Disappeared !

So, where were we….

last two weeks ive been pretty busy doing work for phil, and starting up with other projects. My website is online for the one who’s interested! www.thedutchdesigner.com. So spread the word! haha. Training hasn’t been great last 2 weeks. dont remember what happened two weeks ago.. but last week Neil was over! I had so much fun. Could do it over and over again. i’ve got some photo’s of saturdays halloween but i think Neil agrees on me by not putting them online haha. So if you want to see them….. fly over haaaa!

hope family and friends are doing good! next week some more photos. cant be bothered putting some online right now to be honest :p. training in a couple of minutes. a proper one!

Full but fun week

Full but fun week

I have to confess…. I didnt train a lot this week, but it was a really fun week. Starting from our last monday news, tuesday Rob and Daniele (ehhh suikerbuikje.:p) came over to Glasgow. So i got dropped at the bus station in dunfermline (about 6 miles from here/8 km) and i hopped on the bus towards Glasgow. I arrived 1,5 hour later in Glasgow but soon figured out that the train station wasnt there. So i found myself the information desk and the guy behind the desk gave me a mapmap_glasgow and explained me how to get to the train station. So there i walked through town with my map. I worried a bit if i was going in the right way but i didnt want to ask anyone. Fortunately i pretty quick found the train station and surprisingly i walked into them almost right away! We chatted for a minute or two and walked into town. We had some drinks first and continued walking. After our search for the hotel we finally found it, dropped our stuff and had another drink at a pub just across the street. From there on we basically visited every pub, club / bar in town! haha. Not forgetting to mention we had a nice dinner too! (ook al was het een soort van gepland rop…) I really enjoyed them staying. Cant wait till next time..

Monday update no #1

Monday update no #1

This weekend Phil came home from Switzerland where he stayed for 2 days. We immediately went training when he got back. Still no mounts into handstand unfortunately but we’re working on it! after we got back we had a late meal of good tasting pizza! (ate too much..) Sunday Phil went training with Joanne and Hannah Eccles. I went with him to watch but after John Eccles asked me for the second time to jump on the horse i couldn’t resist and did some basic exorcises. In the evening we had a barbecue so we did some shopping and cleaning during the day before the guests arrived.

i will edit this update after i’m done with training which is now!
totzo
// volgende dag..

Barbecue was nice, Phil has got some funny friends. One guy in particular since he really has some dry humor.

Back to the future…; The night before Phil came home i went out with Manuela (German girl) and Lesley (Scottish). We went to a club which was pretty empty and weird… but it was fun to be in a club after seeing several pubs (and no I’m not drinking that much..) as i like clubs better. I even did a little dance.

- mount into handstand
- daily barrel training

-something that hasn’t got anything to do with vaulting…; taking (more) pictures when i go out etc. so you can enjoy not only reading text but also see some pictures!

And back to yesterday. training was good:) abs are a tiny little sore, shoulder muscles and arm muscles too and legs from stretching as well.
Tonight again.

Monday updates

So…. every monday you can count on an update. If something really good/fun/or whatever has happened i will post that on an occasional other day as well.

Last week wasn’t to big of a deal. i’ve done some graphic design for promoting the riding lessons and vaulting in here. I’m not completely happy with the outcome but the poster/flyer had to be done quick so i think if i would have had some more time it would have been better. (the image is in very low quality..! so the printed one will be better of course!)

Other things i’ve done are creating a new image for myself. I’ve bought the domain name; thedutchdesigner.com. I’m currently still working on the design, but its getting better every day. Today I’ll hopefully finish the logo and design of the website so i can put it online soon. When it’s online I’ll let you know! And if anyone knows… hoe gaat dat in nederland als je buitenlandse klanten hebt met de belasting enzo?! haha. dus als iemand het weet…;)

- mount into handstand
- daily barrel training
I’m deleting the lower abs and arm muscles because I’m doing them plenty! the barrel isn’t really great to vault on so i need a solution for that & not much horse training over here sooo……

I’m going to continious again.. So monday will probably the first new post;)

im sitting and living in a van right now.. feels like camping haha. i swapped from ross his place to phil’s two days ago. where our party started in Edinburgh it ended in Glasgow. and how… ill show you a nice video..

helped phil a bit yesterday and it seems like i will have some work over here. so far so good. yesterday morning i had a quick look around and phil has a pretty nice gym. trampoline, barrels the whole thing. the only encounter though is that he only trains once a week on a horse. struggling a wee bit with that (Scottish for a little bit). but we will figure out something.

// will post a picture of the van soon.

goals; did a little bit of barrel training yesterday. there are three barrels over here so that wont be a problem. havent been jumping on horses yet so no updates about my mount.
