The familiar sounds of chanting and pinging filled the living area this morning, but it wasn't the ghost of Kemal but meditation newcomer Derek who was to blame.
Kemal frequently turned to meditation in times of stress in the House, and passed the technique on to willing Padawan Derek.
Cross-legged on the floor, Derek chanted for a good five minutes pausing only to ping a teacup with a spoon, presumably making up for the absence of ceremonial bells and cymbals in the House.
The ritual may also have been a moment for Derek to reflect on absent friends, he and Kemal developed a close bond in the last few weeks.
We're going to assume that Derek was not meditating on Orlaith's departure; it's vital to keep those negative thoughts at bay when meditating Del Boy!
