Nostalgia- peace – telephone etiquette – priorities

Renegade church attender I believe there was a Vineyard Church service this morning in my Radstock Methodist Church but I had no impulse to go. The Christmas and New Year I regard as private time, reflection time such as  what should I be doing in the new year, in what way can I become a better person,  so the last thing I want is ordinary every day chat. Peace perfect peace I am more than...

Are ‘woke’ people asleep or just angry?

I have not yet caught up with my week of activity in London and with so many other things pressing I made do a summary instead of my normal daily type diary. In connection with my research work, I subscribe to a lot of services which send me news updates every day, every week, or occasionally.

Boxing Day – a quiet one

This was the time to be at home. My sister made a supply of sandwiches for a lady who goes around and feeds the homeless. We had masses of food leftover from Christmas day which we consumed. Time to pack our bags. I wish I could figure out why we sleep so badly because we wanted to sleep. I do not want to blame EMF fields for everything. I have decided to visit my sister more frequently perhaps...

Bits and Bobs day

Again, watching Al Jazeera early in the morning. It is difficult to see someone being interviewed who has lost 21 members of his family. Merely the illness of one of the people I regard as friends causes me disturbance never mind their death, expected or sudden.  If my entire family was wiped out at one go I think I would go into a state of shock. I saw a journalist say that he had lost his...
