So, here we are, tumbling rapidly into the next year of the New Millenium, and what are “we” about to do? Kill Saddam Hussein. Very sensible. Very grown up. Very 21st Century. Very “let’s not learn any lessons from previous experiences”.
I confess to be somewaht staggered by the notion that that is as good as [...]

This applies both to Chriatmas and to the shop. We moved out on Christmas Eve. Four hours of solid labour. People still coming in to buy even though it was all laid on the floor, which was encouraging, but it was a great sucess. I learned lots and we sold well.
The General Public are an [...]

We are now the proud owners of a long lease on a shop. How great.
We went there yesterday, to collect the keys and to take measurements. It has always been full of builders and builders things, up to now, so it was great to see it clean, painted and empty. Very exciting.
Now the fun starts.
I [...]

We are waiting to hear about the lease on the shop going through today. It is somewhat stressful, as a period in my life. Reality is interesting. Living sober and not drowning any feelings makes it all rather huge. I find I am woken in the mornings around 4am by the dogs and I just [...]

I took my son to see We Will Rock You the other night. He is 8, and loves Queen. It is amazing how it transcends all ages, their music and their energy. We had to park far away and walk all the way up Charing Cross Road at high speed as the Christmas traffic was [...]

An interesting thing is happening. I feel as though I am becoming another person. Sitting in the shop, running the shop, smiling and organising it, re-stocking and tidying is a pleasure, thus far. Unexpected but true. I like the discipline of it. I like the stillness and the separation from the usual speed and intensity [...]

We had an evening of Yogis here last night. It was delightful and amusing. There was lots of laughing, but also moments of reall bliss. We did a fantastic meditation at the end to a piece of music that I know really well, but had never truly heard before. I was transported completely and have [...]

This is all new to me. I think I am doing quite well, but lunch is totally thwarting me. I cannot find anything I want to eat from the myriad of cafes and restaurants in the locale of Northcross Road. I am a princess, I know, and am used to eating a big lunch, and [...]

Life is busy, the shop is quiet.
It makes for realxing days, sitting getting thoughts cleared and new ideas worked out, but can be a trifle tiresome. I love meeting new people. Everyone is different. everyone reacts differently, wants different things…… always makes for an interesting time. When there is no one it is rather sad [...]

We had a great palmist here for the day yesterday. There was a stream of visitors both temporal and etheric. It was great fun and we will do it again. He has a real gift and is very generous with it. Everyone who saw him was elevated and enthused to move towards higher paths in [...]
