Highland Games as teambuilding.

10/10

Would definitely reccommend.

We had so much fun yesterday. 12 colleagues divided in 2 times, cheering, laughing and having an all-round good time... in a kilt. 😆

Mmm... is it my imagination or did I do something with the brightness of my phone (entirely possible my cat stepped on something) but the BS icon looks blue-er.

Oh but wait... there's a new interaction button. There was an update then. Fascinating.

Saw this video and I'm suddenly reminded that this owl's wide-eyed look is the same as one of my cats. He even walks the same on 2 feet as my cat does on 4. 🤣
hoot hoot hooray

"Oh fuck" is how my day started. Forgot to turn on my alarm so instead of 7am 'office day' alarm, I got the 8:30am 'dopamine-intake' alarm. Too late to get to the office in time.

"Oh shit" is how my sister's day started at 9am when her therapist called asking why she wasn't at their appointment.

Close to a 13 degree (celsius) difference in temperature between home and holiday spot... brrr... 🥶

Ran around in summer clothes last week but those are not coming back this week or until next summer.

Yay me... a bit of anxiety to keep me awake for almost an hour now... and counting.

In other news, I'm on vacation and I have finally watched #KPopDemonHunters.

LOVED IT!!! 🤩

Also, #TheWildRobot and aw, loved that too. 😍🥰

LOL! I have my window open and I hear an owl hooting in the distance. Mind you, it's the first time I notice the sound.

However, the sound is also one of my ambient noises I sometimes use and I was momentarily confused cause I was quite sure I didn't turn it on. I almost checked though. 🤣

Blessed samhain! 🔥

Hupla, weer een Icebreaker merino shirt meer in de kast. 😁 Duur spul maar zo zalig om te dragen. En nu ik ontdekt heb dat het ook goed onder een wetsuit kan voor mijn kayak avonden, heb ik ineens ook nog een paar sokken besteld en een bataclava. #ASAdventure provides. Laat de koude maar komen! 🥶🥵

I want to go do something. My #ADHD brain, on the other hand, can't make up its mind so I'm basically not currently doing something. 🤦

Random thought...

While an e-reader comes in handy, I am very much in favor, prefer it actually, of reading paperback or hard copies. Much easier on the eyes.

Plus bookmarks of all shapes, sizes and make for every chapter of the books. 🤩 I looooove bookmarks.

I thought this little ol' boy to be dead because there was some battery corrosion on one of the contacts. I just cleaned it with some lemon juice, found me some new batteries, located the only 2 games I own and look... IT STILL WORKS. 🤩
Brought on by its Lego version.

My colleagues are debating where they are going to have lunch. They don't want the usual sandwiches so they are looking which fastfood restaurant is giving out the best toys this month. 🤣

Burger King has Scooby-Doo toys, Quick has One Piece merchandise, and McDonalds I didn't hear.

Someone's digging for archaeologists who can spare a bit of time to answer questions from kids.
👇
Here I am. Once again. I'm out of archaeologists.

We matched 576 groups w/archaeologists, leaving 13 groups unmatched. This brings me pain! We've never run out of scientists like this before. 598 requests for one category is A LOT. But still.

Archaeologists 🥺

Amused to infinity that my Garmin watch Move IQ fearure identifies kayaking as cycling so FYI I cycled on water for about 1 hr and 48 minutes yesterday. 🤣

Today my muscles are in pain. Tomorrow will be worse probably. 😵‍💫

Completely dead after an intense 90 minutes of kayak training. Did some technical training that did my head in. My brain was overthinking it so my turns were all chaotic and disruptive. The others in the group are already way more advanced than I am.

Also played a fun game of tag with a ball. 🛶

Hupsakee... een goed idee.

Doneren he manne! ❤️
Via de linkskes is dat zo gepiept (behalve da mijne Belfius app nie piept).
Gisteren zag ik op een beurs mensen van Kids & More, die doneren LEGO aan kinderziekenhuizen.

Ikzelf kan nog enkele weken genieten van een bedrijfskorting op LEGO.

💡 Idee
Wat als we met z'n allen geld ophalen en met die opbrengst + de extra bonus dat doneren aan die lieve mensen?

"The Boucquet residence, lady of the house speaking."

"Mind the pedestrians, Richard."

Iconic words by an iconic lady. 🤩

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge.

I loved watching Keeping up Appearances. My grandfather had a vinyl of hers, and I wouldn't have put it past him if he had a crush on her.

Fragment of an inscription dedicated to an otherwise unattested goddess (c. AD 105- 120). Set up by Coh I Tungrorum who were stationed at #Vindolanda, #Northumberland.

AHVARDVA seems to have been a water goddess known to the Belgic Tungrians.

Phone is slow.

*checks memory*

Ah yes... that explains a lot. 🤪

Anywho... how's your day going?

Kayaking in the evening, when it's dark and there are barely any streetlights covering the canal is very surreal.

Also, I apologize to all waterbirds who have to tolerate my presence. I swear I did see you there... my boat just didn't turn fast enough. 🦆

The Ancients podcast keeping my attention focused. Thank you Tristan!

Gefeliciteerd aan Arnaud De Lie.

Maar belangrijker nog, eindelijk #WoutVanAert en #VictorCampenaerts eens van heel dichtbij in actie gezien. 🤩

Autumn equinox... summer's really over this year.

Means I have to go buy me some cold weather gear for kayaking, and lights because the evenings will be dark now and I need to be seen on the water.

Did I just make a sound like a diving spitfire, spreading my arms out, pretending to be an airplane to give hints as to what the Battle of Britain was?

Why yes I did. 😁

My sister guessed correctly. The sound was the best clue. 😜
