Ultimate

So I'm back playing ultimate, and it feels so good! Playing in a hall is crazy - no wind and laying out is a bit more painful. Keep remembering when horizontal in mid air that there is no grass underneath me. Impresses though when you pull it off!
I'm playing in a beginners group, so am nicely in the middle of the skill range. Maybe going to a friday night game as well which is training for a team, so could be more intense!
Best thing about a hall - no wind! You've never seen a long huk fly so straight, frikkin magic!
It's raining at the moment, and I think it's starting to stay light for longer - ooh 4 o'clock, great...
I'm off to my german class now, so aufwiedersehen und all that....

back to the craziness...

Okay, so I decided life was not busy enough, so now... I'm playing ultimate with a team in Berlin. The people seem nice, which would follow from my experience of ultimate in Cape Town. The german course is going well, although it's FLIPPIN hard! To give you and idea... this is an oberstuffe course which is basically D1 (although it's not classified as such, because the classification only goes up to c2 - by which stage you are fluent). My german training to date consists of my course in Cape Town which was... wait for it. A1.1 i.e. half of A1. I still theoretically have to do A1.2, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2. Good.

Also going to a south african stammtisch tonight (south african club meeting). So yeah, it's all happening! Despite a short bout of "what the hell am I doing with my life" I'm loving Berlin, and generally having a great time. It's got really cold and it snowed properly today (no snow storms here though!). Ice rink is also getting bussier though.

I've put some more photos up, so check them out if you get a chance (I've been meaning to put them up for ages!).

Love to all!
