Learning life
Something small I forgot to tell, but for me a huge victory: I vaccinated a chicken!!
I had already asisted catching chicken and holding them while someone else vaccinated them, but this time I gave one the ´shot´ myself. It was not at all that bad as I thought, but I have not asked the chicken for her opinion. May many more follow! And I want to learn also how to vaccinate cows... and not just the easy subcuteanos, but also intramuscular and intraveneous.
And now that we talk about it:
I want to learn drive a car (finally I am convinced that it might come in use when outside of the Netherlands)
I want to learn drive a tractor well and I want to learn how to plough.
I want to learn how to milk a cow and a goat.
I want to learn much more about how to transplant vegetables, because many of the ones we transplanted the past weeks died :-(
I want to learn to work with Dutch farmers aswell.
I want to learn tsotsil, italian, french, catalan and tibetan.
I want to learn to sing all the songs of Pedro Infante (Mexican musical movies of the fifties) and so many other songs... in two voices and more or less with the right rhytm, so that I can sing together with someone else.
I want to learn how to play folk songs on the violin and play in a band.
I want to learn how it is to have what they call a ´relationship´ with someone closeby.
I want to learn how to fix the light, how to connect electricity, water and gas in a squated house.
I want to learn how to build solar cookers, how to build a wind mill, how to build a grey water system.
I want to learn dancing flamenco. I want to learn disco dancing like Pieter and Anouk.
I want to learn to not to get irritated/angry/desperate with anyone not doing things the way I feel is right.
I want to learn not to be soooo self-centred and to take care a bit more for the people around me, especially my family instead of them always taking care of me.
I want to learn patience.
I want to learn how my dad manages to take life in such an admirable tranquil way.
I guess that the day I do not want to learn anymore, is the day I´ll die.

starting with vaccinating chickens sounds a good way to learn :-)
