Meditating and football results

Five minutes accapella with lovely Legs11 before meditation practice at the temple half a mile away; good job we're not doing this tomorrow after 4am footy - don't think snoring in the corner would impress anyone!

Not sure if  one is supposed to plan how to organise & carry out flower planting for the afternoon when the whole building is quietly considering belly buttons.

Spain crashed out & they have a new king.

Let's go meditate

Tim Sherwood lost job at Spurs
200 miners dead in Turkey
Boko Haram still have 300 or so girls kidnapped

Not always great catching up on the news on the way to work - as if I care about THFC!

Early departure for a long crocodile-walk to a temple to meditate; dangerous roads, shoes coming off, slow coaches lagging & generally everyone overheating. Very chuffed that last years' kids spotted me as we crossed a bridge over R19 & started yelling!

Quickly the entire school settled into silence & being still; significant achievement! Monk lacking any charisma "taught"  the meditating position & breathing and a lengthy discourse on how to pray...turns on his world music CD & closes his eyes - good way to make a living. Absolutely no idea what the point of doing this with kindergarten kids is. Five minutes of increasingly fidgetty nippers, with stern looks from teachers; usual suspects evading detection.

Then another delivery of oratory delight explaining what to do with the statues; you clap at a shrine; at a temple put hands together silently.

iLeader great 'in charge' & Bacardi looks like Buddha: still & radiant!
