Selenite: Or Netflix or nagging
I think I know someone who's going to start looking into Buddhist retreats
I went a Buddhist retreat between Malaga and Alhaurín el Grande a few years ago, I'm sure I mentioned it to you before. Had a great time, it's even got a swimming pool.

bodleing2: Just had a positive result from a covid test, so the weeklong retreat I'd booked at a Buddhist centre in the Lake District is not going to happen. Ten days self isolation instead.

Can you link in via video call, or is technology out of the question ?

Hoping you get better real soon. hug

Thanks. Yes it can be attended online. To be honest I'm surprised it's going ahead, I'd almost resigned myself to not going the way things are.

KarloradoFL: Bodeling, I was wondering if you're all caught up on your immunizations? I got my moderna booster a few weeks ago along with the flu shot at the super WalMart. I just read today online that the moderna booster works on omicron. I also have been taking 1000 mg of vitamin c with rose hips everyday for the past 2 1/2 years. Never caught anything but did have a few digestive problems in the past 3 years but due to something I ate that did not agree with me, (Taco Bell, Zaxby's, Moes Southwest Grill).
Thanks Karl, I've only had one jab, that was back in January, still not fully recovered from that.

It seems to me a wonderful area to live. Amazingly cheap bus travel also.

Thanks KN, I was looking forward to it but I guess many people have had their Christmas plans turned upside down this year...again.

Yes absolutely wonderful! Where I live is way smaller than Alhaurin though which I prefer as I don't like large towns...

I made it this year to see my family for Christmas.

Last year was the first year ever not going home - didn't see my family for a year. Glad to be able to travel again and hope this blows over to go on with life soon!

I hope you will enjoy Christmas nevertheless. santa waving

A few of us walked from the Buddhist centre to Alhaurin along a back road. Found a nice bar with a veranda overlooking the main street. It was being run by two English gay guys, in fact one of them asked if my friend , Neil was my partner, turned out it was very much a gay bar.
