A Grey Day not a Grade A day

I was woken by a barking dog at 6.30 am. on a Sunday morning to boot. I guess visitors let their dog out for a comfort break but the barking was excessive. I guess that the neighbors who live nearer to the dog will have something to say. We started with a promising bright morning but it was only a matter of time before the clouds came in accompanied by a light drizzle, so we decided against...

A visit to the local minor injuries clinic + Bread making success

Toe trouble Nine days after the injury, my stubbed toe is still hurting. I was worried that I had broken it.

I was prepared to walk away if there were too many in the queue but as it happens I was the only person, so after registering at the desk I walked straight in to the waiting area and...

This is probably because I don't follow the instructions...

Strange that the...

Our Shadow self – aspects discussed + words of encouragement

Eating/Stomach problems (contd) I had another difficult evening yesterday with the problem of eating late which seems to correlate with an inability to digest, vomiting, and bloating. I find it so difficult to sever ties with old habits. If it is 8pm and I am hungry I want to eat something.  It does not work any more.  Maybe the gastric juices have gone off duty. I am just waiting for a signal...
