It happens every now and again that no-one shows up to my yoga class. I much prefer this to only one person turning up, especially when they haven’t done any yoga before and the class happens to be one for experienced people. According to my contract I have to wait 10 minutes before I can officially leave. That ten minutes is a difficult time. When the room is empty and there’s on-one on the horizon. Will it be a no show or will someone turn up at the last minute. Should I plan to stay or should I plan to leave? Well, I always plan to stay as more often than not in those situations someone usually does turn up. But not today. I think it might be because it’s half term. I still get paid and it feels like a holiday. It’s a rare treat. It happens maybe twice a year.

After an early start on Saturday morning the plan was to have brunch. So my friend and I took a walk along the Grand Union Canal passing the Hanwell locks and made our way to downtown Hanwell. The we purchased a all the ingredients for a full English sytle breakfast. So much for my temporary vegetarianism. When we got back it was sausages, bacon, eggs, mushrooms and washed down with a tall glass of orange juice. That was around midday and I didn’t need to eat again until 11.00pm.

Soon after that my friend left to see another friend while he was still in the UK and I got on with some wheel building. Four clients came to visit in the afternoon. Which I think is a record. I don’t think I’ve had that many in one day before. After they had gone I was starting to flag so I went to bed for a nap. It was a four hour nap. Nice.

A long standing friend of mine came to visit over the last couple of days and we watched movies and drank red wine. They were all movies that I’d seen before but nice to watch again and have running in the background as we caught up on the past two years since we’d seen each other.
