Game of Thrones, whiskey and Dojo?

What a lovely weather it has been this past week, too bad it is a little less at the moment but at least spring has started well. Jerry and mates also took advantage of the nice weather, he spent last weekend in Ireland where he visited the gym of Conor McGregor, a hero of his. Also on the program was the Games of Thrones route, a well-known series shot in Ireland. In addition, a visit to the Teeling distillery where a bottle of whiskey was purchased for me. In short, a trip not soon to be forgotten.
My computer is going through some problems at the moment, it regularly shuts itself down which is very annoying because I then lose what I am doing.
We found out that it has to do with a major update of Windows which I cannot install. With the help of a friend who is knowledgeable on the subject I have tried everything but it still won't work. I am waiting for Windows to fix this problem because I am not the only one experiencing this problem. With great regularity I save everything in between so that not too much is lost, do not get a notification when the computer is going to shut down.
This was the introduction, time to move on to the ins and outs of our dojo this week.

Libra

As of this week, the gym has an old-fashioned upright scale to weigh your weight. Came across this scale as a kid at my former pharmacy and was always drawn to it. The electronic scales that we bought with great regularity were unfortunately not long-lived, now we hope that this old-fashioned scale will last longer.If you still want to weigh yourself on an electronic scale, you can do so when you report to the counter, in the office there is an extensive scale with fat measurement, etc.This scale must remain in the office because of the fact that it is full of electronics and quite a hefty purchase price, so no scale to lug around!

Wood in fitness

One of these days we will start to wallpaper the red walls in the gym with wooden parts.This is because with great regularity weights are against the wall resulting in dirty streaks on our red walls. Despite many requests to hang the weights in the places they are intended for, it happens daily that the discs are thrown against the wall resulting in unremovable streaks. By applying wood to the walls we hope to overcome this.

Idea box in the hall

Once again this week emptied the bus where people can put their comments and remarks about the dojo. Must say that it is used quite a bit.
What I did notice were comments about the cleaning of our rooms, one person was of the opinion that it did not look very clean while another bill said that this person noticed that the rooms were always clean. Just goes to show that everyone has a different opinion. I can say that we have two cleaners working full-time, each with their own department for which they are responsible.

Towel use

Know I always cite it to the use of a towel in our gym. Unfortunately, every time I glance at the cameras next to my computer, I notice that there are still many people who do not feel it necessary to use a towel. Of the eight people currently at the dojo, there is as much as one person using a towel. Shouldn't be possible! So people when you go to the dojo please bring a towel, it is so hygienic.

Saturday training sessions

Bag and fitness training on Saturday mornings in particular is enjoying growing interest by the week. Last Saturday, vacation time, fine weather, the room was quite filled with athletes looking to indulge themselves for an hour under Noëll's guidance. In addition, Twan's next lesson, technique, was also particularly well filled. A particularly nice observation that fills me with joy. What is also nice is that after Noëll's class ends, an ever larger group sticks around to enjoy a latte.
In addition to all this, sensei Taling's judo classes have been growing for weeks in a row.
