Update

Typical. I have finally rendered the back yard habitable, and summer's nearly over.

My formal job offer has finally come in the post today! That's a relief. It wouldn't be the end of the world if it had fallen through, but I do need to know.

And Bristol people - I'm hoping to check out the Organic Food Festival next weekend (4th and 5th September). Mostly for the organic textiles & beauty supplies portion, but it's sponsored by Green & Blacks so can't go wrong there.

If, that is, I don't kill anyone in the 3 days I have left in this job. Which is going to be a challenge.

Yoga

I was thinking that if I feel up to it after I start the new job, I should start doing yoga. I've been meaning to do this since I moved here, and the extent to which I'm losing my flexibility & general aches & pains is a bit scary. A quick Google tells me that there's lots of yoga classes in Bristol, but absolutely none in East Bristol or even in the city centre (i.e. anywhere I can get to on foot or on only one bus). I shall pick up a local what's on rag, but it will probably tell me the same thing.

So I have to sort out the whole not feeling alert enough to drive problem before I can contemplate yoga.

There's also a bewildering variety of types of yoga classes. I haven't done yoga since I was a kid - my mother was really into it, but I don't think I ever took classes, just did stuff out of her "yoga for kids" book. I know some of you do yoga: Is there any particular type I should go for/avoid? The decision will probably fall to classes in most convenient places/times, but advice is still appreciated. There's a class called "Yoga Without Tree Hugging" which as you can imagine appeals to me, but is not in a very good location.
