I suppose it was nearly inevitable that having worried about not getting enough work, I would now be worried about meeting the deadlines, which is why the blog has been a bit slow.
Anyway, last weekend I took teachings from Lama Pema Dorje in a form of Tibetan yoga – a relatively gentle form, fairly safe and not “strange and secret”. I wrote about it a little more over on DangZang. Here I will just mention that it was very enjoyable. Apparently Nougat, our large new dog, missed me when I went out on Saturday morning, but then he had some sardines and a bit of a lie down:
… so everything was all right then.
I did, however, notice how security is spreading everywhere. The first time I went to put on my loose-fitting “yoga pants”, I thought it would be discreet to pop out to change in the stairwell. I had just started when a door opened and a man looked out from what I then saw was the “Chinese Massage Parlour”. I had not noticed the dome of the security camera in the ceiling, so I guess he wondered what I was up to. But no harm done! Lesson: examine environment before taking trousers off. What is a Chinese massage parlour anyway?
Hi Alex
Not what I expected I guess, with the Tibetan yoga tag. I hesitate ( on the grounds of dubious good taste ) to make any comments along the line of ” dog of a blog ”
Must try the sardines myself, ( but not in a kagyu kitchen , due to the apparent dangers these days )
Could have been worse – still footage from a security camera , for instance.

Hi John,
Hmm, I see what you mean, but here on PicaPica this is just a kind of diary. I’ve put a bit more about the event on the DangZang blog, link above.
Sorry it’s a bit confusing – I’ll have to think about that.
