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

OH MY DAYS - it is almost April !!!!! - where has that time gone?

Hi it's DAve and thank you for joining me on this page............... I cannot believe that it is 4 (yes FOUR ) months since my last post on here. That is so remiss of me and I can only apologise and start to rebuild the regularity as we go forwards. The calendar for this year is starting to fill up quite nicely which is good - we have Easter in early April followed by a wedding in Tavistock a couple of weeks later (sadly for me that actually clashes with an event I was going to be supporting (doing short coaching taster bytes) and because the bride is a long standing family friend I have no alternative but to attend. In addition I have been looking into different ways I can do something slightly different and as a result I have been writing some short stories (only 5 words) for example "Alone in the darkness she wept!" or "Yester...

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 g...

08/09/21 "Casing The Joint!"

Hi everyone it's DAve Thank you for joining me on today's blog post. Today is Wednesday and I really hope that it is less hectic than yesterday. After a full day at the office and with Alison confined to bed after a very disturbed night I had to go to Barnstaple after work and collect a replacement fridge, because the other one "bit the dust" Photo: "Three Suns" ©2021 wytchphotog The photograph featured above almost got me into trouble........ I spotted the reflection of the sun in three different places at the same time and because it was an unusual sight I decided to capture the image - well people thought I was "casing the joint" and they threatened to "call the Police" until I explained what I was doing and showed them the image. Because of the water situation at the caravan we checked with Tina about her impending visit at the weekend and her response was a very definite "of course I am coming to our caravan, why wouldn'...
