\"2013-09-06<\/a>- Was I alive today?
\n<\/strong>Yes!<\/p>\n

- What new things have I discovered about life?<\/strong>
\nPerhaps there isn\u2019t all that much that\u2019s really new or surprising\u2026 It\u2019s a wonderful feeling when a stage of work is finished\u2026 and how wonderfully relieving and marvellous it is when a friend gives you a skilful massage afterwards to relieve your legs of the strain they\u2019ve been under.<\/p>\n

And I learnt a new trick from an experienced shipbuilder. If there\u2019s water in a hard-to-reach corner and you\u2019re not in a hurry, just hang a piece of kitchen roll in there. It soaks up all the water \u2013 and the water evaporates. That way, you can get the corner dry.<\/p>\n

- What new things have I discovered about myself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today I was working on board and, together with a fit chap, hauled about 700 kilos of ballast stones from the ship to the shore, 30 metres away. That was quite a feat. But it was a wonderful feeling to have finished and not be able to do anything else (because the sandblaster was on board at the time and we couldn\u2019t carry out any further work inside the ship). It was simply lovely to sit on deck for a few minutes after work.<\/p>\n

What surprised me was just how many questions he asked me. We didn\u2019t know each other yet \u2013 he\u2019s a friend\u2019s flatmate \u2013 and he asked me all sorts of things. I was really taken aback. Normally, I\u2019m the one who asks the questions \u2013 in coaching, but also in a private context. People rarely ask me questions. Perhaps because they think they already know a lot about me. Or perhaps because they don\u2019t want to be intrusive. Being asked so many questions myself and sensing genuine interest really touched me deeply.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
