Dateline: Thursday 14th October 2021

Wow! How quickly has that last week gone? The whole week seemed to be taken up with visiting the sick and infirm, helping Alison with her issues, work and attending to other personal matters. I really did not have time to turn round and catch my breath.

I had a call on Thursday from a friend (also a client) who was suffering with a back injury and during the call I did a silent Reiki treatment. On Friday she called to say that she was feeling much better so I then offered to do a full healing treatment for her on Sunday when we visited her house which she welcomed.

Unfortunately (my own fault) I did not advise her that before the treatment she should not consume any alcohol and when we arrived on Sunday she was walking round with a glass filled with a mix of wine and an energy drink. I gave her an apology for not telling her and I advised that as a result of the alcohol I had to postpone the session to another date.

She was fine about that and the rest of the day was spent in very pleasant and amicable company.

However, I think that Alison did a little too much because I was disturbed during the night by her crying from the pain in her hip (she is waiting for an operation). I told her in the morning that I had heard her and that I would cancel the visit to the theatre.

That decision proved to be the wrong one because it ended up in a very heated discussion which ultimately Alison won!

When I arrived home after work that day she was all ready to go to the gig and so because there was no persuading her otherwise we made our way to the gig at the Queen's Theatre.

Steeleye Span were amazing as usual and after the show and the crowds had dispersed we had our customary chat in the foyer with the amazing vocalist Maddy (sadly the rest of the band did not join in this time) and eventually we left the theatre to go home about an hour later.

So all in all an eventful start to this week.

So having played catch up with Diccon this morning - an old friend of mine from The Mindbenders (Wayne Fontana's band) and The Salford Jets (with Mike Sweeney).

Thank you for reading this blog!

Be safe, be careful and above all remember

02/12/22 Making The Tea - an exercise in Strategy

Making The Tea! (an exercise in Strategy) Hi It's DAve Apologies for my recent absence but family matters took over and I did not have the opportunity to write a blog post last week. Anyway I am now back again and here is this week's offering from the sometimes warped mind of Your's Truly! As a Personal Development Coach I am often asked about Goal Setting so here is my approach to that very subject:- All too often we set goals but very rarely do we create a plan of how we aim to achieve that goal. Having given the matter some thought I have defined a process and that involves "Starting At The End!" Yes, I know that seems mad, but how can you get to where you are going if you don't know where that is? What it looks like, who you are as a person........... Once you have done this the next part is to list everything that has to happen if you are going to achieve that go

Hi and welcome to my Personal Blog At 7.30am this morning I was on a mission! Image - ©2021 wytchwynd photography We had run out of black rubbish bags and the alarming way we generate rubbish chez nous means that this was a far from satisfactory situation. So whilst I was wandering the streets making my way to the local Premier store that proudly proclaims that it is open at 7.30am every morning, there we the normal people exercising both themselves and their pampered pooches BUT there were NO BLACK BAGS anywhere because the early morning shop was CLOSED! But, what I did come across was the stunning sight of the Landmark Theatre bathed in the most beautiful morning sunlight and standing against a stunning backdrop of grey clouds interspersed with patches of blue sky. I was so in awe of the sight I just had to take the photograph for this blog. ......and what of the black bags? A friendly neighbour just happened to have a spare one and saved the day! oooOOOooo Thanks for being there

Hi today is a crisp late summer day here in North Devon and I have been out and about – it feels like autumn is just around the corner. My car has now been serviced and MOT need and the bill will arrive with me soon. So today I feel that I want to give you just a little insight regarding some of the work I do…… One of my earliest productions (Musical Director) I am a therapist, life coach and musician on my own account But professionally.... . For many years I have been involved in the entertainment industry – playing in bands, broadcasting, and for the past 20 years or so I have been a senior member of a team in a company that provides theatrical drapes and backdrops plus lighting effects to the World’s entertainment industry Working with this company has enabled me to experience places that I could only dream off as a child and meeting people that I have only been able to admire from afar. However I still remember the words that my Dad said to me when I was a teenager and I had expr
