HI folks

Filed under: culcha, friends and family — lizardyoga @ 3:01 pm

Back again for the weekend, and feeling much more positive about everything.  I have a real sense of it being possible to be published now.  I have some poems which I am feeling very good about.  The novel is still at the planning stage – I am getting to know the characters.  It seems important to know everything about them even if it doesn’t go in the novel.  The action takes place in the 1960’s until 79 when Thatcher came in, then goes back to the war, then forward to the 90’s and finishes in the year 2000.

Watch this space!

Back again for a couple days

Filed under: Uncategorized — lizardyoga @ 7:32 pm

- as our Ameican cousins say.  Great teacher training day today.  We talked about karma and karma yoga.  Great comment from Peter on Bob when he was working at Victoria Coach Station – chack it out.  The novel is progressing and I am writing some songs.  Hope everyone is well.

See you all soon

Back again

Filed under: Uncategorized — lizardyoga @ 7:45 pm

Had a good weekend at DCT (yoga) weekend.  The guest speaker was Mukunda Stiles, a (very) soft- spoken American who has written books on yoga posture and philosophy.  He was very good.

Back home I’m getting ready for teacher training on Sunday and preparing to go back to the chalet and work more on the novel tomorrow

See you all soon

I ought to mention Claire’s friend Anna, who put me up and fed me in spite of being ill with the flu.  She has a great house on five floors – tall and narrow, almost like a house in Amsterdam.  Outside the back door there is an overhead trellis with a vine.  At the bottom of the garden runs the railway.

Thanks Anna!

this morning I said to Daniel – you’re taking a long time drinking that Sergeant Pepper’s!

Still some places left on the minibus – give us a ring if you want to come

Ugh and double ugh!

Not well at all – slept the whole day yesterday, a bit better today but still won’t do much.  Mark took my blood pressure this morning – 120/50 – very low.  He is going to do me some medicine.  Glad I got in all that training when I did.  Hopefully I’ll be ok for the 5th.

Missed the whole of Mark’s birthday but he doesn’t like birthdays anyway.  Much to my chagrin – I think birthdays are important.  So instead of going out they had takeaway pizza.

I feel as if I’ve lost 24 hrs of my life.  But I guess I’m not often ill, so when I am it feels strange to me.  I’m lucky in that way.  Have a tendency when I’m ill to feel abandoned and very sorry for myself.  Also some weird nightmarish experiences which I can’t define but which could be to do with hospitalisation when I was 3.

Not heard from Mary and John – I guess they arrived OK.

Kirk out.

Oak Field Update

Filed under: Uncategorized — lizardyoga @ 7:35 am

Oak Field being the name of our chalet.  I have now decorated the kitchen (green with leaf stencils) and the sitting room (paler green with clouds on the ceiling, grass and flowers on the walls).  Looks good.

I will be having a party on June 13th for my birthday.  Invitations will be sent out soon

PS No I won’t.  We are going to see Bach instead.  Actually, not Bach himself, but the Bach choir.

Developments have developed..

Wow!  I have been busy – last time I blogged was about a fortnight ago.  I have been up at the chalet and am about to go again.  Going to do some decorating and writing.  Stories are coming on well and I’m going to send off a couple more.  Last Tuesday, went to Word with Steve and friend Kirty, did my poem about the modernists.  Went down well.  My ambition now is to become one of those booked acts who are the star rather than one who does open mic slots.

I’m waiting for a taxi to take me to the woods.  Yesterday we – no, wait, yesterday was Bank Holiday and we went to see “Knowing” which I liked.  I thought it devoid of cliche which, considering it is a blend of disaster and sci-fi, is saying something.  Nicholas Cage is someone I usually like watching.

On Sunday we went to Holy Trinity Church (first time for me) and we may be going regularly.

I am now waiting for my taxi to the woods.

See you when I get back

Liz
