The circus..

Dear blog,

Not much to contribute today..
The best of this week was our schooltrip to De Haan, to visit a themepark called 'De Sierk'.
A very good place for young children! All the children from class 1 to class 3 went the whole day to the circus! The park was made as a circus, where the children could perform! We had good times! The park itself was an idea of 2 kindergartenteachers actually, so really. The children really had fun! Also on their level, of experience - of feeling and so on! It was really great, i'am taking Yasmin and Ilyes there one day too!

Whare were the good things!?
- About everything!
- Every piece of the park was created for one figure of the circus, there was the dancerswagon - the strongmansplace, the monkey cage and so on!
What did I like?
- the bikeroades through the park. There were different place you could get to take bikes, and then cross in the whole park!
- the small things you could do in de magicians wagon.. (the disapearcloset, the spider in the mirror)
- Also the little jokes to read (for the adults) there were small things, like 'stop using magic to create so much rabbits!) (on the cage with at least 20 rabbit cuddlebears..)
- the wall of the strong man: To get big muscles you had to cross a wall with different things attached to it, instead of going up, you go on the side. It always gets harder and harder!

You can say.. it was a good day! And with an kindergartenteacher's eye on it, I would recommend this park to everyong with children aged 3 to 10! Maybe combined with a trip to the beach? (De Haan's not that far from the North Sea!)

Yesterday we had a buzzy day! Went to banks, insurances company's, city Hall and so on.. to get info about loans, 'living toegether' and so on..

btw.. a very good place for renting bikes and even get nice services from small questions.. is Bike Corner in Deinze! They diserve a 10/10 for best ever service!! Good job!
More info.. for 9,50€ you can rent a bike for the day! They are quite good. (I got a Venturelli bike, Belgian craft.. --> http://www.venturelli.be/venturelli

Today,
I went bycicle riding with Mic, his friend Kristof and other friend Nico and his wife Vicky and more of Vicky's family. Startpoint Lovendegem through the green places of Hansbeke, Landegem, Bellem and Merendree. A couple of times we got to stop and had a wee break with something to drink and to eat. (for examples, the first stop was - strawberry and strawberrybeer, the next pancakes and coffee and so on! It was more of a eat, drink and ride tour.. It's the fourt time we're doing the tour. It was good, nice, beautifull things to see. The tour btw is never the same. It changes every year..
Sometimes I got really hard! It was about 30 km's long, and i'm not really used to it to bike that far! On the endpoint (the same as start point there was a smal carnival, where the boys got on the bumpercars.. I hurt my finger really hard! Those boys.. so like small children :p

Gili Tonight!

Tonight.. Gili.

I had tickets to attend his show this evening.. I went with mum. And what an evening! Very impressive kind of stuff.. Really, sometimes mindblowing and very entertaining to see.. lots of light, nice music, and lots of humor.. Mr Gili (real name Lieven Gheysen from Wiki: 'A flemish comedien, illusionist and mentalist presented his show from his tour: 'Everyone Paranormal'.. (Iedereen paranormaal)

The crowd was very enthousiastic, sow was I! I actually thought there would be more 'magicky stuff'.. like the rabbit in a magic hat.. the theme of the evening was more like.. everything can be prodicted! So he 'played' the telepath, asked numbers, drawings, even woke up the dead! (kind of spooky there.. but there was a perfect fit.. everything was perfect.. Well.. I don't want to tell everything.. so you have to see for yourself! Or.. buy his book or Dvd to enjoy the show again!

Headaches and meetings..

Dear Blog..
Today on school.. what's new.. teammeetings with collegues and principals.. very exhausting and I got hold of a very nasty headache..

Most of the meetings really make me sad and depressed. It always shows me how different and extremely hard the 'education' world is in Belgium.. and that i'm failing to follow this paper - work - time - absorbing thing we call Education..*Sigh*

Only one month ago we heared our Princepal is quitting his job.. Made me sad again, cos that's the principal who called me 2 years ago.. the first school ever that called me for a job.. since then I was really frequently called for small jobs at Zwijnaarde.. the last one lasting from December till the 3oth of June.. wow..

It will be very different next year.. Has - to - send - CV's - right away!!!

*Sigh again*

Afterwards some of the collegues asked me out for a drink :) that's cool.. we went to a very nice place not too far from school :) The place is called 'The Black Bottle'.. (De zwarte fles) http://www.zwartefles.be/
