Yesterday, got an email from a loony. A genuine one – he directed me to his web page, which set out all the reasons why he believed himself to be telepathic, a prophet, persecuted by MI5 and the police, guided by angels – and was possibly also a manifestation of Christ. I didn’t reply. This […]

Thought I’d have a bit of a relax this morning – go off to the village to get my newspaper, than have breakfast and read said newspaper at leisure. But of course, it hasn’t worked out that way. While I was in the village, I remembered that I hadn’t done any work on the Astrological […]
“I hear people say we have to stop and debate globalisation. You might as well debate whether autumn should follow summer. They’re not debating it in China and India. All these nations have labour costs a fraction of ours… In the era of rapid globalisation, there is no mystery about what works: an open, liberal […]
If you’re viewing this in Internet Explorer, I’m still having problems with IE’s blasted CSS positioning bugs. Which is why it’s looking rather odd to you. I’ll get it sorted eventually. But in the meantime, switch to Firefox and see the way it’s supposed to look! The picture in the head isn’t mine. It’s a […]
Decided on a new blog title. It’s taken from the directions that we give to visitors so that they can find us: “Turn left at the bridge, straight through the village, we’re half a mile on the left.”
Now that it’s got a new look, I think this blog needs a new title as well. Oh, Bloggitt! was a neat enough little joke a year ago when I thought it up, but I’m now getting bored with it. Besides, there’s another blog out there called Bloggitt. It’s in Italian so I’ve no idea […]
Urgh. Got to work. I’ve been called again for jury duty, starting the middle of next month. That’s when I’m scheduled to be finishing off the Nov/Dec Transit in time for the printing deadline. And when I’ll be in the middle of laying out next year’s AA web diary . And when I’ll be still […]
…is boring. I’m laying out the calender pages of the Elfin Diary for 2007 – all the dates, all the important events, all the daily astrological info, all the daily Sun and Moon times….. Urrrgghhhh….. I’m also doing the 2006 events page for the Oakleaf Circle site. It’s still all-HTML and I now remember why […]
For many pagan women like myself, the accepted story of the Jewish Goddess Lilith is one that we like to tell again and again. Adam’s first wife, she was cast out of Eden for refusing to be subordinate to him; in the wilderness, she mated with demons and had many children; God sent His angels […]
Woke up this morning from a dream about Wigan College and one of the art tutors there. Can’t remember any details, but I spent my first few minutes awake wallowing in nostalgia – it’s been almost four years since my health forced me to give up working, and I still miss the job. It’s easy […]
