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

Don’t Predict The Future - CREATE It !

Good Morning and Merrie Meet Welcome to today's blog! "Flat Calm - next stop America" It is a beautiful, blue sky day and as you can see in the photo the sea is a wonderful Flat Calm. It is at times like this when living in North Devon has significant plus points that come into play. The crowds have diminished, the roads are much quieter and safer and we are able to enjoy the late Summer Sunshine in comfort. This weekend is #3 with friends and the caravans, it is also "hopefully" the last one we will spend with a leaking shower unit. If I am lucky, I might get some time to write a few forward posts for the blogs, get some lyrics on paper for the latest album I want to record PLUS get some more photographs up on the Moor. BUT THEN AGAIN - I may do none of those things and just CHILL! We will have to see. Anyway - whatever you choose to do with your weekend make it a great one and enjoy oooOOOooo Thanks for being there and thank you for reading this post! Please...

Hi and welcome to my Personal Blog. Let us begin with an apology for the missing couple of day's posts, but these days were taken up with hospital visits and also our Wedding Anniversary (Sept.28th) 47 years ago I married Alison, the love of my life! We were married by Rev'd John Flory in the Parish Church of St.Chad, Patchway, Bristol and then we had the reception at Stanshawes Court Hotel, Yate, Bristol. It was a brilliant day celebrating with family and good friends and then it was followed by a Honeymoon in Paignton. Life then rambled on quite happily although there were a few ups and downs, there were some fantastic moments plus a few horrendous ones, some comedy and some tragedy. We have been blessed with 2 brilliant daughters who make us so proud and a little boy who didn't actually make a successful transition from womb to world but he is still and always will be our son. Eventually after navigating the twists and turns of life's journey we ended up livin...

18/11/22 Anger - Something To Be Aware Of!

Anger - something to be aware of! Anger is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong. Anger can be a good thing. It can give you a way to express negative feelings, for example, or motivate you to find solutions to problems. But excessive anger can cause problems! Anger is a natural reaction that we experience if we feel threatened or frustrated. It is the first emotion that we experience and the last one we learn to manage effectively. Human infants begin to really display anger as early as 4 months old, and then as we get older we spend the rest of our lives denying it or suppressing it as a troublesome emotion. There are believed to be 2 main types of anger:- Destructive anger and Healing anger Destructive anger is expressed in an unhealthy way and causes harm. For example, a person may act out aggressively towards ot...
