For this week’s weekend walk we went to Brambridge, which is on the Itchen between Twyford and Eastleigh. We parked at the garden centre and were surprised and delighted to see about twenty birds of prey sat on their little … Continue reading

I have submitted to YouTube Counter-notification submissions for all three contested videos. Not because I am really contesting the copyright but because I want my account back. Not because I really want the account but because YouTube is the only … Continue reading

110224 Denied
My YouTube account has been suspended, perhaps terminated, cancelled, kaput. They have a ‘three strikes and you’re out’ system of dealing with copyright infringement. I had two strikes, one for uploading the opening credits to Mon Oncle, the other for … Continue reading
110223 Deadhead
I feel the best I’ve felt for over a week. The dizziness is subsiding and I’m way more centred, stronger. Thanks for all the well wishes. I went over to Alresford where C gave me an acupuncture treatment, clearing out … Continue reading

I’m feeling highly unusual. Spinning out a bit. It comes and goes. I can work, I can type, I can function, but I can’t focus too much, too long. A bit vague, some dizziness, some nausea. I don’t know what’s … Continue reading

Still feeling crappy. Major headache and weak, not wanting or really able to do anything very much. Spent the day in bed again, lots of sleeping and some Hackintosh research. Watched Dr Who this evening, the first full episode I … Continue reading

I’ve been resting in bed again most of the day. Still feeling weak. I seem to get this every few months. I don’t go down as hard as I used to with dizziness and aches, but that same sick feeling … Continue reading
100215 Feeling the fear and doing it anyway
It’s all caught up with me today, almost exhausted after the moving, decorating, the underlying emotions of C moving, the work on the flat here and this evening, the yoga teaching. I didn’t have much ooomph for the class but … Continue reading

110214 Domesticity
Finally got everything put away in its right place. The bedroom is now a study as well: The kneeling chair is C’s but she’s not using it so I get to have it for my desk. And the living room: … Continue reading
110213 Eye Exercises
Roland gave an eye health workshop at the school this evening. First we learnt about the main bones that make up the eye sockets and practised some simple exercises to ease this area. Then we leant about the multiple muscles … Continue reading

110212 Durford Walk
I really enjoyed this TED video of Benjamin Zander that my friend Seppo put me on to. Zander’s measure of success is not wealth or fame but how many shining eyes there are around him. He speaks with real passion … Continue reading

110211 Tibetan Singing Bowls
Awake in the night again last night. Listened to perhaps the most profound music I have ever heard. Profound in its effect on my body. The music was by Danny Becher, using Tibetan Singing Bowls. It began at root of … Continue reading

110210 A sense of space
Addressing a problem without taking sides was the theme of tonight’s staff dialogue. Is there another way to look at things? It has to involve looking anew, listening, a new action other than a reaction or defence. And there’s me … Continue reading

Was I the only one last night who had a hip hop session on the iPod in the middle of the night, followed by listening to a Pema Chödrön talk? I suspect so. The beginning of a series of talks … Continue reading

First night in C’s new home. I went over after teaching yoga. I was exhausted from the moving, decorating and the emotional upheaval but got through the class OK. People really liked it. There was a tangible quiet as we … Continue reading

110207 Stuff
Total domestic day, buying stuff we used to share – pillows, towels, a table to use as a desk, duvet cover, sheets, rug, a set of drawers to keep my papers organised. Retail overload; that’s enough shopping for the year, … Continue reading

110206 The Move
I now live alone. Except when I don’t, like now when C is here for the evening and night. She’s all moved in to the Alresford place and it looks very cosy in her new room, with her desk, the … Continue reading

Painting C’s new room in Alresford this afternoon and evening. Pure Brilliant White. It’s looking good and tomorrow we can move some furniture. We got our hopes up a little when the landlady had a new carpet rolled in the … Continue reading

110204 Retro Materialistic Delights
Another trip to the dentist, this time for the hygienist. What is it with Alresford Dental Care? Even the hygienist was happy and into her job. I was flossed, brushed, scraped and varnished into shape, and motherlyly told off for … Continue reading
