Highly Miscellaneous

1.Don't eat home-made ice-cream at tea time; it causes reflux.

2. "Psychoid" is a useful word. It describes seemingly paranormal events that bleed over into the seemingly material world. When- for example- Jung's patient was describing a dream about a scarab beetle and a very similar beetle came knocking at the consulting room window that was a psychoid event. Poltergeists are psychoid, so- arguably- are UFOs and aliens and cryptids. I learned this from Stanislav Grof's book, The Holotropic Mind.

3. There was a young deer wandering round the garden this morning- eating the shrubbery. It didn't mind being stared at through the window.  Marlowe wasn't keen- and came back into the house after scoping it with every hair standing on end.

Yes, a food heavy in fat after a meal can do that.

I need to remember this.

Reflux is extremely unpleasant.

Manolo has a terrible problem if he eats a fatty dessert in the evening. It is horrible. I've only had reflux on occasion, thankfully.

If you had been dreaming about a deer that would have been awesome.

Indeed it would, but I've no idea what I was dreaming about last night.
