Weather and Yoga

I just emailed a friend and thought a few of the things would be interesting to post.

Some of you might be wondering, does Jill have friends? Good question! Luckily, there is a great international community here, most of whom I met through Anuraj and his UN work. I’m doing yoga with a few of the women on Sunday’s at 3pm outside in the garden of the “teachers” compound. It’s lovely and refreshing and gives me a break from Anusha. After our 1 and a half hour session (this british teacher is hard core!) we have green tea and chat. So, that is one of the highlights of my week. (That and when Anusha takes one to two hour naps and I have time to write.) So, Anuraj is my friend, Anusha is my friend. These ladies are people I say hi to and we meet up with for weekend brunch or lunch on occasion.

The weather is gorgeous. Virginia springtime or a Florida winter at it’s best. Warm during the day, cooler in the morning and evening. Within a month it’s going to start getting hot, and people here say it gets hot (I’m thiking Florida in the summer without AC) – Our purchase next month, besides some more furniture, is a window AC.

Finally, for those of you who are wondering how I'm really doing, the short answer is, good, until yesterday. Where I was on the verge of crying in the middle of the market. I cannot communicate and this is frustrating. Yesterday, the vegetable seller sold me 1 kilo of bananas instead of 3 bananas! It is also frustrating at home, where I have people working for me and I can't explain that I want the rugs shaken out every day (yes, I tried today, even with some Nepali cue words). If I can learn this language, I’ll be fine. If not ... let's just assume I will! :)

Anusha is good, for all those wondering. She is now officially a chatterbug. She has discovered all sorts of new sounds -- as of last week -- and she is doing here, "th" "fuh" "gujubuga" types of sounds all the time -- when looking at books, when she's frustrated or tired and trying to tell me something! It's really cute and I wonder what in the world is going on inside that little head of hers sometimes!

If anyone can post and tell me how to reduce the size of photos so I can try to post some, please comment!
