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.

Bloody Awful Noise

The fields were reverting to woodland and it was going to take more than the local rabbits to stop the process so I licensed Matt to "throw some petrol at it" (his phrase). The strimmers have been racketing all day and now the motor mower has joined them. It'll be lovely when they stop.
