We’ve had a great relaxing weekend, yummy food, a movie yesterday (’The Number 23′ semi-entertaining thriller with Jim Carey as a paranoid dog-catcher), Lunar Eclipse last night & lots of reading & massage today! I’m munching on a rich, creamy Belgian truffle right now- buttery & chocolate goodness!
I am three weeks into my new job with David. It is wonderful going to work & doing my job, being appreciated, having the time fly by & soon it is Friday again & I have had a completely stress-free week which hasn’t zapped me of all my energy! At this stage the job is pretty mundane, I am going through each of the mortgage offers he has completed & putting them onto a system. He has three cabinets (two drawers each) filled with folders containing the mortgage process for each client. I am challenging myself by trying to go faster & trying to be as observant as I can about each case, so I can learn the various ways a mortgage can go. I am looking forward to having a more active role with his new cases & seeing where that will lead.
Bodra & I are doing really well. We have just started ordering our food from Abel & Cole, a company which delivers locally grown organic groceries. We saw a movie recently- ‘An Inconvenient Truth’- which made us realise we were contributing unnecessarily to carbon pollution by purchasing food which is air-freighted here. I thought it was quite exotic having beans from Egypt & apples from Brazil. But now I realise how that also contributes to the carbon crisis the Earth is facing right now… So now we are eating even more healthily & we feel awesome, energetic & very happy!
Last weekend we went to Bristol for a dance party. Bodra hired a car so it was great not having to plan around public transport. We didn’t have presale tickets so we had to get there when the doors opened & then stand in queue waiting for a ticket. It was a good opportunity to check out the different people attending- everyone seemed very friendly & positive. Lots of feral looking people. A hippie bus turned up & parked opposite the queue & an elder hippie man jumped out, his mongrel dog perched on the dashboard watching his Master go into the club.
We were a bit worried as there were heaps of people in the queue & apparently only 70 tickets on door sale. One of the girls ahead of us kept pacing from the front of the queue to her place trying to count how many people there were & it looked like it was going to be a slim chance for us to get in. It started to rain aswell, so Bodra & I waited, hoods up gradually becoming quite saturated & increasingly anxious as to whether our efforts would prove futile. Luckily the Gods of Psy were looking upon us favourably as we moved closer to the front & the bouncer said ‘Only five more!’ Bodra & I were the last two! Yahoo!
That part of the night over we joined the next queue- coat check. The music was so good a lot of us were bouncing around while waiting. You get used to waiting in queues in this country & just make the most of the situation. There were lots of people with UV face paint with neat tribal designs painted on their skin. Very colourful people.
The club was amazing. Every wall had UV art work on it. In the main room the DJ was set up in a Space Ship Control Centre stage. In another room the walls were painted with characters & excerpts from The Jabberwocky. The chill out room was decorated like a butterfly jungle. We’ll definitely be returning there in July once the smoke-ban is in place.
We had a really good night together- lasted until 4am before we were getting dangerously weary for the drive home. Naturally I had a wee snooze during the ride home, I tried really hard to keep my eyes open to help Bodra but he was fine. I only dozed for a few minutes. Bodra took the car back to the hire place while I de-smoked myself & prepared for a welcome rest.
This weekend we’ve managed to sort out our tickets for our trip to Italy in September with my Mummy & Daddy. Really looking forward to that adventure- now we need to plan where we go & sort out transport, & I can tell you I am not that excited about those Internet searches.
Not too much planned until our trip to Thailand in April. (Can’t wait for the warmth & the ocean!) A friend who I met through Ayurveda Retreat, Dewi, will be using me as her Case Study for her Aroma-massage & Reiki practice. I am so lucky!!! Next weekend I will be having some lovely ladies over while Bodra goes to Earl’s Court for his weekend course on Spread-betting. The following week I will be having some Shamanic Healing done on me by Chris Waters http://www.life-times.co.uk/ - I wonder what that will reveal! Then, the next weekend we will be going into London to watch NZ vs England in Cricket at the Temple Walkabout. That Saturday, St. Patricks Day, it will be a whole year since we left NZ! Hmmm… seems like there is a lot going on!
Keep the postcards coming! Kim & Ez sent us one from Paris- they had a lovely holiday there over Valentines, lots of sightseeing & stair climbing!
