MusicMonday: Gatekeeper by Feist

This week I'm going back to school. Dutch School. I can't wait to learn this language that baffles me most of the time. But it's also a language that makes me smile. I mean, how can it not when it features such every day words as cute/curious as winkel (shop), donker (dark) and slaap (sleep).

Anyway. I'll report back soon on how it's all going and how many more Dutch words make me smile.

In the meantime here's a song I've been listening to a lot while writing and trying to keep up with NaNoWriMo (as you can see here, I have a lot of catching up to do later today...). Anyone else there doing it? How's it going?
And here's a collection of Instagrams from Porto. Such a lovely, relaxing (port-fuelled!) few days.
