Ten days spent with three pairs of underwear, living on free Hare Krishna food for lunch and Ryvita crispbread for dinner; ten days of avoiding the mess at home and practically living in the the library and the postgraduate room. All this because of end of term deadlines, and a promise made long ago to produce some writing. My body is protesting loudly and any minimal stretching movement results in crippling effects. This is no way to live; please save me from the academic inferno. But at least it's done now. From tomorrow I'm cooking my own food.

ruinist you are welcome for a winter root veg soup soon...

Niki: I have some problems with posting photos.. But will resume signs. By the way you appeared in my dream last night, you were organizing this popular atheletic event, I think it was running, in a big stadium. Lots of people were there, including my friend Kali. It wasn't seriously competetive but everybody behaved as if it were.
It must have been inspired by your post about seeing the olympic torch.
