weather for putting feet up
2008-08-31 20:27:00 Sunday 31: I shouldn?t be surprised that alistair darling now adds pessimism to his (and g brown?s before him) management of the economy. The defeatism is bad enough, but now brown wants to make the beleaguered taxpayer fork out for defaulted mortgages. Why? I lost my home and money the last time and got back ...

mostly on the up
2008-08-30 15:41:00 Saturday 30: Praise be! Went to see Ma and she was back to her smiling happy self and didn?t once ask to go home. And the sun is shining. More annoying are NandDs who seem to think my life revolves around their plans and then resort to making sarcastic comments (?done your duty for the day?) ...
at last, summer
2008-08-29 21:45:00 Friday 29: In military parlance, what do you call someone who draws fire in order to distract? It seems to be something I do frequently and most usually for someone with whom I have absolutely nothing in common. Still, if it serves a higher purpose, I can handle a little ridicule. Went to see Ma who ... More About: Summer
busy doing nothing
2008-08-28 18:06:00 Thursday 28: Not being an artist who can ?churn ?em out?, pricing artwork can be an inexact science. Realism might sell regularly but abstract artwork, which I suppose some of mine come under, seem to have higher prices. On the topic of realism, many artists remove or add elements to complete a picture ? so ... More About: Busy
who loves slugs?
2008-08-27 19:34:00 Wednesday 27: More in the ?quality? press about magnets. Low level magnets may have placebo benefits, but electro-magnetic stimulation ?can have some interesting and useful effects on the brain?. Scientists are using stimulation of magnetic fields for a range of conditions, including depression. Who is to say whether strategically placed magnets cannot have the same ...
should have stayed in bed today
2008-08-26 21:10:00 Bank Holiday Monday 25/Tuesday 26: To err is human, to forgive, divine. One of the NandDs tells me I have a forgiving nature. True. I might roar, but I also forgive. But, in my book, forgiveness does not mean being walked all over. It does not mean being railroaded by suppliers. Yes, I am clever with ... More About: Today

2008-08-26 11:27:00 I am having technical problems. Gmail being used for spamming my entire address book. I don’t know how it happened but, if it has affected you, I am truly sorry. Euphrosene technical problems, Gmail, spamming More About: Spamming
strangers and other sentients
2008-08-24 21:51:00 Sunday 24: Was definitely struggling to stay awake this morning, not helped by aching muscles from one and half hours of planting yesterday. Had to resort to metaphysical solutions as I think some of the zap is to do with Ma despite not going to visit today. She told me that one of the NandDs ... More About: Strangers
guilt and auric holes
2008-08-23 21:30:00 Saturday 23: Here?s a curiosity. The nursing home is about five miles away and generally takes about fifteen minutes to get there. So no driving-caused drain (on energetic levels). I have been unable to drink red wine for several days (and don?t drink any other alcohol now). Yet last night I felt wiped out. And ...

master number hassles
2008-08-22 20:12:00 Friday 22: A Master Number day. Greeting Ma in her new nursing home in Worthing. A quick glance at Google Reader and there is a Digg link to the Large Hadron Collider: Scientists are pushing ahead with powering up the machine, shrugging off speculative fears that it could destroy all life on Earth by sucking ...
uncertain certainty
2008-08-21 19:51:00 Thursday 21: If one could live permanently in Self, we?d be physically dead. The trick is to bring some of the utter certainty and wholeness in those fleeting moments in to the constant consciousness. In rather a roundabout way, I would like to bring back that unshakeable artistic certainty I feel, especially when I see ...
handling cancers
2008-08-20 20:32:00 Wednesday 20: Cancer is a major issue with our family right now - one NandD is having skin cancerous cells removed on Friday and Ma has a pancreatic version. Grandma L died of breast cancer and I was once diagnosed with a shadow on mine. (I never went back and am fine now ? not ...
selective memories
2008-08-19 19:40:00 Tuesday 19: As someone whose combative chip fires into life if I am taken for granted, I can definitely recognise the symptoms in others. Like someone close to home who takes it to a whole new level with stiletto sharp invective, or some in this close who seem to be perpetually at war on some ... More About: Memories
hot steamy August
2008-08-18 20:23:00 Monday 18: On Saturday night, to tail a week of under par health, I had a bad reaction to something I ate. After taking a diarrhoea tablet, I dozed off on the sofa, periodically waking because it was horribly cold. At midnight, I turned on the central heating just to get some heat into the ...

