Weekly diary #52: I am back from Prague!

Posted on July 26, 2018July 6, 2023

Hi, am I back again! Last week I wasn’t here with a weekly diary, I was on a short holiday to Prague! This week I am back with a new weekly diary. However, it is short. That’s because I was away for 5 days and came back on a Sunday. The past week it was very hot in Enschede and I worked a lot. Want to read along? Here’s weekly diary #52.

Sunday

On Sunday I came back from my holiday. Holiday? Again? Yes, I know. I am extremely spoiled. I’ve been to Prague for 5 days, with friends. We left Prague today around noon and around 8:30PM I was home. We went to Prague with two cars which proves again that you don’t need a plane for a city trip. I like going by car or train since you see a lot from the travel. I am going to write a blogpost about Prague, so stay tuned! Update: you can read all about Prague in this post.

Monday

Once I got home yesterday I all of a sudden felt quite bad. Maybe I haven’t eaten enough fruits and veggies on this city trip. Today I am therefore eating a lot of fruits and I’m also going to the gym again. I’ve also been doing something new the last couple of days: meditating. It’s something I’ve been trying to make a habit for a while now. When I do manage to do it for a few days I feel better in general. Today I also went to the hairdresser which cut my hair really short. I’ve been wanting to cut it for a while now, I was looking for something new. It feels good to have short hair now that summer is coming. I am happy! Today I had to work but when I came there it turned out that they didn’t need me. I went home to relax a night. I binged Thirteen Reasons Why on Netflix. A really good series.

Tuesday

Today I did actually work a few hours. My boyfriend is on a holiday, I can’t travel for free by train in summer and I just went on a holiday myself. I can use the money. I worked from noon till 5PM. Beforehand I went to the gym because that works better for me than going at night. After work I did some groceries at the greengrocer. Recently someone opened a new greengrocer in Enschede and I like supporting local entrepreneurs. However, this store only sells non-organic food and so I don’t think I’ll visit again. For dinner I ate some leftover bread which was left from our holiday. I had brought it home since I didn’t want to waste food. Once home I baked the bread with some oil, basil and tomatoes and tadaaaa, I had lovely bruschetta. I also made some tempeh with soy sauce and it was gooood. I can use this is several dished for next time. At night I went to the city center with some friends to have drinks. It was fun!

Wednesday

Today I worked again, but at another location of the same firm. It was a very quiet day. However, someone had pushed the alarm button just before we were going to go home. And so we had to wait a long time for the police and to resolve everything. Once I finally went home the rain was pouring like crazy and I came home soaked. It literally looked like I had jumped in a pool and I couldn’t see more than a meter in front of me while biking. I could see the humor of it and so I burst into laughing while I came home. At work most people complained about the hot weather outside. I don’t think we have to complain. Yes, it’s getting hotter and crazier because of the climate crisis. However, it’s going to get a lot worse and we’re wealthy enough to combat it at home. Anyhow, I wanted to go to the gym too today but I ended up on the couch watching a series. Fine too. See you next week! Bye!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

ABOUT ME

 

when a teen goes green

Hi! My name is Romee Hoeksma and I am on a journey to an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you. If anything, I like responses from my dear readers the most, so don’t hesitate to contact me or respond to any of my posts!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Dit zijn vegan aanraders in Warschau, Polen ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ. De nummer 1 in dit lijstje is voor mij wel Veganda, en dan vooral het voorgerecht: die boontjes ๐Ÿ˜. Maar dit is echt nog lang niet alles. Warschau heeft me enorm verrast qua vegan opties, echt fantastisch! Hoi! Op dit account deel ik tips om duurzaam/eco-positief te leven. Maar! Het is ook gewoon mijn persoonlijke account waar ik dingen deel over mezelf. En dus leek het me tof om een kleine introductie te schrijven over mij ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ. So, here it goes; Okรฉ, ik weet niet waarom ik dacht dat deze overgangen mooi zouden worden ๐Ÿ˜‚. Ik post het toch maar, want ik vond het te grappig en tja, alle outfits zijn wel echt 100% tweedehands.. De afgelopen jaren heb ik geleerd hoe ik met weinig tot geen olie lekkere gerechten op tafel kan zetten (helemaal plantaardig uiteraard) ๐ŸŒฏ. Weten hoe en waarom ik dat doe? Ik schreef er een artikel over die je nu kan vinden via de link in mijn bio. Dit is al het vegan eten wat ik at in Bratislava, Slowakije ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฐ. De stad heeft me verbaasd, want er zijn echt veel vegan restaurants. Moet je er 1 kiezen? Ga dan voor Balans Bistro, die is echt het beste. Vandaag maakte in voor het eerst sinds in veganistisch leef (6 jaar) weer eens quiche! Want ik kon nooit echt een simpel receptje vinden voor vegan quiche en dat schrok me af. Tot vandaag, want ik vond een recept van de Albert Heijn, met vegan kookroom en vegan ei van Plant B die ze sinds dit jaar verkopen. Op deze manier is het echt een makkie en quiche is dan ook zeker toegevoegd aan mijn kookportfolio! Ik ga dit vaker maken, en ook verschillende varianten. Het is zรณ makkelijk, maar wel heel lekker. Vandaag zat er eigenlijk alleen broccoli in, maar ik ben benieuwd naar wat nog meer mogelijk is. Vegan spekjes lijken me er bijvoorbeeld heerlijk in! ๐Ÿฅ“ Als je gaat wandelen/hiken, kan je heel makkelijk positieve impact maken! Neem een klein zakje of tasje mee en raap al het afval wat je tegen komt op: easy peasy ๐Ÿšฎ. Vandaag verscheen het laatste artikel op mijn blog over onze interrail avonturen. Je leest over hoe we met de trein van Kopenhagen terug naar Amsterdam reisden met de trein ๐Ÿšƒ. De foto past er niet echt bij haha, hier ben ik namelijk aan het genieten van een vegan milkshake (met herbruikbaar rietje!) in Warschau, maar ach. Ik ben van mening dat je niet ver hoeft te reizen om mooie dingen te zien. Europa is prachtig! Dit is Boheems Zwitserland in Tsjechiรซ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟ.
