| 23 Dec 08 | Praise to the NHS | (23 Dec 08, 10:26 PM by Caracal) |
| Good old NHS, my GP seems to have finally sorted out why I have been so cranky, tired, run down, fed up to the point of really, seriously not wanting to go on and generally being out of sorts for months and months and months. It has got so bad I was close to losing my job and all it should take is a pill a day to keep the yawns away - it will be for life but heyho, a small hiccup if it means I get some energy and enthusiasm back.

| 15 Dec 08 | Guns, whips, beef..........and bruises! (4) | (16 Dec 08, 10:20 AM by Caracal) |
| Ching ching - a text arrives. 'Fancy coming clay pigeon shooting on Sunday'? My scarlet-taloned fingers flew over the keys in a very definite YES PLEASE. I've been hibernating for way too long and needed to get out into the fresh air to blow the cobwebs away. Then came the offer of food and hospitality as well – oh my goodness, an invite to West London with the awesome foursome AND a roast beef dinner, well what can a Caracal say but I'll be there.

| 14 Apr 08 | Energy (7) | (2 May 08, 6:39 PM by LadyMidnight) |
| Energy - funny old stuff isn't it. I ask you to define energy - you can feel the results of the output of energy but can you define it? Is it tangible or an elusive slippery ethereal thing? Energy powers everything we do, we convert food into energy to live our lives, harness fossil fuels and those from renewable sources to power our society but do we really understand 'energy'? I transfer my energy along my beloved snake whip in a reciprocal exchange for mutual benefit, that wonderful release of endorphins for the recipient and the resultant boost of power for me. I know that when I use my energy [more...]

| You arrive at the station and I meet you on the platform, we walk along the road to my flat. We are just chatting about nothing, knowing that there is an undercurrent of tension following our discussions and emails over the previous few weeks. I let us in and you follow me up the stairs. I take you round the flat so that you know the layout. You put your weekend bag in the bedroom. [more...]
