Moved back in 20200214

At last I have moved back.  In the end it wasn’t too traumatic despite a change in plan for the moving time and having difficulty getting the table into the van. 

I managed to finish cleaning the floor and some of the sorting out.  I had a bed to sleep in and the kitchen ready to make breakfast tomorrow.

It was lovely seeing the colours of this lettuce on the beds.

Housework 20200213

At last my room is finished and I’ve spent a lot of time clearing stuff out and then cleaning everything. I feel I have spent the whole day scrubbing a very dirty floor. I didn’t even have time to finish it!.  I had Vasantha’s help so at least the bathroom is done and all the cupboards have been cleaned if not sorted out.  I’ve organised to move tomorrow at 4.30pm –  Sangeeta should be very pleased as that is the most auspicious time on the most auspicious day. 

I would have like to have everything sorted out before I moved in but its better to move in so I have all my computer stuff to do the weekly video.  At least if everything is together I can sort out at the same time as doing the video.

At least I hope so.

Windows finished! 20200212

It was wonderful to get to Buddha Garden to find that all the mosquito netting on the windows had been installed.  Of course it wasn’t finished!  There were quite a few gaps around the new frames but Rajan said that he had asked the painters to fill in the gaps with the same white gunk that they use for filling in cracks.  The painters all turned up so hopefully they will finish today.

After Buddha Garden I went to Transition.  In some ways it was a difficult class as Moorthy was very distracted dealing with a problem and had to leave me on my own.  I enjoyed it though.

Unexpected rain 20200211

Had some unexpected rain during work time this morning.  This was followed by really bright sunshine, but as the picture shows, there were no rainbows to be seen.

Someone did turn up to do the windows this morning, but only because there was an electricity cut at the place where he was supposed to be working, so he couldn’t do the job there.  He started off by saying he would finish the job, but then ended up saying he would try to finish the job.  So far Rajan has given me no hint as to how he is getting on.

Had to go to a really boring meeting this morning which has made me feel really out of sorts.  I am finding it very hard to get back to my art work and writing, although I have managed to do some crochet.

Feeling better 20200210

Thank goodness I feel I have a bit more energy today.  Lying down all afternoon yesterday obviously helped.

Went to Buddha Garden this morning to find that all the metal and my door had been painted a very deep blue.  This colour was chosen by Rajan and its lovely.  A painter and someone else turned up and I had great hopes of getting at least one window done today, but it was not to be.  They disappeared because they needed another person who did not turn up.  He needed what Rajan called a ‘small Sunday’ to get over the ‘big Sunday’ drinking session.

The interior painting is streaky and will have to be painted again.  Rajan said they will do it on Wednesday.  Rajan has done a lot of work on the soakaway which I think needs just a few tweaks from a plumber to make it work.

Maybe I can move on Saturday? No, I cannot move on Saturday as according to Rajan it is not an auspicious day to do so

My eyes are hurting 20200209

My eyes are smarting, probably because of the Goshen Tai So session yesterday.  We looked at the liver and gall bladder again.  The eyes are connected with them.

I’ve had to finish the video as well as doing some writing work for Vivek.  Which hasn’t helped them much.  Don’t see myself getting much rest today and I still feel very tired.

Managed to have some time off in the afternoon, but my eyes are watering and I still feel tired.

Decorating time 20200208

Went to the Visitors Centre to get my lunch and called in to  see what was going on with my house.  The mosquito netting frames have arrived but they don’t have a drop of paint on them yet, not even primer.  I argued with Rajan that they can’t possibly get everything done by Monday.  Unless we want the paint to peel off because it wasn’t able to dry properly.

I think Wednesday or Friday are much better days and will give me time to get some cleaning done before I move in.  According to Rajan they are both good days to move.

Had a difficult discussion about the gate with our next door neighbours.
