Jason eats - regularly

some time a few weeks ago we found this pub with a world beer
selection: pictured here a beer from Cologne/Germany



potato and leek and onion bake ..



Jason checking out the nightlife and it was all a bit crazy except for
Lennon who was pretty relaxed.



...at the end of Yoga in savassana (resting pose)



There was an African Music Festival in the park right by Birgit's place
last saturday. Lots of music and many stalls, among others this German
Sausage Food Stall. The people working there weren't Germans but
imposters, Birgit did not approve. But Jason liked the sausage (hot dog).




Sunday we took the train to Freshfield/Formby a suburb of Liverpool
to the beach forest and beach, only a few stops from Birgit's place.
Here is our travel snack (post-snacking)

YOGA

Yoga: headstand

headstand variation

resting pose / child's pose

We found this large xylophone on the walk through the forest
on our way to the beach after yoga practice.

On Formby beach next to a stranded jellyfish




Jason chatting with Cressida (Birgit's friend) on Google chat



Jason made fresh apple and carrot juice

Quinoa grain, mediterranean stir fry with smoked paprika spice and
more of that lentil salad and Jason's home made olive tapenade on toast..


preparing dinner... peeling garlic

getting the stones out of the olives to make olive tapenade



post dinner nap

serving dinner

having Sarah come over for dinner : couscous and mediterranean
stir fry, cilantro, lentil salad with balsamic vinegar and olive oil..

pictures from London and Liverpool

LONDON

on our last trip to London we had cake in Shoreditch (a trendy square in London)

all the pictures are in jumbled order, but here we are:
on a roof in Shoreditch: these are old commuter trains, called tubes in London.
They are parked on a roof and used as artist studios and creative type's offices.

below is how it looks from across the street:
snap of Birgit

Jason and the graffiti monsters:

spot Jason playing with the massive mouse ?






on the roof with the tube-offices


behind Jason: London

oh and then Jason gave a lecture:





LIVERPOOL

Jason calls home:

The free cupcakes! And they were good!


Meeting some pretend guards:


Jason almost walked off with the guard's hat..

Thought of the day

Inspiration is born of relentless work.
If you are waiting for some sort of "inspiration" to come to you, your fooling yourself, it never will. Inspiration almost always follow work and rarely precedes it.

Two extremely tired people, Jason straight from the airport.

restaurant opened by the people who gave us Vita Organic !!

from the Stropkos

photographing Jason's lovely grandmother Stropko

with Birgit goofing in the background.. It appears
goofing is contageous and Birgit now caught the bug.

Roger Pepe S. and Birgit miss Jason...

Roger not soo keen to say hello, perhaps a little shy

caught his attention
and these are Birgit's ugly new socks (you know how they
come in a pack of 5 different patterns and one pair is always the ugly one..)
