How can we best fill our days?

This is the day that the Lord has made - we will rejoice and be glad in it.  Psalm 118:24 So who was this chap David? A shepherd? What kind of shepherd would know about anything really?   There is more to David than meets the eye or at least the casual glance. He was a king and a talented poet rolled into one who lived a far from blameless life.   If you want to know more, read a summary here....

The Market Day that did not happen

A Carrot produces triplets My goodness, I know that carrots come in  all shapes and sizes but this triplet home grown carrot was somewhat unusual and very aesthetically pleasing. This has nothing to do with  today's events but I thought I'd mention it. If I had been more conscientious in the past I would have taken a photograph of every misshapen carrot I have ever grown and given it a name. But...

Life and death – a circle of cause and effect? Who knows.

I am still somewhat on a high after writing yesterday's record breaking diary entry. Most days I get my ideas for the day fairly early say before 10 o'clock but today nothing has happened of any note and certainly nothing to jog me into action. I have been watching Dolores Cannon who is a very senior and well-respected lecturer and author in America. She talks about matters such as near death...
