Strange week last week
Do you ever feel that sometimes your just going around in circles?
Last week was a bit of a strange one for me, it seemed as I didn't achieved a great deal, also I've felt like I haven't been too active here at WA, suppose that's what happens from time to time. I'm not sure why I was feeling that way, my motivation is still there, may have been a little drained, and a bit of writers block (not that I call myself a writer.... 😉).
I did finally find time to finish Course 1 of the Boot Camp and I was able to add 1 new post to my website. Anyway it is the start of a new week, and an exciting one at that.
Exciting week this week
I can feel this one is going to be a better week, so far I have 3 posts that I have started creating, basically got the bones of the post set just need to add the flesh so to speak... My mini goal this week is to publish all 3 posts as well as create ideas for new ones.
Tomorrow things will take a different direction, my eldest daughter & I will fly west to the other side of the country for her very first International Competition even though we are still in AUS. It is the Commonwealth Festival for Synchronised Swimming, teams from England, South Africa, Malaysia, New Zealand, Australia and a few others that I can't remember will be there over the 5 days.
Not only is this a fantastic opportunity for a 12 yr old to experience, but great life skills too, competing against different countries, meeting people from around the world all wanting to achieve their best at what they do.
The added bonus of all will be my son & daughter inlaw will get their first chance to see their little sister compete in her routines. It has been a while since we have seen my so, so it's going to be great to have a catchup.
Anyway here's looking towards an exciting week on all aspect, I hope you have great week lined up ahead of you too.

There is a very SIMPLE reason (two words) why everyone was experiencing "production" problems last week...FULL MOON!! LOL!!
Let us know how the competition goes. Best wishes for a safe, and successful, trip!
WOW Vince, I never thought of that, it does make sense though, I will let everyone know how it all goes.
Thanks Vince.
That is so very exciting, Paul! Congratulations to your daughter! My boys are both in competitive sports and it is so rewarding to watch them compete in what they love! Wishing her well in her competitions!
You can add another to the list from the US...seemed everything I tried to accomplish last week was met with a roadblock!
Cheers to a new week ahead of us!
Thanks Emily, I hope your boys are doing well in their sport, unfortunately in Australia, Synchronised Swimming doesn't pull large amount of spectators, but we are trying to change this, it truly is incredible to watch the routines - ballet or dance in the water.
I think VinceR may have nailed why it was a strange week last week with the full moon.

I would LOVE to watch synchronised swimming! I love watching old movies for the dancing and singing and oftentimes, synchronized swimming too.
Hey Paul,Thats a great thrill for your daughter to represent OZ, she can follow her dreams and have a ball , best of luck mate and WA can wait enjoy your kids... a proud dad I reckon...cheers john
Thanks John, yes it is a great honor for her, her and her duet partner has trained 6 out of the last 7 days, 2&1/2 to 4 hours each session. Their dedication is true inspiration for young girls, but when you see their finish routine it is simply stunning.
Cheers
Sounds like you are going to have a great time. You may even get some more motivation out of you time.
Thanks Ron, I hope so, I have a day to myself before the comp starts so I am going to have a look around Margret River area.
Cheers
