Simple but lovely.

As you like poetry why don't you add a little rhyme to my poetry chain experiment? You only need to add four lines.

The ego issue is a big one but could be helped by having peers around who share your perspective but will be willing to gently take the piss from time to time. more…

In my own wee way, I am a trouble maker too. One of my dilemmas is whether my speaking out allows others who haven't been cursed with my daredevil arrogance to come forward, or if they hide behind it As long as we know someone is out there protesting, maybe the rest of us can be comfortably quiet?

And there is always the nagging doubt more…

Reminds me of James. I used to be his 'minder' in S1 Science. He was only allowed in to the lab if I came along to protect his teacher from him. The general consensus was that he should have been in a special school. This was based on his ilegible handwriting and his tendancey to shout loudly and leap out of his seat to compensate for his tiny more…

Hi, Simon, thanks for being in touch but I fear I have too much on at the moment to virtually join your journey. Anyway, all the best.

My favourite tree is just changing colour to red.

Sadly it hasb't had the same vibrancy since it was pollarded 2 years ago, but I still look out for it. more…

I believe one explanation is the incredibly hot, dry weather we had this summer - that always makes for better colour. Oh, I am sure there is a spiritual reason too. There is a wee grain of truth in the hymn line, 'Something lives in every hue, Christless eyes have never seen'. My colour perception always improves when I come out of a depression more…

They ought to remember that more wars have been fought over religion than anything else.

Let people believe what they want without the ridicule.

It is possible to consider (if not conceive of) a form of survival whose quality is so low that it might not be preferable to extinction. I just wanted the survival assumption to be at least open to question, and not hidden,as I believe it usually is. Anyway your comment is a good corrective since I have been thinking of survival as a rather remote more…

Yup, good stuff! Survival - the rationale surely is that we want our own offspring to survive, to enjoy at least what we have enjoyed. This is common to all societies and ideologies that I know. If we make this assumption about our own descendants, the value of survival has to be granted to everyone, I would have thought. Therefore I am inte more…

The Radio 4 play (no pun intended)was magnificent. Lend you the CD if you like. Fast paced dialogue was what made it work, and the songs.

ran through K on Saturday with possible fourth generation of Macs to visit. Much more open museum than before. tourists snapping away at everything, change from old days. Good loos, places to eat, lots to explore. too many bodies there for me on a Sat however. Open air more exciting; mallards and squirrels, coots and lovers, police chopper more…
