Busy Sunday 20200105

We had a group come today which didn’t start well.  I had an argument with Giri about the sort of food we should have in the kitchen.  He got milk in plastic bags from the local shop to make tea and I said we needed to express our values more and use Auroville milk.  Later after what turned out to be a successful session with the students he said he hadn’t had time to get it.

Managed to finish and upload the videos but feel very tired. I don’t really like working on Sunday and we are supposed to be doing it again next Sunday.  They want two sessions one after the other and as usual Giri agreed to it without discussing it with any of us.  I think it will be far too hot for the students in the afternoon.

A lot went on 20200104

This picture is of the sun in my stomach, experienced during Goshin Tai So.  Together with a lot of other things which I haven’t had time to write up.  I have to do the video today as tomorrow we have got a course on.

I also went to yoga which made feel rather hot.

Another wait 20200103

Rajan’s house is finished and today we talked about getting my house done.  It looks like it will take at least another month because a lot of people want Pongal holidays this time of year.  One option is to get the inside done first so I can move in and then the rest follows on the outside.  I’m not sure this would be better than not moving at all.  Anyway it depends on what workers Joseph can get together.

I’ve decided to look at it as a month when I can do more things to improve my health – like eat well, go to more yoga classes etc. 

We had our first misty morning of the new year.  The picture is of one of the hundreds of spider webs hung with water droplets and that looked really beautiful.

Finished? 20200102

The roof is now on the bathroom which has been painted.  Is the building finished?  There still seem to be little jobs that need doing but Rajan assures me they are all in hand.  He has started doing a deep clean and is planning to move some of his stuff over to the house very soon.  So I suppose it is finished.  I feel we should be having fireworks or something to mark the occasion!

Now we have to make sure the builders don’t run away before they start doing the work on my house.  I’ve arranged a meeting with the builder tomorrow and hope to get an estimate.  Then they can start next week.

I feel much more energetic today.  Maybe the doing nothing day yesterday was what I needed.

Blank day 20200101

Had an extremely boring day today.  Did very little except get lunch and read.  Fortunately I have a good book.

Felt very tired but didn’t want to go to bed all day as I wouldn’t have slept at night.

A very grey nothing type day.

Tired 20191231

Have felt so tired today with my digestive system feeling very out of sorts although no real symptoms of illness.  Its been a grey and humid day and my eyes have not been good either with blepharitis and a certain fuzziness in seeing.

This is a picture of a flower on one of the trees that I pass on my way out to work each day.  However I’m feeling the flower seems to gleam at me.  Maybe I will feel more energetic eventually…… I get the feeling in Buddha Garden that energy is returning as the house building comes to an end and there feels more energy for various different projects.

A glimmer of energy 20191230

I felt a glimmer of energy this morning although I feel tired as I write this at the end of the day. 

The picture is from my window when we had a heavy shower this afternoon.  The monsoon is taking a long time to completely disappear this year.  Meanwhile the atmosphere feels humid and heavy.
