Rain in London

You must know the feeling of waking up after 14 hours of sleep. That's exacly how I feel today after I went to sleep exhausted yesterday at 4pm and woke up this morning at 6 am. I haven't done it for ages. It really feels good exept from whole body hearting. I hardly could move this morning after my amost 3 nights sleep in one go. 14 hours devided in 3 equals almost 4,5h. This is my avarage daily hours sleep. Of course yoga practise - sunsalutations, bridge, shoulderstand and headstand made my morning, helped me to recover from 14 h long immobility. I am asking myself how people can not move at all. It must be really unbearable. I am not talking about the handicap I am talking about avarage people who have stationary life style and do nothing but siting or lying. London hopefuly is one of these places where fitness is a fashion. In any other case I wouldn't agree that we should fallow the fashin but in this if there is no other way around I agree that we should stick to this one;) I had got enormous breakfast made of fruit shake, bacon and egg on toast, yogurt and jam pankake followed by latte. Finally I could face the beganning of a new day - rainy may bank holiday. It's the middle of 3 days break and it looks like every single day will be raining. It doesn't really matter to me, I will continue my yoga, pilates, dance training, cykling around the whole city. Since one week I ve been cykling all over London, northern and souther Thames side and I will continue untill I leave for my 3 months break to Miami. At the beganning it seemed to be pritty hard to cicle 2-3 hours a day but eventualy it became a habit. This is an avarage amanount of time we daily spend in public transport. I relised that I can actualy save time on publick transport by relying on my body and cykling around beautiful London. Yes beautiful indeed, since 6 years I have been living here and I haven't explored it until now. When you are stacked in the tube you don't see much out there over the ground. Recently we had got a pleasent sunny weather which incoraged to be outdoor. It was a good beganning to start cycling the miles while before I was doing some tracks at north, then train and continuing on south part of the river.
My BF is off to Alaska fro 2 weeks and I've got whole time for myself-not that he's been that present before to make me feel claustrofobic. It was probabely myself putting so much stress on my shouldesrs. I am just recovering from running like a crazy since I came back from Poland 3 weeks ago. It was only 3 weeks ago, it feels ages. I've got impression that I ve been living already few lives in my one short live.
I orgenised a couple of workshops at Goldsmiths Uni: 1,5h yoga and 2 hours dance workshop. Additionaly I work on two dance pices for brockley max festival which I am part of since 4 years. Every year me and my dance partner come out with a new half an hour piece and perform it at Brockley Jack Theatre. We really enjoy it so much. Now we've got two male dancers who partecipate in the Cambodian project about thsouth east Asian sexual children slavery. It very unusual performance comparing to our previous work considering our daily life included in our previous pieces. This one is a different dimention mature development from professional and personal experience. We've got one month to go befor the final performance on 4th June 2010, 7.30pm at Brockley Jach theatre. Then I work on another 15 min piece with my chilian friend. This one is based on chilian poems about the imaginary man. It will be the addition to the main Cambodian performance 'chancce 4 changes''.
