I love the lighting when the clouds are so dark and houses and bushes shine so bright in front and all.... never been to Scotland only Ireland, but I could imagine it being similar in some ways landscape wise?? We had a mood like that here too the other day and I love walking on days like that. Could drink it in it's so vibrant and contrasty and fresh Didn't know you had a pony along with all the rats, wow. You must have a lot of pet care to do! The rehearsal video is BEAUTIFUL!!! Yes, they should rather put you in center, why don't they?!?! But in parts the two of you were nicely synchronized. Love how solid and smooth all your moves look and then with that clockwork effect on top wow The one balancing on the neck looks super scary. And there are a few ones in between I can do too, yay Keep rocking, just rest for now... I caught up so nicely on your flight numbers It is SO green here just now, it's lovely! Scotland and Ireland are pretty similar, though obviously Scotland is nicer (not that I'm biased ) The pony lives with my parents so I am incredibly lucky and get all the fun with not so much of the work. Though it does mean I only get to see her on weekends :'( Aww thank you! I think it's partly because me and the other girl in the video look similar, whereas the third (least experienced) looks quite different so it balances better this way. The shoulder stand is way less scary than on a trapeze I have to admit! It's a weird mix between beginners moves and the teacher going "eh we'll throw this in and hope for the best" Hahahaha sorryyy.... I somehow forgot to add the numbers from one of my sessions in. I'd been thinking it seemed low this week and redid the maths... No rehearsal next Friday though so my numbers will definitely be down in week three! 1 Quote Fiona - Assassin Horses ~ Circus ~ Rats ~ Genetics Four week challenges: 1 2 3 (Failed) 4 5 Current challenge: Here Link to comment
lucky fire dragon Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 that is an awesome arrangement with the pony, great parents are worth more than gold! yes, it does look like a mix of difficulties, but probably only to me as I have dabbled a bit with the beginner moves. Someone who was never on a hoop probably won't notice the difference so much but go ooooh and aaaaah as is I was wondering about your times on the mini, just didn't dare ask as I wanted to let sleeping dragons lie yet it was slightly worrying me if you're okay... torn feelings these minis give us Good to know, I'll give it my everything this week then, yay. You know it was great because as it was, I thought that I can catch up and otherwise might have not even tried. This way I tried some spinning pole moves, but got so nauseous at a point that I couldn't do another minute... which was the reason for the brief tie. I would have so loved to get on that leaderboard, but any more spin I tried or even static moves, my tummy said no-oh Will do spinning in shorter units, me thinks. When is your actual show again? As you say your progress is HUGE, so with a bit more time it'll be absolutely spectacular!!

I always find as well that the moves that are most impressive to muggles aren't necessarily the hardest moves (like muggles get super excited about the splits, circus people go "eh, who can't do them" XD) Hahaha sorry! Glad it gave you a boost though! I'm putting in a lot of hours because of rehearsals but I'm not training full time or anything. Definitely beatable! Ugh spinning. I accidentally went too fast last night and really thought I was going to spew... Not till the beginning of August, so loads of time for us all to be awesome 1 Quote Fiona - Assassin Horses ~ Circus ~ Rats ~ Genetics Four week challenges: 1 2 3 (Failed) 4 5 Current challenge: Here Link to comment
Finisterre Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Week 3 Sunday Sunday was a better day! I stupidly didn't take my meds on Saturday night so didn't sleep At All (I gave up once it got to 9am on Sunday morning) so was pretty exhausted but aside from that... Had a lovely ride on Willow, without the massive rain shower in the middle of it. Then the evening was rehearsal, an intense cardio circuit first off, followed by running the hula hoop act then almost two hours on an aerial hoop. Working a scene where I'm interacting a lot with a ground person and have finally got some choreo set for that. Also produced this excellent blooper... I'm totally making a blooper reel for the end of this ^-^ Eating wise I was actually pretty good. I did stop for fast food on the way home after rehearsal (mainly to try and stay awake for the drive...), but stayed pretty much within my calorie goals so that's good. Monday I had considered going for a run today, but I was aching from last night so decided to have a complete rest day. I'm now thinking - Sunday rehearsal, Monday full rest, Tuesday aerial, Wednesday run, Thursday run, Friday rehearsal, Saturday active rest (riding), with the option to add runs in of course. I ate loads, but tbh I'm ok with it. It wasn't binging, just having more than I needed. I did spend a fair amount of time sat on the balcony with a book, and a punnet of cherries which was really quite lovely. I also got my first delivery from Hello Fresh - I got a voucher via Amazon to get £20 off each of my first two boxes, so it works out as £19 a week for six meals. I've never been one for cooking, but I'm quite looking forward to trying this out and seeing what happens And finally a picture spam of Things What I've Been Doing featuring baby rats and ponies My nuisance circus babies <3 (that barrier is waist height...) 1 Quote Fiona - Assassin Horses ~ Circus ~ Rats ~ Genetics Four week challenges: 1 2 3 (Failed) 4 5 Current challenge: Here Link to comment
