Long silence

Sorry for the long absence. I promise to do better in the future. The last couple of months I have not been in the mood for blogging. I had to do so much writing for the counseling website that I did not feel much like writing here. And then there was the text for the leaflet to make and the cards and..... At one time I was doing way too much again and had to cut back. My coach had to tell me twice.

As a result I did nearly nothing for two weeks, just recuperating a bit and enjoying myself with watching the Tour de France. Some people found it boring this year but I enjoyed the first and the third week very much. In the past I was never an Armstrong fan but I love rooting for the underdog so this year I did enjoy watching him and cheering for him. I think it is a great achievement to stop for 3 years and then come back at this high level and be third in this year's tour. Very good!

Now that I am not so tired anymore I am doing a bit better physically. Had another nice chat with the neurologist and this time he even listenened. And he has given me a medication that should help against tension headaches. To early to say if they are really helping but they are not doing any harm and I truly think that they are at least doing something.

Right now making the last preparations to go on holiday tomorrow. With my good friend Alice and her nine year old daughter. So a different sort of holiday for me. Not looking forward to travel tomorrow, 4 different trains and a tube ride before we pick up the hire car in Ashford. I wish it was around 5 o'clock this time tomorrow. :)

Promise to get back to you all after my holiday!

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
