Dear Yogis

What an unusual time – everything is changing…. you must have felt it.  Anyway, this week my grandchildren are making their first visit.  I am like a rabbit in the spotlight, just frozen by the amount of stuff to be done (plus an afternoon tea for 10 persons) – but it will be OK on the day.  Too much thinking can bring one undone!!

DOLL MAKING:  I do have a project of my own.  I do indulge in doll making from time to time – I find it relaxing, and I need relaxing.  I am going to have a FRIDA KAHLO DOLL MAKING CLASS here on the 17th of August.  1.30 to…4ish.  Champers and chocolates as well as materials all provided, (small scissors and hat flowers always in short supply -please bring if you have some) and you will have a lovely doll to take home. Absolutely no experience required, but the ability to hold a needle probably is inescapable.

The doll to the left is not FRIDA – a Frida doll is quite a lot simpler (not hard to do), The one to the left is much more complex, but a favourite from the last doll making effort.  She’s about 35cm tall.

MY READING LIST:  Have been reading an interesting book ZEALOT and amongst the pages found the library tag from a musical friend of mine.   I was surprised this book (another biography of Jesus), was on his reading list… But now I have lots to talk about.  Last week I read AGATHA CHRISTIE by Lucy Wolsey.  She is a fabulous historian and it was like sitting and talking to her, rather than fact after fact.  I recommend both of these books.

YOGA MONTHLY LUNCH: Sunday – 10th August at The Victoria Hotel (hardly anything else is open for lunch) at 12 noon.   It is quieter then, and if there are enough of us we can get the room at the back, although I do like an ordinary table rather than the big table and lately we have scored the big table near the front windows.
