A short update:
Last Thursday (the 29th of June) I was happy to post a blog again, I felt content with the video’s and ready to start a draft for a new one, but then… Peter was talking about the different options for us to stay from the 1st of July until the 23rd, and I realized we had to move! I completely forgot this (can you imagine?) and we had to move the next day on Friday the 30th.
Luckily, we don’t have that much stuff and I’m quite used to the feeling now, and actually, I think it was better for me to realize this a day before than a week before. I think I completely forgot it with the yoga-activities and making the last blog. Somehow my brain made an extra week of time in there. This is something I really want to work on. My brain takes something, a feeling or a vague statement, as true and doesn’t think twice about it. I make decisions based on this brain-true statement, normally it is not a very big thing and I realize this before I really take any action, but if I am late, it could develop in a mistake and it is really difficult to explain to someone else that my brain made a fact from nothing and I really thought I had an extra week when it is the 29th.
Peter had found some options where we could go. We agreed around a month before that he would be in charge of finding a new place to stay so I could focus on the yoga-things, and I can say, I am not disappointed! We are now on the other side of the road of Sugar Thief, where we stayed in Oktober 2022 (see the first blog) at Tala Lodge. It is a very nice, quiet and well equipped place. There is a cute little pool, and a beautiful garden we look out upon from our outside kitchen.
It is nice to have an outside kitchen in a private area, and I love the pool! I am reading a very interesting book about the race of the South Pole between the British and the Norwegian teams that took place in 1911-1912. The book is very well written, the circumstances are quite different, but it is like a movie is played in my head, and it is the ultimate holiday feeling to read and go in the water, lay beside the pool and look at the clouds.
The holiday feeling actually started Friday, when the owners welcomed us with a welcome-drink in the garden (a very kind and relaxed couple), yesterday with settling down (in the pool) at the new place, in the evening fresh made pizza with friends (it was such a nice evening!) and today, doing groceries, swimming and reading some more, and get to know the micro-dino Blau-Blau a bit better. He (or she?) is featured in the next video with an impression of our current surroundings. A short video from our short update!
