A quiet day!

It's a saturday, and we all started by sleeping in, then a leisurely breakfast. Everyone headed into town but Jamie and I stayed behind. He had to chop wood anyway, and do some weed yanking (this is so much fun, thats why I call it yanking!). I went for a long walk, then sitting under tree and reading the book Lawrence gave me. I then watched a Bollywood movie. For some reason India feels like so far away, but I can remember everything clearly. In fact I closed my eyes as I was listening to the indian song in the movie and sent myself back in time to India, feeling the heat, the noise, the dust, smells...Hmmm love that country so much.

I spent a lot of time talking to Fin, John's 10year old son. He is so full of energy. He had a 90min football match today, and yet afterwarsd came up to me and Jamie looking at our technique of weed yanking, showed us his tricks on his scooter, showed us his blisters...He's just full of life, I'm sure he'll grow up to be a fine man:)

Oh and I got to paint my feet with henna today, with flowers, stars and words...it looks pretty cool. I'm looking forward to those 108 sun salutaions tomorrow and seeing my painting on my feet...

Anyhow, no one has returned yet, so its pretty quiet in the whole complex!
