Dogsitting Nina

Today is a busy day with not much time for reading. This afternoon going to the optician to have my eyes checked. See if that is influencing my headaches.

I did have time to check out this wonderfull new blogsite. http://portaltorealmsonourbookshelves.blogspot.com/
It is a great site! Check it out if you have the time.

And I am nearly finished with the Sixth wife which deals with Henry VIII's widow. The story is seen from the point of view of her best friend. Luckily this is a character from the series The Tudors, otherwise I would not have been able to place her. Charles Brandon's widow. It is interresting, but not the best book about the period I have ever read.

Hey and I have become serious about the writing I was discussing yesterday. Going to do it together with my good friend Mel. And if more people want to join...
I am going to ignore pain and time restraints and follow my heart. The pain book has tought me that that is the best way to beat the pain anyway.

Today I am also dogsitting the most adorable dog ever. And yes I am a huge doglover. Stil miss my little dog that I had as a teenager very much. This is Nina a King Charles. She is nearly two and very adorable. And she hates being alone. As my friends have to work and go to college tonight she is spending the day at my place. Not helpfull for getting much done. :)

Sixth holiday blog

Image
We are coming to the end of my holiday. Friday was the last day of sightseeing and we had selected Porthsmouth. Again not too far a drive from Winchester. Here you can see two great historic ships. The first is HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar. Last time I was here you went in with a guided tour, now it was selfguided. And I remem bered correctly how hard it is on us who are a bit taller. With 1.84 it is not fun. And the poor captain of the boat was 1.93. While would anyone of that length want to enter the navy of that time is beyond me. We all enjoyed the tour very much and after this one we went to the Mary Rose museum. She is a Tudor royal ship, named after Henry VIII's favorite sister. There is about half of the ship left and it is still being sprayed with a solution to save her. Amazing that it sunk almost 500 years ago. This year in September she will be dry and then they will preserve her and build a new museum that will open in 2012. I do want to come bac

Flow!

Image
Flow is a wonderfull thing, it makes you creative and you want to keep going and going without ever stopping what you are doing. But.... if you are a chronic sufferer like me, it has it's drawbacks. I function very well if I take many a n to my practice in fact. It came to me last week. I don't have my own space for sessions so I have to rent. I like to communicate with people all over the world and already want to work with people from foreign countries who live in the Netherlands. Why not branch out to internet coaching? And use modern techniques as voice and video on the computer. I could then branch out to people who are thinking about moving and give them advice. And even do regular counseling/coaching for people who find it hard to come to my location. nd long breaks throughout the day. And well that kinda breaks the flow. finding my way in this process has taken me a long time. And I am there now, most of the time. This week I found it very difficult to stop in time, bef

Dutch drivers

Image
There are days that I hate Dutch drivers! I had to take my dad to the hospital this morning for a check-up and of course it as during rush hour. In town I have to cross a point were it is almost impossible to get on the road at that hour because nobody will let you in. So I avoided this point by taking a detour and ended up there on the right road. Now I was thinking about the other people who have trouble merging in. And I let one car in what all the cars ahead of me didn't do. But then the other cars waiting pushed their way in in front of me. And that makes me mad!!!! you try to help and then they take advantage of you. Not good! At the hospital which we made with minutes to spare we found out that the doctor had been stuck in traffic and there was a 45 minutes delay. Grrrrrr not a nice morning. Started a new book this morning when I got home. romantic historical novel set in the time of Charles I. It is a new writer for me, so it is wait and see. I like a good story in my roma
