4th - 15th February 2011
Five out of ten yoga classes attended.
Every day spent partially in bed.
No pictures taken.
18 films watched;
Revolver, X-Men, Iron Man, Fistful of dollars, Flags of our Fathers, Blow, Capitalism A Love Story, Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest and At Worlds End, The Goonies, Rio Bravo, Snakes on a Plane, Alice in Wonderland, Avatar, Control, Little Miss Sunshine, The 40 Year Old Virgin, The Incredible Hulk
Sixty one sitcoms watched;
20 episodes of Coupling, 36 episodes of How I Met Your Mother and 5 episodes of Lie to Me
Seven out of ten days crying.
Nine out of nine days missing my husband and feeling horribly lonely.
One day delayed due to heavy snow fall in Srinigar.
One resolution made;
I will not be holidaying minus Djalma for longer than a couple of days.
As my wife wrote to me: 'As good as it is to have a strong sense of yourself as an individual, it's the sharing of life's experiences that makes most of them so amazing I think.'
I didn't have the most wonderful or enlightening experience in Mysore, I couldn't attend half of my yoga course because I had the runs both ends. I felt so unwell and dizzy in one restaurant that I had to lie down somewhere quiet before I could leave without falling over. I missed my man everyday and longed for new friends but as being in the hospital on the massage course taught me, sometimes it's actually better to be lonely when you're alone than lonely in the company of others, at least when the urge to cry takes over you can crawl onto the bed and cry like a baby without having to explain or hide from others.
Self indulgent pity over, I got up early on the 16th my final day and having prayed a lot that there was no more unmanageable snow fall and that Danila and Djalma's plane could safely take off (and land of course) I got a tuk-tuk to the bus station just in time to get on a bus leaving for Calicut.