MPs work hard - spending public money
2008-08-17 20:14:00 Sunday 17: For someone who is not a sports fan, I have unceasing admiration for the long hours and hard graft sportspeople put in to achieve their dreams. Says Rebecca Adlington ?There are tmes when you don?t even want to drive home, because it hurts so much.? At the other end of the scale are our ... More About: Money , Public , Work , Hard , Spending
when dreams drift
2008-08-16 21:04:00 Saturday 16: The real magic ingredient to success is having unshakeable self-confidence. People like Tracy Emin, who thinks she is a ?great artist?. The foot of doubt never blocks their pipe of abundant flow. Many might disagree, but she, and others like her, never appear to have a moment of uncertainty. While I never doubt ...

potential for abuse of power
2008-08-15 17:23:00 Friday 15 (Feast of the Assumption ? and date of my First Communion): Part of the Golden Key exercise is to not think of the problem but to think of God (ie whatever we believe God to be in all aspects). To a football fan, it is some bloke kicking a ball around a field. ... More About: Abuse , Power
when now is not the place to be
2008-08-14 23:01:00 Thursday 14: The power of now is a spiritual nonsense in my view, when what is important is mindfulness. After all, there are going to be times when now is a pretty miserable place to be, but, in mindfulness, we can acknowledge that particle of infinity within and it definitely helps. It gives me, at ... More About: Place
trust but still question
2008-08-13 16:48:00 Wednesday 13: Live in the now? Preferably not. The (small) Premium Bond win is pleasant, of course, but there is a howling gale which exfoliated my face in Worthing this morning, pondering Ma?s future, sibling grumbling, and now the council has sent a letter to nine houses including me, about a sewer obstruction. Someone had ... More About: Question , Trust

2008-08-12 19:40:00 Tuesday 12: Ah! The Glorious Twelfth.. killing for sport is rather unevolved but this day sticks in my mind for other reasons. A guy called David, on Tahiti beach at St Tropez several lifetimes ago… That?s all you?re going to get for now. Re care homes and my comment about participating: that naturally did not include ...

what makes a relationship?
2008-08-11 14:25:00 Monday 11: The number 8 may be lucky to the Chinese, but in numerological terms it is the number of extreme success ? or extreme failure. And the weather is definitely not on their side, despite firing rockets into the clouds, to stop a rained-off opening ceremony. Still, you have to hand it to them ... More About: Relationship
marketing never stops
2008-08-10 14:32:00 Saturday 9: The NON-magic words ?Huw? and ?Edwards? and, quite honestly, most BBC commentators at the best of times, had me turning off the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony. I love pageantry and events like these but cannot abide the endless meaningless gasbagging. And, yet again, I have found a blog post after my heart: ?The commentators ...

when good deeds turn sour
2008-08-08 18:13:00 Friday 8: Just as well I subscribe to those useful old chestnuts of ‘every day is a new life’, and ‘never give up’. They help me get over the issue of ?time? (remember the Svami Purna quote?) As long as I am breathing, I will never give up on my good desires although they may ... More About: Good , Turn , Deeds

2008-08-07 18:47:00 Thursday 7: And yet more on magnet therapies ? from Science News: ?A new wave of therapies can exert a magnetic hold over disease?literally. The therapies employ powerful, roughly spherical magnets to help kill carefully targeted diseased cells and nothing else. … Under the influence of an external magnetic field, the magnetic particles will warm ...

having it all
2008-08-06 20:23:00 Wednesday 6: Those who denigrate some metaphysical ideas seem to have no trouble taking at face value, scientific theories about black holes, the age of the Universe, what is at the centre of the Earth, even carbon dating. Yet most of these are estimates based on assumptions. Who was keeping records then? Even if carbon ...

2008-08-05 19:23:00 Tuesday 5: Going to sleep around 1am and waking at 6am (with aid of alarm) is not my preferred working MO, but something promised needed to be finished, and I did not realise it would take so long.

only spiritual pygmies hunt for sport
2008-08-03 18:33:00 Sunday 3: One of the benefits of self-awareness is that I often know when energy becomes blocked ?

2008-08-02 20:40:00 Saturday 2: When Jill Dando was murdered, the emotional ripples from Princess Diana?s death seemed to affect journalistic integrity or so I thought at the time.
