Right! Regular readers out there will know I’m well past due an updated on my life changing plans and blah blah blah. Well, let’s see shall we? As I think I mentioned previously work have decided to turn down my sabbatical request. It seems that spiritual development, charity work, and visiting family overseas is insufficient [...]

(brace yourselves, this is a long ‘un – oo-err missus! ) Oh Spring, where have you been? Away for so long, I thought you’d never get here! But now finally the equinox has come and gone, the days are longer, the nights shorter, the sun is out, and we’re about to go into summer time [...]

Start as you mean to go on they say. I started 2012 by sleeping til gone noon, then lazing about the flat playing online games and watching movies. So, a lot like 2011 then, lol. Ok, technically I started 2012 at the Sivananda Yoga Centre enjoying their new years eve celebrations. I went along early, [...]

Ok, “Disaster Recovery” is probably a bit over dramatic. It’s just a phrase you hear often in TV for dealing with any number of transmission problems – power cuts, terrorist attacks, a plane landing on top of you – and I just like the sound of it. I’ve been dealing with my own ‘disaster’ recently, [...]
Definitely, maybe…

Ok, so what have I decided? Nothing, that’s what. I know I said I’d be making a decision at the end of the month and blah blah blah, but the truth is I haven’t. I’ve come to some conclusions, some things have just happened, and some things are still undecided. So with that in mind [...]

It’s been a long time since I did an all round update of my pursuit for a Brand New Life. The reason for that is simple, I’ve been out doing stuff. I’ve also been avoiding going on about things too much so as to avoid a false sense of achievement, as outlined in this video [...]

September 14th : International Kiki Day. A day when all Kiki’s take a break from ‘real life’ and go out and do something less boring instead. This turned out to be a bit of an odd one for me. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, and in the end what I chose to [...]

Well, it’s been just over a week since I worked the Buddhafield Cafe at the Green Man Festival. Ample time for me to reflect and come to some conclusions. If only that’s what I’ve been doing. Truth is I’ve just been faffing about, doing some yoga, writing intermittently, watch DVDs, and suffering work (but more [...]
A Flying Visit

So much has been going on lately, both in the world and in my life, I must apologise for my blog negligence (“blognigence”?). First of all I am alive and well. My thanks to all my friends worldwide for their concern when the whole riot thing was going on. I dunno what that was all [...]

Well, I’m back from my yoga retreat. Quite a weekend, let me tell you. Hard work sometimes (getting up at 5:30am for example) but certainly worth it. And I don’t feel half as tired/achey as I thought I would. Maybe I’m getting better, lol. It was at Gaunt’s House, which is this big old former [...]
