Hi Ms London,

Thanks for the info on the simplyfying life thread, I haven't seen that so will check it out later. I went on a weekend course which was an: introdution to meditation, it was at the Tara Centre in Derby.
www.taracentre.org.uk
There are other centre's as well if you google.
Definitely no alcohol though. What troubled me was that some people could not go two nights without a drink and escaped to a local pub. They might as well of been on a jolly to Blackpool, it defeated the object totally.

It was very calming though and nice to be in a bubble for a little while.

They also do a summer festival which seems to be popular. I do like the principles they teach of treating all living things kindly and being aware of ones actions. Drink does definitely not play a good part in those. I do have a beautiful buddha that I brought, quite tall with a lovely pose which when I looked it up was a teaching one. Like I say I am work in progress.

So take care and let me know if you go on any courses?
Love and light xxxxxxxxx

Thank you, will have a look & let you know.

Me Too.How sad are we.

I sent the dancing bananas in an email to my DD2....She says I am totally mad.
I wrote an email to DD1 inserting pictures instead of words wherever possible.
This is what I now do with my time.

Ok, have successfully devised a dummed down version of my signature, but the original had some suitable smilies in to make it more humerous, but it doesn't seem to like it. Any thoughts gratefully received. Lurkio sir?

Gonna try and analyse my drinking this month. Should be interesting.:rolleyes:

No more tonight, apart from a hot chocklit (already failed on the give up chocklit for lent front...:o ) but as I mentioned earlier, there were a couple of cheeky ones at lunch time after the rugby coaching session:cool: .

SO night, night peeps and sleep well. Tomorrow (as they say) is another day...
