			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hot, really hot&#8230; Thats probably the best way to describe Australia. When I arrived coach told me that the weather has been pretty poor, and it has been cold. Next morning everyone turned up for the ride with arm warmers, overshoes etc etc&#8230; it was 20odd degrees. Anyway, as per usual i burned because i refused to use suncream, that was stupid, so now am factor 30ing it up everyday, still getting some good tan. </p>
<p>so far so good with the squad too, athletes are all happy and working hard, christmas time is allowing them all some downtime, but from tuesday we&#8217;ll be back to normal.<br />
had my first paddle in 4 years today, in a surfski, it was nice to be out on the water while they where getting their open water work done. </p>
<p>right, animals. Lots of them, its like a zoo here, some highlights: A kakatoe, big old birds here, noisy too. Lizards, scared the living shit out of me&#8230; And not joking it was the size of a small dog&#8230; Green, huge tail, didnt manage to get a pic though. Black swans, when i arrived, i said it felt like i was upside down, which in my head makes sense, summer for winter, black vs white swans and a clock which was the wrong way round.. Didnt got down well when i mentioned that to the people here.</p>
<p>*last minute update* nearly crashed into a kangaroo during descent of Stromlo Mountain today&#8230; Jumped out from opposite side of the road and scrapped its tail with my frontwheel, rear wheel locked up but managed to stay upright. Forget coffee, crashing into a kangaroo will sort out your jetlag&#8230; </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve attached a few pics, in no particular order&#8230;</p>
<p>Hope everyone had a fantastic christmas and is going to have an even better new year! </p>
<p>Byebye now</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, 1 week until i&#8217;m flying to Canberra and honestly haven&#8217;t prepared anything yet&#8230;</p>
<p>I got my renewed passport back last week, which was a massive relieve, although it did take me halve an hour of chasing the postman round Teddington to get it. Anyway, tonight i thought was the right time to start packing, or chucking rather&#8230; Half of my clothing/junk/miscellaneous is now gone, and i must say it is looking much more promising from a packing point of view.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.physioandtherapy.co.uk">Physio&amp;Therapy</a> christmas party took place last week, and this was my leaving party at the same time. Good to see a good turnout of staff and clients and glad to say everyone, including myself stayed completely sober&#8230; I think.</p>
<p>Been very lucky to get a leaving present, </p>
<p><a href="http://rickvanriemsdijk.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111212-204805.jpg"><img src="http://rickvanriemsdijk.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111212-204805.jpg?w=593" alt="20111212-204805.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a><br />
Thanks to the Hobrough family, Christina, Natalie and all others for having put up with me for the last 4 years, look forward to be coming back to what I think is an amazing company and probably one of the quickest growing Physio businesses in the country, big up to whole crew!</p>
<p>Had a bit of a Dutch detour today, including pancakes at My Old Dutch</p>
<p><a href="http://rickvanriemsdijk.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111212-205124.jpg"><img src="http://rickvanriemsdijk.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111212-205124.jpg?w=593" alt="20111212-205124.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a><br />
Classic cheese pancake, with some stroop! </p>
<p>Enough chit chit chatter, off to the Dutch land tomorrow to go and see the fam, and to see New Kids: Nitro&#8230; Cant post links on here but youtube it, going to be the next big thing worldwide, Jonguuhh!</p>
<p>Hollaaa</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Just a quick post on here to let you all know this is going to be my blog for the next 9 months. I thought it might be nice for some of you to have an insight as to what ill be doing, but expect quite a lot of useless information..</p>
<p>Not quite sure if i can post pictures on here too, but for now you can always refer back to <a href="http://www.physioandtherapy.co.uk">physio&amp;therapy website</a></p>
<p>Anyway, hollaaa</p>
<p><a href="http://rickvanriemsdijk.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111209-124709.jpg"><img src="http://rickvanriemsdijk.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111209-124709.jpg?w=593" alt="20111209-124709.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>Clearly not drinking and driving obviously&#8230;</p>
