Making the best of a (fairly) routine visit to the RUH

Okay I agree it wasn't quite ordinary because I was going to have my eye examination four weeks after my cataract operation. I dodged the showers and caught the (late) local bus to take me to the bus station in Bath and from there the green 4A local  to Weston via the RUH Royal United Hospital. So my challenge dairy-wise is to see how much I can make out of the day, how many people's lives I can...

An action-packed weekend part 2 + Rockaway Park and a farm bonfire.

'The policy is too stupid to be stupid'.  I love this quote that I have just heard from  Charles Henner via the exuberant Greg Hunter's USAWatchdog.com.  In other words, if it does not make logical sense then there is a hidden hand  that controls for motives other  than the claimed reason.

So little time, so much to do.

I have decided to write this article 'on the fly' without any preparation just to see what comes. If we believe that the prime function of the brain mind is to be a receiver and not a transmitter then in theory I should be able to receive the information I need without any left brain preparation. During the hours of 11 pm to 7:00 a.m. I have a habit of sleeping. It is traditional to sleep during...

£4.25 for a latte whilst homeward bound

Thoughts on leaving as a guest. I have known my friend John for about 40 years and there aren't that many people that I can say that I have had relationships of such duration. People often drift away from each other and although they might meet occasionally to say hello the duration tells its own story and speaks its own message. I have another friend called Gregory who I met at the age of about...
