An interesting and embarrassing day! Of course woke with a mixture of jet lag and a hangover. It turns out the beer bottles here cost fifty thousand rupiah, which is about £2,20, and each one is 620 ml. A pint in the UK is about 570 ml and costs between £4 and £5, unless you’reContinue reading “Monday 30th June”

How Using Meditation Can Relieve and Decrease Loneliness
“Loneliness is just a word, So I’ve been told. Loneliness becomes a world, that’s very cold.” Chicago Loneliness is an increasing symptom of modern life.

There weren’t many girls with peroxide curls, trying their best to become fishmongers from the bounties of the river. Oh bounteous river, river full of fish! They sat with ankles and toes dipping inContinue reading “The Pool on the Hill – Seize the Son going down.”
Chapter 7 -At the sign of the Slug and Rider.
The afternoon wore on and the Sun sank her heavy head toward the horizon. In a twirl of mysticism the Sun sang, and she wants us all to know that she gets tired too and is glad of the night so she can rest. The quartet trudged south though still in high spirits. They wereContinue reading “Chapter 7 -At the sign of the Slug and Rider.”
