I seem to
have got into a habit of waking incredibly early (3am-ish) recently, which is
very frustrating. After the sunshine and stillness of recent days, this morning
was very different – grey skies and a biting wind (although the sun had
re-appeared by lunchtime). I went on another dawn walk – Coronation Road,
Bedminster Bridge, Bathurst Basin, M-shed and Gaol Ferry Steps – and, as one
might expect for dawn on a Bank Holiday Monday, hardly saw a soul.
Spent
the rest of the morning reading and scribbling notes. Ruth had begun to set up
a facebook group called “21 Days of Abundance”… a sort of self-nurturing
challenge (“realising your blocks, fears,
and limiting beliefs in the area of abundance. As we realise these blocks, we
can then actively work to heal them by opening up an infinite source of
abundance”). Today was intended to be Day One, but she had some reservations
(she’s undertaking the challenge herself… and is currently on something like
Day Six) and so decided to put things on hold as far as getting others to join
in. From what I can recall, I think the first challenge involved making a list
of 50 people who’ve had an influence on one’s life. Very weirdly, only a couple
of days ago, I’d be reflecting on people who’ve been important for me over the
years. So, I started making a list anyway… but abandoned the exercise (at least
for now) when my first draft went WELL beyond 50 without me pausing for breath!
Chatted
to Iris and Rosa by phone after lunch… they both seem fine and keeping
themselves busy.
Watched
“Julie+Julia” DVD in the afternoon (enjoyable, light)… and then “Wise Children” streamed on
iPlayer (we saw the production at the Old Vic – which was pretty wonderful… the streamed version lost something of the intimacy).
