day potluck! Sorry I couldn’t resist the title!

A big thank you to Shari and Elaine for hosting the latest moon day potluck. It was well attended. I counted 14 in total. Jane gets a prize for her chocolate brownies… ooooh! Paul also gets a prize for most “avant garde” dish – cashew dates, dipped in cashew butter and then dipped in cacao powder! Seriously yummy – just don’t inhale as you put it in your mouth as the cacao powder gets caught at the back of your throat, as Shari and I both discovered!

The highlight for me was when Shari and Doug played guitar and sang… I’ve just started learning myself so it was nice that people felt comfortable enough to pick up the guitar and sing too! I must say that I’ve missed our potlucks, hanging out with the gang. It would be really nice to get them going a bit more regularly again!

So do we have any volunteers for the next one? Just let Sarah and Shari know and they’ll surely announce it at class!

There was also talk of getting a group together to go to five rhythms during the week. I’m seriously up for going to that too! Just as long as I can be tucked up in bed early enough for practice the next day!

Hope you’re all enjoying the sunshine!

In a recent post practice coffee I noticed that I actually find it easier going to practice every day than to practice on set days. It’s like the debate: “Shall I get up, or practice tomorrow, is it raining etc…” is over. I’ll have to practice tomorrow anyway unless it’s a moon day.

So it all takes up less mental space now, there’s no ambiguity or negotiation which is a nice small freedom.

Thanks to all those who came round last night for the Moon day pot luck. It was a bit last minute but there was a good turn out with 7 of us packed into my little studio flat.

The culinary highlight (besides the chocolate) was definitely Shari’s very tasty quesadillas. I was a bit zoned out as I’d just had an extraordinary 2 hour Thai Yoga Massage from Adriane which was awesome. Highly recommended!

It was nice to get to know my fellow Ashtangi’s a little better and Doug made an excellent suggestion of extending invitations to non-yogi’s too which will keep things interesting.

If you didn’t get an invite I probably don’t have your number or just forgot. So if you couldn’t make it and would like to come along some time then let me know your mobile number so I can send out a text.

Happy moon day!
