Well it’s taken a whole week to get here, but finally Friday has arrived again. I know we should fill every minute, of every day, with sixty seconds of gainful employment, but doing that doesn’t stop me being pleased that, arguably, the best day of the week has put in a much appreciated appearance at last.
The weather looks like it’s going to be pants over the weekend, but that can’t stop us having fun if we are determined to make the most of our days off. Cycling looks to be off the to-do list, due to the heavy rain predicted, but there’s plenty more to occupy our time.
With a full agenda already pencilled in for both Saturday and Sunday, tonight is going to be a post birthday drink with Mishy, with the added promise of a vegan pizza thrown in for good measure. Tomorrow is a BVV lunch at the Salad Centre in Boscombe. That was to be followed by a BBQ on the beach, but that too has fallen foul of the predicted inclement weather.
It has been a funny old week, but having realised that I was wishing the days away, put me in a good place to boost my life-energies through chanting and that raised my life-state. Being in one of the higher worlds really does put a sunny outlook on everything and everyone, so I hope you managed to join me, and that you too are going to have a really great weekend.

There are now over five hundred people following my blog, so I need to think even more carefully about the things I post.
Living on the coast, it can get very foggy at times, to the point where you can’t see your hand in front of your face.
There is an expansive life-state of profound, secure happiness, that transcends any material or social advantage.
Some people are always ‘up’ for things, they walk around with a smile and a spring in their step, they are Radiators. Other folks always seem to wear a frown, they look as though they are carrying the worries of the world on their shoulders. They never seem to have a good word to say about anything, they are the Drains.
Many things happen in life. There are joyous days and times of suffering. Sometimes unpleasant things occur. But that’s what makes life so interesting. The dramas we encounter that are part and parcel of being human.
