Thursday, June 02, 2011. Well today was our first official day as workawayers at the squash club, and it couldn't have been too much different from at Aufbrekka! She fed us lunch, too, which was a cold soup that I can't say I really enjoyed- beets, radishes, pickled stuff, and lots of dill in a milky base. Other than the milk, I'm not really a fan of any of those things. I'm hoping to play with the host-dad soon, he can teach me a lot, I'm sure! Hot dogs (they sure are popular over here! Yesterday mornin...

Friday, April 01, 2011. So there's a month to go, supposedly, and of course I'm nervous because I always am about leaving Victoria, which seems so incredibly small and constricting and like the perfect place to leave until a month before I do just that and decide I love the place dearly.

Wednesday, June 01, 2011. So I just realized that very frustratingly between my computer and my blog, it looks like I may have lost all of the blog entries I wrote on the last ferry, a total of 4 days L. If I can’t find them, I’ll try and find time to summarise them at some point—the Faeroes, especially, were lovely! I did love Stockholm, though we only had 24 hours there, it was a city I could see spending some time there, though perhaps not without a full time job as a banker, or something! Nothing was...

Friday, June 10, 2011. Yesterday morning I got up to work and then when Zane arrived we started doing the dirt moving and digging again. There wasn't sooo much left to be done, but it was still hot, hard work. We had to get it finished though, as the guy who is doing the tilling is meant to be coming by today, so we were trying to get it ready for that. Slamming my head into multiple low pieces of wood definitely made me want to go back to sleep pretty quick yesterday! After we'd finished chopping things...

Thursday, January 27, 2011. Vaulting. January 26. Walker was really good! Stood twice at canter, without the lead rope. Felt pretty controlled and Walker was a star. Decided to do shoulder stands at canter next week, with Danno on the back to help support me. Definitely nervous to try them, but I know I need to get it over with and it will be less scary with time, like everything. So I start circus school next week. I can't wait! It's through Vancouver Circus School. Time to go upside down. Vaulting....

Friday, February 04, 2011. The day finally came :) I think my body wishes it hadn't, but it was great! I ended up being the only student in both my classes, and had a great time in both. So far I like hoop/trapeeze a little bit more, but silks was fun too. Hard! They both are. Lots of upper body strength, but that will come pretty quickly. As will the man hands. I have two rips already- very 1994! I don't remember all of what we did, but here's a relatively complete selection. Can't wait until next week!

Sunday, June 05, 2011. Today was long, but fun! We were, as instructed, ready to go by 9 am (for me after a couple of hours of work), but our ride (host mum and youngest kid) didn't turn up until 10:20 so we waited for them outside and did gymnastics and chatted with friends back home on ping (best iOS app ever! When Zane and Mix finally showed up, we went to get her sister from next door, and then drove about half an hour away to an absolutely massive outdoor living museum. There were some gorgeous arts...

Wednesday, June 08, 2011. Anyway.after Zane left to do.something? At about 3, we got sprung from our babysitting duties to go into town- Zane and Andis also host a lot of couch surfers, and there was a girl from Thailand, Tukta, who arrived yesterday and is spending two nights with them, so Zane thought we could spend some time showing her around what we have seen already and hanging out with her. After our two km walk home from the stop, with a gorgeous sunset keeping us company, we just watched a Frien...
