Winter's approaching

Hey guys,

the last tourney for this season is over and again we came in second ... I guess it is just a curse or something but nevertheless it was enough for me to become the NBVA Champion in the mens division and Kenno came in second. The tourney itself was quite nice and the weather was brilliant. The season end party was even better and I actually won a bottle of champagne, a volleyball and a cheque ... so all in all a really good weekend.

We've gonna train on and see what the winter brings ... it's definitely cooling down here now and I most likely will soon start thinking about buying one of those heaters to get my apartment warm. Anyway, I gotta hit the sack ... tomorrow at 6am training at the beach, then working from home and training/coaching the girls in the evening ... gonna be a fun volley/work day.

Hope y'all are doing fine ... catch ya later,

Mike

Ps: New pics on Flickr and a party video on YouTube!!

Work, Volley and Parties ...

Hey people,

what's up - haven't heard from some of you guys in ages. I've been pretty busy with work during the week and I am always so happy for every single weekend where I can go out to the beach and have a good hit with the guys. We are having a pretty good competition the last couple of weekends and it is good good fun to play with Andy, Paul, Jules, Martine, Howard and Pip ... you guys rock.

Unfortunately there were a couple of birthday parties in Germany that I missed - pretty sad about it, but i can't help it - I was thinking of you guys over there. In Manly we had the 30 BD party for Martin yesterday which was pretty awesome, here are some videos for once and no pics as of yet:
Happy Birthday, Song 1, Song 2, Song 3 and Song 4

Enjoy guys :p

Next weekend will be big as well - It's Anzac Day on Friday - meaning it's a National Holiday and we have the day of. On Saturday is the last and final NBVA tourney for this season and with this it will decide if I actually won the NBVA championship as an individual or not - we'll see :) in any way there will be the end of season party after the tourney and that's gonna be rocking.

So, I hope you guys are all good. Take care y'all,

Mike

First guests in OZ

Heya,

again - a while passed by - but honestly not to much happened until three weeks ago ;) I got my first guests from overseas here in beautiful Manly. It was a crazy good time with the guys from the US - guys u'll always rock. Finally Andrea also passed by to check out the lil phantasy world on the other side of the globe - and all signs indicate that she'll like it - hehe, who would not like Manly anyway. I was a brilliant time and we've check out Taronga Zoo, the Sydney Tower, the Manly Scenic Walk, the Bondi to Coogee walk, North Head at night and many more things. Lots of fun, lots of people and lots of good times ... check out the pics to get a lil idea about all the stuff going on.

We've also went snorkeling with Andy and it was awesooooome. Very nice, especially around the Shelly beach area ...

Righty right, lemme know what's happenin on the other side of the world. Cheers,

Mike
