Yes, this week has been untypically cold for a London winter, with temperatures regularly below freezing (even during the day), necessitating me breaking out the jacket and boots I refer to as either "DefCon 1" or "Moscow measures" when we need to leave the house and go for a walk. And yes, even in this… Continue reading Frozen (but don’t Let it Go) (6.21)

Moody (45.20)
I can't figure why I've had such spasms of bad mood this week. Is it stress? Is it coffee? Is it the Fig Rolls? Is it not going out for a run when I said I would?

It seems to be getting worse and is happening during the day now. I'm at the point… Continue reading Week 20.2020

This was the first week that several people admitted… Continue reading tHe wEEk tHAt wAs (16.2020)

He is younger than me but has been doing yoga a lot longer. He is very flexible and… Continue reading Open heart, open space

Since the lockdown began, days feel like weeks, weeks like months. 2020 is going to be a very long year. This week I have been Strugling with yoga. I signed up for a month… Continue reading The longest week (13/2020)
