Dear Yogis,
The little TeaBag painting is part of a number I have done with a focus on the alphabet. Prints, originals cards…. I am doing some MINIATURE linocut prints. I have an exhibition in Kyneton next year with a largish room to inhabit, plus Christmas is coming and I would like to have an exhibition in my own studio prior to that. Getting the balance right is they key – I am learning.
I didn’t get to the disability Conference in Melbourne on Friday, although I did get to the City. The rain was monsoonal with hail promised and try as I might I just couldn’t get down to South Bank without the possibility of being totally drowned…. The rain was relentless, and I didn’t want to sit in cold wet clothes all day. The hail didn’t eventuate but I did manage to get to The Theosophical Society – they are stocking my prints and cards, and they have the WONDERFUL library, I never come out without a book or two and usually not the ones I went in for! Then there is the shop, so if you want the gongs, books, all the things that were at the old and glorious building, then come here. I am getting used to the building but it is not as “welcoming”, although the staff certainly is.
I was encouraged to use the community bus to get around locally in the rain, so I did, and what a great experience it was. Out community bus (unlike the bigger buses in other towns) will come when you call, and is small enough to get around the little backroads. All in all it was worth trying and at $1.40 per trip there is nothing to grumble about. I will be using it more often. They even offered to pick me up from the railway station, but I managed the 100 yards to the bus stop between showers.
I did do a bit of investigation because it was suggested that we move our Yoga Lunches to The Mount Pub, but reliable sources have said they are not up to more than a table for two, and even that has “iffy” reviews. The last time 8 of us went for lunch it was a woeful experience, and I decided that it is not yet ready to reliable deal with our yoga lunch, so we are staying with “The Full Moon Saloon” in Woodend. Out last meal there was splendid, and the cook has even suggested that we pre-order our lunch to get the meal we would like.
WHATS ON. (don’t forget – we have started a new term)

DISABILITY YOGA CLASS (YOGA FOR WHEELIES AND WALKERS) in NORMA RICHARDSON hall, starting 9.30am every Wednesday (BUT NOT THIS WEDNESDAY – WE ARE HAVING A DAY OFF) by donation. Please arrive close to 9.30 and we will start when we are settled. I will be leaving around 11am.. I am not sure how long the class will last, or how long it will take to get everyone ready and moving, but we will be relaxed, and see how it goes. Two students or more – we always have a great class. We are change makers.
If you are enrolled and started the zoom training, and/or the Disability course, there is a chance that I will get approval to accept my students for a period of placement with me. Don’t forget there is now a book available on Etsy..
