Just had a quick look at the site stats. Amongst other things, they list search terms that people use when they get directed to this site. Several of them are for astrological stuff and calendrical stuff – “chines calender” (presumably Chinese calender) and “2005 moon phrases” (moon phases) are two recurring terms. So, if [...]

Another Saturday…

By Val | Published: April 30, 2005
Well, here I am, faffing again when I should be working. Woke up this morning from a fairly miserable night of nasty dreams of being choked and smothered; my sinuses were burning and blocked, so I’ve got a cold, obviously. And the blocked nasal passages led to the dreams. My blood-pressure medication gives me [...]

Wedding Report

By Val | Published: April 24, 2005
Well, got back from my daughter’s wedding. The ceremony itself went OK, except that Daughter no 1 failed to turn up, having fallen out with everybody (yet again); we delayed everything for 15 minutes, but she didn’t show. But all the other kids were there and the grandchildren as well, and lots of [...]

Grrrr…

By Val | Published: April 18, 2005
Not feeling happy. Got the coal bill this morning. Ugh. And we have to get money together to go down to Preston at the weekend for D3’s wedding; we’ll be lucky if we have enough spare cash after filling the tank to buy a card. And I’m feeling under the weather anyway. [...]

A Brief History of the Apocalypse

By Val | Published: April 5, 2005
I thought that I had written a pretty definitive article on end-of-the-world prophesies, in 1999. I’ve been quite proud of my research and never let a chance to advertise it go by. However, trawling though the blogosphere today, what do I find? Yes, the really definitive list of end-of-the-world prophesies. From 2800BC to, [...]

Here is the News…

By Val | Published: April 3, 2005
…and, as the Americans would say: “It’s all Pope, all the time!” I’ve just spent time trawling through the TV news channels trying to find non-Pope news. Apart from 10 minutes of sport on BBC News24, there’s nothing. It was bad enough last week, when every news bulletin led with 10 minutes or [...]

April Foul…

By Val | Published: April 1, 2005
This morning, the Universe played a joke on us, and it wasn’t funny. Every four weeks, we get B’s pension paid into a bank account; this morning was pension payout day. So we drove three miles to the nearest cash machine, at Dalry. Get to the cash machine, check the balance – according [...]
