not enough hours in the day!


It's been over a week since my last post!!! Way too long. Of course I was in Belgium from thursday till yesterday afternoon, so that didn't help. It was great fun though, we did almost nothing else but play boardgames! Anno 1701 was certainly one of the winners of the weekend, we all liked it. It is from the same maker as Catan, and some of the basics are the same, but there is more too it. We played ticket to ride nordic countries a lot as well. That one is very addictive. If I had more money and more space to put things I would buy more from the series. There is the US board with an expansion, the europe board with an expansion and the Marklin version. Powergrid is fun as well, but I think that is better with more players. And of course there was the getting to know the rules. So much better when you have someone around who knows the rules well to explain them to you.

My cloak is not in yet, it is definitely at customs, bugger. That is going to cost me extra money. Of course it was calculated but you always hope it doesn't happen. :)

Didn't read much this weekend. Katherine goes fast again, second time I am reading it and just as gripping as the first. For the rest I am not reading books that really hold my attention that well. And of course still doing a lot of studybooks.

Client again tonight, so did a bit of preparing and feeling confident about that, so why can't I get rid of those nerves. I am confident, looking forward to it, know it is practice and still the nerves won't leave my stomac alone, bummer!

Hopefully more later in the week!

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
