I had the privilege this evening of facilitating a meeting by zoom that was the closest to becoming a role model for social and cultural meetings including committee meetings This was about dowsing and was a spin off from a rather inappropriate group organised by the British Society of Dowsers a few months ago. I have been a member of the BSD on and off for ages and have done dowsing since I...

Being conned out of £20,000 + Climate Cafe meeting

As you may know I always wait until the day before deciding on my topic. This afternoon I had a meeting with my new web designer in, where else, Wetherspoon's.

How do we write a book?
Do you write a book or does it write itself? I find that when the time is right, a book will write itself.
