Day 27/28 – Dutch Acro Convention

Journey – Arnhem

Sorry for not writing sooner, it’s been a full on weekend of fun, friends, acro and food. Learnt so many new tricks (most I’ve forgotten 🙈), spent such good quality time with my gorgeous friends Heike and Ben – sorry for kneeing you in the face Ben 😱 your sore cheek will be a momento of the trip 😂, the food got better and we set up a coffee delivery service with Mark which kept us fueled. Markles even had a go at an acro move! 🤸

Sunday evening Heike and I went to a circus show of questionable quality but it was nice to get out. We opted for bed just before midnight rather than the parties… Getting old lol Just remembered while in a class Ben was sat between us and randomly smelt us both before turning to Heike and saying…you smell like Maria…aka you smell like dog 😂🐾 (fortunately she took it as a compliment)

Monday was more acro in the morning – some fun Vishnu pops and unusual moves which challenged us, then we helped pack up, dropped darling Heike at the train station and went into town to buy sandles and shorts. Both the boys bought shorts in the first shop within 10 minutes, and although I’d warned them I typically take hours of indecisive pondering, I got both flip flops and sandles within 30 minutes – a miracle!

We had a new lady called Rosie stay with us, so I made a big batch of food (enough for 8 despite their being 4 of us – I’m such a feeder) and had a relaxing evening. We will be of to Denmark soon en route to our next acro festival

Marks account – supposedly I have a wife, not seen much of her. She is one of the 900 over energetic people in a huge hall doing odd stuff… can usually lure her out with coffee, but have to be careful not to get roped into doing roly-poly acro moves. Dogs continue to misbehave, though Mabel has made friends with the sheep who live opposite. Jasper hasn’t and Ernest copies his big brother so they are both a pain in the arse. On the plus it’s been sunny. Maria has me signed up on the next acro festival, but I’m only going for the food.
