Another week gone

purpletigronI'm still hoping to unwind in London tomorrow, despite the ongoing attempts to create chaos. I would have liked to spend longer than just one day, but considering said disruption, Mater, and aikido, it's best this way. My plan is: lunch at on Drummond St with R, pick up weaving tablets in E17, then rendezvous with G & D in N17 for some serious partying :-)
Aikido summer school is just 2 weeks away now. I'm intrigued at how desparately I want to be able to go. It would be much-needed week of doing my own thing, if Mater has somewhere to go.
Anyhow, I'm training again. I'm going to the gym most week-days, for basic knee physio when Mater's at home, and a longer work-out when she's at day hospital. Each week, I get nearly 2 hours of aikido body art (Wednesday and Friday evenings, not the advanced class on Tuesdays), and 3.5 hours of weapons (after body art, and on Sunday morning). My ukemi (break-falls) are 'recovering' (rolling felt weird after 3 months off the mat), and my body remembers more than my mind of the techniques :-) The warm-ups at the start of class are intended also as 'cool down' from stress, which hits the spot at the moment.
I'd be happy if I managed two hours of training per day at summer school (there's up to 5 hours scheduled)!
