The photography course is finished and now I am moments, well, hours away from the plaane to inida.
I have not really had time to think about it properly, but I noticed, yesterday, that I was nervous about it.
I have not had the time to get into the terror that sometimes comes, thank god, and hopefully [...]

I am teaching a photography course. Just a quiet affair. A few lights and a camera. A bit of daylight here and there.
It is really interesting, even though it is quiet and low key. I am facinated by what I say. It is so surprising. I have taught the odd two hours here and [...]

India is looming, in all it’s heat and intensity, it is getting closer. Today I will know if my delightful friend is coming with me. I hope she can. I have been there on my own so much, it will be interesting to see how it is with company. To see it through the eyes [...]

I have had a yoga class at home for years. it has alawys been there, and up until now has been very quiet. Usually no one there except Baptiste and I. All of a sudden it is the new black. Two people this morning! Wild. Some days there are even three, and more facinating than [...]

It was not exactly with a bang, but the end of my carreer was delightful.

I managed to watch it most of the time, rather than go with it, [...]

I have lain awake since 3am, twirling and whirling both physically and mentally.
I get moments when I wish I was a better person, and I am coming close to that feeling now. I suppose now I am up and doing stuff it will fade away, but it is such an awful sensation. It has lessened [...]

The shop was a success. Lots of work setting up and we are still in the throes of dismantling it, but it worked. We met great people, sold lots of clothes and have found a good way forward. It is such a relief, I slept really deeply last night.
I was interested to see who [...]

Something has happened. An inexorable desire for sleep. I woke at 6am this morning and feel as though I have wasted most of the day.
I did start at 4 the day before and went to bed in a state of exhaustion with all the heat, so I suppose it is not too awful. It [...]

4 days into the experience of shopkeeping and life is changing a lot.
I am pleasantly surprised by the reactions that people have to the stock, and even more, the way they are buying is beyond all my expectations, but at the same time the experience has vastly increased my confidence in the business as [...]
