Day 10

Guruji is away for 10 days down south, so I won’t have the possibility of being taught by him again until the 20th. I will use this time well to practice the work he has given me and strengthen myself for the next onslaught. While I am grateful for this space to prepare, I thought class might be a bit flat without fresh input.

Infact it was wonderful, consolidating some of the more familiar stuff and also some new work which was great. Feel like I’m wearing someone else’s pelvis now (someone younger and fitter). I was working with Gerry today and had a bit of a smile to myself that to think I have ended up in a world where Gerry gets to play good cop! A walk in the park after working with Guruji!

Arrived at the new apartment to collect keys, only to find that someone is already in the second bedroom, so poor Nicola had to go back to our old apartment, I will miss her 

The new apartment is like another world, spacious, homely, huge balcony big enough to practice outside and best of all, no more leaky twin tub washing machine. It’s in a quiet and leafy street next to the park. The lift is a bit random though – taking you to whatever floor it feels like at the time. I am now sharing with Eva from Switzerland – I must say I enjoy the opportunity of making new friends and connecting with like-minded people almost as much as the yoga.

Speaking of which I was invited over for dinner with the lovely Laura this eve and had a very pleasant evening eating and chatting. On our way to her place we stopped to buy some veg from one of the many barrows and Laura asked where the kids were. The woman running the stall pointed to underneath the barrow and we bent down to have a look, there they were curled up fast asleep inside a piece of sacking suspended from the bottom of the barrow like a hammock! So very resourceful!

Surprisingly good children’s play area in the park.
