm not giving up, haha!
Here an impression of October as I experienced it. I'm so glad it's autumn...my favourite season! Too bad I'll be 30 years old in two more days...it's really not that old, but it sounds so awfully grown-up!

 A day at the Efteling theme park (look at that steampunk dragon!)

 Walking into my favourite coffee bar with smokey eyes, resulting in:

 Harvesting my tiny home-grown paprika's:

 My hair grew a lot over summer:
