Irritating fucking day. Thought I was —>| |<— this close to rolling my Fujita (So did Rob). Alas I seem to have deteriorated. Rob said I was doing the component steps better than I did the first day, but somehow when I was upside-down underwater syncing them all together wasn’t coming together. I managed one roll only. I don’t want to leave here not learning how to have rolled properly, so I booked another three-hour session tomorrow. He is going to teach in a different pattern tomorrow, pedagogically, and I am going to watch a video I have for rolling, and hopefully it will all click tomorrow.
I paddled his fiberglass Impex sea kayak. It’s a lot more lively than my boat and I can lock myself in tighter. One thing I’m going to do when I get back to Singapore is put some padding to tighten up my interior so that I get more positive connection to the boat.
Tonight Lee is bringing a colleague back for dinner. I’m going to make a spinach risotto. Starter will be some combination of guacomole (I have a lot of avocados), asparagus wrapped in Italina prosciutto, or melon and prosciutto. Or all of it, I don’t know. Desert will be a shortbread pastry with some mango and custard I think.
The ISP I am using here is a piece of shit. It seems to block nearly every port I try to use. Even my flickr and picasa uploading tools are being firewalled. Irritating, but I am tired and not in the mood to get into the router and make it behave.
