A day of shame
I went to the chemist for a prescription. As it happens they are positioned next to my doctor's surgery. Whilst waiting I noticed a woman complaining that her daughter was in extreme pain and had scars and blotches...
Just finished my 10th ZOOM meeting this week
Slowly but surely I am adapting to life without many real social contacts. I guess we have to survive to live but whether it is a good thing is questionable. Am I over adapting? I look forward to the meetings and each...
Sainsbury’s vs the unmasked raider
So off I go to our local Sainsbury's in the middle of the day to refresh our stock of bread and wine (not for communion). When I enter I say that I am exempt from the wearing of a mask. Instead of the nice lady there...
A visit to a ghost market in Wells
Saturday is a bigger spend day because we go out. Off to Midsomer Norton market. The bread person was not there due to a medical operation. We went to our fish stall. Deliveries of fish were very limited due to delays...
Fish and chips haute cuisine
So we decided on a whim to go to lunch at Hartley's Kitchen for some fish and chips. Now these are not your average product. They are not cooked in fat but I guess butter. The batter is very thin and edible. The mushy...
The day I met an expert on toothpaste (yes, really)
So off to have my stomach ultrasound scanned at RUH, Bath. Members of the staff are fussing about masks. I got on and put it on (no choice here) . I was told three times to cover up my nose. I basically ignored them....
Low tide – the ups and downs of human nature

So much is happening. The rate of scandal / repression / discrimination / crookery is increasing by the day. How much more punishment does the world have to take before people start thinking and claiming their God...
I am rich beyond my wildest dreams – not
Dear owner I am Mr. James Dee, Head Officer-in-Charge, Administrative Service Inspection Unit United Nations Inspection Agency in Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Atlanta, Georgia. During our investigation, I...
Watching TV – is it worth it?
I have not watched Mainstream news since March 2020. No, not one little bit of it. It is a lie - a disinformation and propaganda machine like no other. I view Russia Today. However, for whoever is interested, this is...
Lessons learned – with some pain included.
I gave what I thought was a fairly decent lecture last Saturday week as I mentioned but recently I got a very critical email from someone who made all sorts of comments about me including my lack of spiritual...
Travels in North Devon
We left last Friday to see a group of kindred spirits living in a communal house in North Devon. I was able to do some psychic readings on Saturday and Sunday and a talk on the Saturday night which was apparently well...
