From a lamb to a lion

2 anecdotes:
On the recommendation of some good friends, we used the home cinema room at Shreyas to watch "Lions for Lambs". Under normal circumstances it would be a difficult film to follow. Unfortunately the version we watched was Russian (I think), so we didn't understand any of the text that was shown: newspaper cuttings, TV announcements etc. In addition, we think it was a 'screener' (pirate version filmed in the cinema) as the visual quality was terrible, we heard someone cough (but we were the only ones in the room) and the English subtitles were completely wrong (we switched them off). I went on the internet today to understand it better!

I'd briefed the staff at Shreyas, via e-mail that I wanted to do the yoga lesson which is offered during the weekend, but that I was/am pregnant. So on arrival we had the very posh sounding "well-being consultation" with a doctor, who, after some questions told me instead of the normal group class he'd be giving me an individual lesson. Fine. So, I went and did the class with him. Which was a little disjointed but OK. Then at the end he said to me the killer punchline: "Ah, I forgot to tell you earlier, when you have an individual class you will be billed extra. What do you want me to do about it?"

I went from a lamb to a lion. I replied: "Don't bill me. You should have told me before the class!"
I was then so mad, I couldn't find our chalet in the grounds - as they all look the same and are situated on winding pathways! I ended up asking one of the staff for directions!

Fortunately the overall Shreyas experience was positive and I did calm down. The all veg food was excellent and massage was lovely :=) So I'd still recommend the place. PS: the feedback form, had many questions, including: "My diet must contain________". My hubby couldn't resist answering "meat"!

News update: Kinley, the water people, have just delivered on time to me, as promised! :=O THIS IS UNHEARD OF! I've had SO many problems with them in the past. I should probably go and thank the god of water, or transport. I don't know who this is, so I'll thank Ganesh, remover of obstacles.
