Jolly Good

My physics teacher, ms. Roberts says it all the time: ‘Jolly good’. Dutchies, say it out loud and you will think what I thought when I first heard it: soooooooooooo English!!!

Last week went way too quickly (AGAIN). 5 days of school, 9 to 4 and BAM!, week 3 is over…. HOW? Despite the continually activated fast-forward mode, last week was absolutely jolly good!

Second week A of exchange was nothing new concerning school; lots of lessons, lots of free periods, lots of fun, lots of Dutch homework and only a little English homework.

Tuesday I had hockey training again with the Ladies 4s, together with Manon and quite a couple of other girls from LOGS. After training, I was asked to play for the Ladies 2s following weekend (maybe as Finch again?!).

Thursday evening, I joined Claire in her life drawing class. I did warn her that my drawing is pretty bad and that I don’t even have art at school anymore, but after the first two sketches (out of five), I got the rhythm and honestly, the last three drawings weren’t even that bad!! :D

Friday night, Harvey and Geoff left for Harvey’s England practice on Saturday a couple of hours away. Claire and I were both very tired so we watched some telly and went to bed pretty early to catch up with some sleep. Saturday morning, we woke up around 7 (yes, on a Saturday morning). We went to the cafe where we set up some things for the day and had a very nice English breakfast. Around 10.15, I was picked up by Innei from the Ladies 2s to go to the club where we met some other team members and then we went on to Southampton. It was already quite warm, but literally the moment we entered the pitch the sun came through and it was HOT (17^oC…… 0:-) ) Let’s not talk about the match too much and try to believe that the ‘incredible heat’ was the reason for our terrible performance that day……. We lost with 6-1……..      (1.5h to Southampton, lose 6-1, 1.5h back from Southampton) à USELESSSSSS -_-

After Innei dropped me off at the café and Claire was ready, she took me to the 7 sisters (photo’s will follow soon!). We walked around a bit until it started to get really dark. We drove to Glynde to see Glyndebourne theatre, but before we even got there, Claire suggested seeing if her friend Stephanie and her son Russell were home to have dinner all together. We went to their house where we had a nice cup of tea before we walked down the road to have some quick supper at English pub, Trevor Arms.

Sunday was an easy day at the club. Men 2s, a very important semi-final match for something (how clear can I be for something so easy, sorry J) and Men 1s, also a very important match because if they won that match, they still would’ve had a chance to get promoted, without lots of details, the 2s won, the 1s lost.

Ps. this was week 3, not last week!! J (Hopefully) Week 4 will follow soon!
