My weeknotes for the week 2025-04-14 to 2025-04-20.
... I really should consistently write in the diary, because it makes it really difficult to remember what I actually did. Aaaargh!
I had the day off, so I did a fair bit of gardening.
I got up at four, trying to continue the routine from the temple. I read some Sri Isopanisad, did eight pushups and a sun salutation (just one!), then got ready for work.
I finished Never Let Me Go. Apart from that, just work I think? I struggled (and failed!) to wake up at four though.
I struggled again to wake up, and at lunch had a quick chat with someone who I met at the temple. I've started reading another of Ishiguro's, Nocturnes.
(I actually wrote a diary entry for this day, well done, me of three days ago!)
I failed again to wake at four, ate way too much sugar too (sweets brought back from the temple). I did odds and ends in the garden (the major thing was planting a Kniphofia caulescens, which will look good in a few years), added a portal page to my website and banned search engines for myself. I wrote a blog article about it...
I also saw a friend in the evening.
I went to the cafe with family (didn't really get any study done) and started to read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue as recommended by my mother. I don't like the writing style (too much overuse of single sentence paragraphs and power of three to make it excessively dramatically written when it doesn't need to be) but I'll finish it either way.
I started to sleep on the floor. It's actually not too bad!
I did sun salutations in the morning, which were nice.
I also did some guitar and mandolin.
We also had the easter egg hunt etc. for easter which was fun, and I ate way too much food.
