Floored!

Injury! But not really serious. Pushed to hard in Yoga yesterday, left hip didn’t feel so good for the whole day afterwards. A bit better today, should be fine by tomorrow or the day after. I feel like an old man – it’s hard to stand up from sitting, and to get up from lying down.

Spent the day working with Richard at the lower house which seems to be shaping up to be a really nice place. We put down what looks like hardwood floor in the kitchen, but it is far more durable and easier to put in. It took about 6 uninterrupted hours which went by really fast – I thought it was still early afternoon when we were done, so had a load more things to get done and was confused by the lack of interest everyone had in starting new things.
A few new WWOOFers have arrived, two girls hitched here and arrived at about 8:30 PM after having called and said they were going to be a day late. Ruth and Zoe, although I’m not sure who is who. One from Montreal, the other from Kelowna, and they’ve been traveling together for a month or so, now. Commendable, for sure, but they seem to have similar age, abilities and interests.
And a great evening as well – down to the beach with Diana and Michelle for a sunset swim and canoe, stopping at the community centre on the way back up so that Michelle could play some beautiful piano, and then tea and stargazing. There was heat lightning in the sky – amazing to have brief flashes of light in an almost clear sky.
I can’t think that I’m about to leave this place. It’s been so good so far, I’m keen on staying for another week or so. Plus it’s a great group of folks right now, and the biggest retreat of the year coming up, so all in all, I’m thinking of staying a bit longer. Maybe until the end of the month. Who knows.
