As a Dutch person learning English I have started this blog to help me out to improve my use of English. It's still difficult for me to find the right words to express what I want to tell. I hope the readers will let me know when I made mistakes.Of course I would appreciate it also to hear if there is something well written.

How to get things done
That's something I have been struggling about for the whole week. It start on Saturday when I had my fourth practice day from my C&C (Coaching and Counselling) course. If I really want to finish this in December I have to make more time available to study and practise. Further there is the Ladies run on June 10. I don't know how you are doing and I hope it's much better then what I have done until now because that's nothing at all. One thing is sure I have to change my time schedule. The question is how to do this. Maybe you have a solution for me tomorrow:-) In the short term I have a day of this week on Friday and Jan Cees is away from Friday until Sunday so these are my first 2 days to use for my study without any disturbance. On the other hand, Jan Cees is away with his motorbike and 4 friends, and I'm always scared when he's driving that terrible fast machine. The last time they went away, 3 years ago, one of them had a very bad accident. I keep my fingers crossed as long as he's gone:-)

Back to business….
It has been four days
ago since we came back from our holiday in Spain.It is not that easy to get back into a
usual daily routine. Let me begin with telling you that we had a
great time. Unfortunately with not that good weather. There were too many
clouds, and too litle sunshine. Further a
temperature between 18 and 21 degrees and showers now and then. Not what we
hoped for, especially as I tell you that it’s now almost 30 degrees there with
a lot of sun and no clouds. That’s the
only thing which could have been better. For the rest we had a marvelous time there. The
landscape was very beautiful, with a lot of different green colors. The Spanish
people were very nice but hard to understand. No one speaks a little English,
except in the bigger cities like Sevilla. We saw a lot of white villages.
We drove to Gibraltar, so I did speak a bit of English during the holiday. I even finished my book in English, The girl
who kicked the hornets’ nest, written by Stieg Larsson. Part three of the
Millenium series. With a bit of luck you
will tell me on Wednesday that I have made some improvement. By the way, Cheryl did
pass her English exam.
I have posted a few of the 1200 pictures online at facebook, if you're interested:
