too wordy?

i got a heads up on blogging today, apparently you can add images, tip courtesy of Ben Earl...who's also in Mysore practising at the Shala, back left in the shot above

5am lead class today, last for the week and 6th in a row and i felt a bit stronger...feels like it's been a big week. in between heaps of walking before my first practise and battling stomach ailments during the week to get to the mat, today felt good and strong...tho i'm gonna have to synch my time with the Shala clock, I think it's a bit faster than my phone - i keep turning up just in time by the Shala clock, when I feel like i have plenty of time...

Saraswati said something at the end of practise about Guruji going to the hospital as some kind of emergency.

Natalie, Lee and I were early to Alia's for breakfast, with my stomach holding up to a good, strong dose of coffee, so things must be close to right down there. Lee heard about the Acidopholous that Leah gave me, so he's taken some to administer...against the force of gravity, if you know what I mean. Lee's got loads of information...and is a willing subject for the experiments too.

I then took to my flat with some makeshift cleaning equipment...and now it feels a little more like home...i reckon the place had been empty for a least a month and the ants were starting to get around like they owned the place.

The pic was taken at lunch...Ben, Natalie, Robbie, me and Lee - left to right, back to front...we talked about ochre, the Burning Man festival, the Primal Diet...and variants - like Ben's roadkill diet...i didn't really get all the details, but there's definitely roadkill involved, it has to be fresh and the weather has to be cold...and it's taken raw.

The food at the restaurant was probably the best I've had so far - so fresh and light, we were eating in the room next to the kitchen, which you can see directly in to. The simple desert of chapati, jaggery and yoghurt was awesome for the freshness of the ingredients.

Turns out Lee and I will both be turning 36 while we're in Mysore - me in about 10 days, Lee in June...I'll be campaigning for a midway party between the 2 dates, sort of a midsummer's 36th celebration...we've got plenty of time on our hands to plan...and a couple of kickin pads for a party

Ben and Robbie liked it so much, they're back there, about now, for dinner...

as for me, I'm enjoying a relaxing Friday evening after a big week of practise, my first in Mysore...and learning new things, like adding photos to my blog :)

I hope the pic comes up - there's just a load of html on the top of my blog...here goes!!!
