I've started taking drop-in classes at the yoga school based near my office reasonably frequently.

The teacher is also a friend,but she is very good at what she does. The style is strong on relaxation exercises, which are already proving very helpful to me. Yes, I did briefly drop off to sleep in the relaxation at the end of class on Saturday!

This is the same teacher who was so good with Mater last month. So when she launches her new timetable later this month, I hope that Mater will be able to start attending regularly with the support of her carers.

For me, well - this style of yoga is much easier to do at your own pace, and in your own time away from the classes, than is the style of aikido I've been following. So this is perfect when I don't have the stamina for aikido (like, the past year ... wail).

There going to be a 12 week course in the new yoga timetable, and I hope that I can take it.

Meanwhile, tonight is the last chance I get to go to an aikido class before October ... if I feel well enough, but I've got the sniffles, a sore throat and slight sore lymph nodes again. This has been going on for ... well, weeks at least, if not months. Every time I start to feel properly well again, and I test my stamina with something like a cycle ride, the cold-like symptoms slink back. Any helpful suggestions for throwing this thing off completely, gratefully received!

You broke a stick. You glue the stick back together. The glue needs 12-48 hours to set properly. You wait 13 hours and wave the stick. The stick breaks. You glue the stick back together...

Give yourself three frustrating months of *feeling* better to let you body catch up with you before you do the stamina testing thing. Actually *get* better before you start testing it.

Kiss hug kiss and eat more pesto, it's good for you and yummy. ;)

Completely correct ... except, probably for 13 hours read 11 hours ...

So sorry you are still feeling below par. If anyone does have the golden fix for beating cold symptoms please pass it along. My sinuses have been solid blocks of cement for a month now and that was the period of my usual summer respite. HOWLS!

Wah!

I forget how you do with things like lemon, ginger, eucalyptus, reaming tools ...

Reaming tools have an appeal. Also the Tycho Brahe route. If you ask em the duel was just an excuse.
