Number 48 (Reluctantly), Oh and a big ass yellow Spider

Dreadful practice this morning. Woke up a little late from heavy dreams, dopey, drowsy, stumbling around all over the place. Encountered a big ass yellow spider in the middle of the kitchen floor that needed to be evicted, last thing I needed. I don't feel the love as far as Spiders are concerned, but may it be happy, well, peaceful, safe ......SOMEWHERE ELSE!

It's getting colder, can feel it in my knee (old Aikido injury, plays up in the cold). Running a bit late I didn't linger so long in the Sury's and Standing, always a mistake, and down hill the practice preceded to go from there on in. Fell over in Pasasana, two very lame Kapo's Skipped Supta V to give my knee a day off. Bakasana was tolerable. LBH was stiff despite chucking in a couple of extra prep poses, decided to skip Dwi pada and go straight into Yoga Nidrasana. Karanda... lol. Mayurasana, fell on my chin. Skipped Vatayanasana and ended up uncomfortably in Gomukhasana (the guys know what I mean, don't ask me to spell it out).

But I've been here before, so just plodded on through the practice trying to focus on the breath and bandhas to get as much help as possible, was mildly amused. Made the most of Bharadvajrasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana, Parighasana as well as finishing. Pranayama and chanting was pleasant enough.

Oh well, every morning we unroll the mat anew,
but might be time to fish out the space heater.

Talking of yellow Spiders has everyone heard this from Devendra Banhart? Except it was big Devendra, big as a dinner plate ( ..ish)..... there's no Spiders in India right?
