Even by my standards the amount of water trouble ive had this week is staggering. There have been 9 instances of faults resulting in our private stream fed water supply failing. Tonight the shower has stuck on wasting water we don't have and even on turning off the main stop tap I see it has leaked a little. Tomorrow a man will blow his top and will get a taste of his own medicine after he has repeatedly diverted our water...the beat goes on...

Sucubus ?

Ive got to admit that since Christmas I have felt exhausted. Its nothing new as Winter days have always affect me this way, but this year was different somehow. I actually said to people that I felt like I was dying inside both mentally and physically. As I was really starting to worry and think about going to see a doctor I had the most disturbing " dream ".
   Basically I felt a smothering evil entity gradually pin me down in my bed in the dream. The weight would not let me move and I was filled with panic. I have dreamt of this before, though very rarely so ive never given it much thought. My instinct said to remain still however unpleasant this felt. I managed this for a few seconds before struggling violently and shaking the said entity off. But when it suddenly formed into a person I know well, I was very alarmed, even though said person told me in the dream that they were helping me fight the force..... Mmmmm......?
  Next night I remembered a visual ritual that I had read about that protects a person as they sleep and I must admit after running through it in my head I awoke next morning feeling so much better and have continued to do so. Now the interesting part is said person suddenly appeared exhausted in real life. I'm not sure what this all means but the crux of the story is I'm feeling much better. While googling " Sucubus " I came across this familiar picture which is purely coincidental, but today I'm finding it quite amusing....

Photo or portal ?

This is the second digital photo which I have taken where something has appeared on it at a later date. Note the green / pink lights and spectrum of colours that are to the right of the tree. Even the vague images that are contained in them if you zoom in extremely have moved sideways from their original position. Why are digital images so corruptible ?

Solve the 3rd world water crises, get pissed and help womens rights in Africa...all at the same time !!!

Matt Damon seems to have jumped on the band wagon of celebreties who feel the need to enhance their own kudos by supporting a worthy cause. I wish they would just stick to acting and maybe improve  the " block buster 2 films they star in instead. I mean he even keeps a straight face here... Truth be told the film industry has nothing new to say and is in decline long term. I guess like all people in the public eye they know how to re-invent themselves ?

Irish Rebellion

Today I attended my neighbours funeral. It was an emotional affair. As the coffin finally left the Church an unusual choice of music was played. The bawdy Irish folk song The Wild Rover. As the congregation sang along to the lyrics printed on the order of service I raised my eyebrows alright. With references to wild times and drinking it clashed with the previous atmosphere of a Church funeral. In fact it was sung with a hint of aggression, defience and rebellion against the sad death of the deceased. I don't think I will hear the likes of it again. I am not normally a fan of traditional Irish music but it felt like sticking two fingers up at our own mortality. Very human - not at all spiritual. Maybe this is a side we need to express more at times of grief or public ceremonies ? A life cannot be reduced to a pious Church service can it ?

A Commmon Misconception

Some views automatically loose the speaker all sympathy, but only because people presume obsession and complete immersion of the speaker in them.. Occultism, Mysticism and Nazi ideology are good examples. We are all somewhere on a spectrum on views. Some leanings are always presumed to be on the furthest end of this scale. Do you loose all patience when a certain word is used when a positive forward thinking idea is being put forward ?

Things that go bump in the night....literally.

Not had a lot to write about on here recently. I moved into my childhood home last November and was expecting some strange things to happen as it is or has been haunted in the past. Nothing has happened until these last few weeks.
  Firstly I awoke in the middle of the night. While half asleep something hit my bed so hard that it reverberated and shook. Being half asleep and scared witless I put it down to my wife turning over in bed, but that looking back that explanation is just a bit ridiculous, and I think fear just forced me to accept this and I was in shock. I quickly fell back to sleep ( very strange ) and didn't really think about it until a few days later. Something hit that bed very hard.
  Secondly a few days ago I was laid awake in bed one morning and something under the covers moved up my leg. I cant put it any plainer than that. It was surreal. I suppose it might have been a spider, but it felt more like the brush of a hand or body part. I cant explain it.
