Early morning meander......

Nearly 6.30 am - and I have been awake for hours - the ole itchy
head started, gotta cut my nails to stop doing anymore damage
to my scalp - as I said to a friend something is really irritating
me on some level and I wish I could suss the source, most
relief gained from rubbing rescue remedy cream doesn't do
a lot for the hair but who cares if the itch stops :)
Finding something to occupy
my mind is another alternative that works sporadically!!!!
So yesterday spent the morning taking photos of the crochet
that has gathered over the past few months, and they will
start appearing on crochet crook over the next week,
a wee preview of what's to come...

Ole gordo gato likes me being around in the early hours -
he likes the company and pushes Squidge aside for my attention,
his injuries seem all OK once again
Had a very pleasant evening out at Julio and Amanda's on
Sunday - Julio's daughter from Ireland is a lovely lady and we
found much in common to chat about and we didn't need
crowbars to shift Leigh n Keef at the end of the night, but
I think a little lady called Marta had more to do with that
as she was the first to tell Del she wanted to go home.
Tuesday I went up to L E to make a start on the downstairs
the last lot of punters were extremely nice people BUT
exceedingly messy and the kitchen couldn't be left till the
third week in Sept before cleaning - there would definitely
be an infestation of something urgh..........talking of which
there seems to have been an infestation of cockroaches
in the village this year, not that I have seen any, but Del
said that the other day the road between the correos
and houses was covered with the guggers, all we have is
teeny weeny ants, which seem to get ever where even
inside sealed containers - a crumb on the worktop starts
moving within seconds - the reality of life in Spain
The Casarabonela campaign NO a la Cantera is hotting up
with pinted T-shirts now on sale - yep Del has been wearing
his with pride and letters and emails are winging their way to
the European Reps - someone has gone to the trouble of
writing right across all the roads leading into Casarabonela
"No A LA CANTERA" the locals are as against it as much
as the guiris it would seem, despite the bribes being
offered by Cox Howes Salmonds anyone ever heard
of them - be interesting to contact them directly or bring
it to the attention of the UK press. The biggest gripe is all
the toxins that quarrying cement/sand emits and of course
will be blown about over and around the village. I tried
googling the name but couldn't find anything, probably
hiding under the umbrella of a bigger company........

Del & I have been watching the new Richard Dawkin series -
much as I like the dude and go along with much that he says -
like his apparent adverseries he has some gaping gaffs -
he constantly states that we are all connected - now where
have I heard that before - ah yes the weirdos and whackos -
ie new age/spiritual philosophies - also when asked by a
religious dude to show proof - Dawkins came out with the old
religious nut about not having to see to believe mmmmmmmmm,
he did show some proof as well - ofcourse because some does
exist - I still think science is a baby and has yet to
discover/prove the real mind blowing stuff - although like
him it is scary to hear kids
saying that the won't/can't believe scientific proof and that the
indoctination of parents has literally brain washed them - the scary
bit for me is their inability to QUESTION - blind faith is a scary way
to live one's life and the funny bit is the kids who mutter about
not being related to the ape are the most ape-like............


Some signs and symptoms of inner peace:
1. Tendency to think and act spontaneously, rather
than from fears based on past experiences.
2. An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
3. Loss of interest in judging other people. . .
4. Loss of interest in judging self.
5. Loss of interest in interpreting actions of others. . .
6. Loss of interest in conflict...
7. Loss of ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom!)
8. Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
9. Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
10. Frequent attacks of smiling through the eyes of the heart.
11. Increasing tendency to let things happen rather t
han make them happen.
12. Increased susceptibility to love extended by others, as well as
the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
WARNING: If you have all or even most of the above symptoms,
please be advised that your condition of PEACE may be
so far advanced as to not be curable! :-)

"If we are holding onto regrets, we cannot move forward.........
the energy of regret is just like a riptide, carrying us out into
perilous, lonely waters far from shore.......I keep playing the
"re-runs" of the same old regrets over and over, I

cannot possibly move forward. Holding on to decisions that
I'd made
when I was younger and less conscious was holding
me back - the regrets
were taking up room that could be filled
with happiness and light, and

situations that I want to bring in. I've focused on forgiving and
releasing my past and owning that all the decisions I've made have
brought me to where I am now."[read more]
