The days are getting shorter and the temperature is slowly but surely dropping. The St. Nicholas party has yet to begin but Skyradio has already started playing Christmas records every hour. As soon as I get home the radio goes on and normally the station is on Skyradio because I can't stand the endless chatter of so-called funny disc jockeys, with or without sidekicks. However, the whole day with Christmas songs coming out of the speaker gets boring fast, so in December I put something else on my radio.
Every season has its charms for me, during the winter time I like to enjoy a whiskey, so last Sunday evening.
Jerry called me to ask if I would like to have a bite to eat on Sunday, Marco was unfortunately unable to attend so together we headed for Hollandse Rading to Moeke Spijkstra for a bite.
We drove into the parking lot and found that it was busy for a Sunday evening.
Fortunately there was still a table free and a little later we enjoyed a delicious meal.
Of course with a nice glass of wine with it, the conversation at the table was as usual about the ins and outs of our Dojo.
Some time later Jerry dropped me off at home and I entered my apartment feeling satisfied.
I cherish these spontaneous outings and plopping down on the couch I poured a glass of whiskey to enjoy this evening some more.
My choice was a Japanese whiskey that still contained a few drams.
While pouring I smelled a wonderful aroma and my thoughts went back to the time when I had acquired this bottle.
Since I have quite a few connections in the whisky world, I got a tip years ago that this bottle was offered for a bargain price so I went to Alphen aan de Rijn and bought this delicious whisky. If I had left this bottle unopened I would have been able to get 20 times the price if it were still available, but I open almost every bottle, including this one.
The rest of the wonderful evening went by sipping and smelling ?

PIETENFEEST
This Saturday I will not be able to be found behind the bar because of the Pietenfeest at Dance Dance Dance. It is my intention to capture this event on film hence my absence;.
Just like Burning Heart there are numerous actions at our dance department and this time a real Pietenfeest is held for our little dancers.
Last Saturday afternoon Sinterklaas was grandly welcomed Te Kortenhoef and our girls added lustre to the festivities with a dazzling performance at shopping center the Meenthof.

BEASTSIDE
Last Friday night's Beastside can be called a success.
It was pleasantly crowded, especially in the octagon where Identify Tattooing with Tim and Douglas displayed their skills through various tattoos.
In addition, several people enjoyed a wonderful massage given by Sandra Souisa, a well-known masseuse from our village.
All this under the guidance of disc jockey Goos Baars.
Would you like to see the images again: Take a look.

NEW WEBSITE
Almost silently, our new website was launched last Saturday.
We are still in an experimental phase considering there are quite a few start-up bugs in it.
These bugs, among others the class hours on the new site took an hour and a half instead of one hour. This error has since been fixed.
Especially the homepage is in my eyes beautiful, it shows the movie of gebr. Heyl which was made a while back at our dojo.
Also the schedule has become a lot clearer, as for the accompanying pictures, we are not really satisfied with them, but they are also adjusted where necessary.
Also, no rates are shown yet but this is also being worked on.
We expect that in the near future the website will look like we have in mind.

CROSSFIGHT SPACE
You may have noticed, the crossfight area has changed a bit.
Some punching bags have been removed and in their place is a sort of track. All this to make it a little more organized.
There are also plans to take down the "Karma is a Bitch" wall so that the 480 trainer area will be added to the gym to create more space.
The equipment that is there now will move to the Crossfight area.
However, the glass wall will remain to still maintain 2 different spaces.
This is currently under consideration and planned for the end of the year.

PROTECTION
For the past few days, Daphne's Volkswagen Up has undergone a transformation. Her car is now driving around with a fresh decoration by Dance3.
Personally, I think the metamorphosis is particularly successful!

Until my next blog.
