my yoga journey
In England our lockdown rules change again on Monday as part of the easing of restrictions. We will be allowed to socialise indoors and hospitality venues can offer indoor service. Hugging will be also officially permitted, with some advice on frequency and contact time š Itās actually coincidental that Iām visiting my parents this week,... Continue Reading →
Hubby and I got our first vaccine two days ago. Astra Zeneca, our least preferred option, but itās not a time to act all choosy and I am truly grateful for this. But the 48 hours following were not physically pleasant. Alternating sweats and chills, dizziness and nausea, depleted energy levels, brain fog, muscle and... Continue Reading →
In UK weāve been in one sort of lockdown or another for a year now. We have our famous āroadmapā out, but itās early days. This anniversary, such as it is, prompts retrospection and Iāve had conversations with many others as we look behind us and see how far weāve come even while we are... Continue Reading →
In UK news the prime minister just announced the measures to ease us out of lockdown. My personal opinion is that the ābig bangā return to schools of all age groups simultaneously is misguided and likely to lead to an increase in the R number with who knows what consequences... But at least friends and... Continue Reading →
Someone asked me recently if I had been writing during lockdown, for myself at least even if not for sharing. The answerās pretty much a no, though Iāve thought about it often, and rather wish I had captured the fluctuating tide of thoughts day by day, week by week. Despite rarely venturing more than a...

āWeāre better prepared this timeā. I keep hearing people say this as England has returned to some sort of lockdown status. Thereās a weariness and a resignation this time round. Less fear perhaps, despite the rising numbers of cases and deaths and the doomy predications about the resilience of the NHS. Even so, the situation... Continue Reading →
It feels like a day of collective pausing in anticipation: internationally awaiting results of the US presidential elections and in England itās the first day of a new month-long lockdown. The outcomes of these circumstances is uncertain, but so much hangs on them. It feels almost as though the future of humanity is at stake.... Continue Reading →
When I take yoga class at home I use earbuds, so only I can hear whatās going on. Hubby got fed up with having to endure an hour at at time of a yoga teacherās instructions. Heās not keen on yoga teachers ā despite living with one! š I can see why it might be... Continue Reading →
Iām used to spending hours at a screen ā Iām an office worker after all. Homeworking in iso times is no different. Except that it is! Screen time is more intense since itās not leavened any longer by face to face meetings, corridor chats and all those small encounters I used to enjoy in the... Continue Reading →
I think a little about dying these days. Iām sure Iām not the only one. I think about my own death, how I would prepare if I knew it was imminent; I even dare to think about the deaths of my loved ones, wondering how I might ready myself for the inescapable pain I will... Continue Reading →
