playing with my new scanner

Yesterday was a pretty tiring day. Second studyday. It was a good day learnt a lot and the group is wonderful. It feels safe and already close after just two days. But I was exhausted at the end of the day. The chairs are not exactly comfy for me and I pulled a muscle in my back. Which of course leads to more pain in my arms, grumble.

It meant i could play with the new scanner a little less then I had planned. But I did manage to get the first set of family pics done. It is pretty amazing to look at. There are photo's of nearly a century old which depict my great grandfathers, and my grandparents as young people. It awes me. And it makes me happy that they are now safe on the computer and the internet and not just in an old drawer. And I finally have a photo of Timmy, the dog I had for 14 years on my computer. I love scanners, I really do!

I have also been ordering some books. 3 studybooks and some fun books. Book 6 and 7 from the Merry Gentry series. Now I am rereading them I want to go on when the next comes out. I didn't do as much reading as I had planned this afternoon though. The Jean plaidy book I am reading about Henry VIII's sister is proving to be very good. She was a minor character in the first season of the tudors and it is interresting to get to know more about her. Jean Plaidy did right a series of books about english history. I did read a few of the earlier ones years ago, but this makes me want to buy more of them.

Sixth holiday blog

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
