Merry christmas

Merry christmas to everyone all over the world. Everybody celebrates it differently. Parcels on chrismas eve or chrismas day, one day off or two. Here in the Netherlands we have the presents on christmas eve. This is what I got from my parents. I can use it when I go away for ebooks, music and films and to check the internet. But mainly I am going to use it for the practice. It has all legal software, linux based. It ways next to nothing and I can still type on it very well. I do have a laptop, [I want my mum to go and use that one more and not only for games!!!!!] but on bad days when my arms hurt it is too heavy for me. This one isn't. In between clients I can make some notes and do more with them when I get home. So it is ideal for my needs.

I will blog about the weekend later. Monday evening I met with an accountant. It is all becoming so real now, the only thing missing is the clients. It is strange to think that I will be opening my own business. Exiting and more then a little scary. This time next year I hope to be able to earn my own money again, enough to live on. It helps that I never had a high salary so I am used to not having much. If I can have my internet, do social things with friends and buy my books I am a happy puppy.

More to come about games, and if I feel like it a review of the year and my hopes and dreams for next year.

For now enjoy the food and the company of christmas. Mine will be traditional, good food with my parents and in between a pile of DVD's. This year I have selected movies from the thirties and forties for myself. After christmas I will do social things with friends.

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...
