You should get out more, Lobby... (says the nearly-70-year-old grey dame, who mostly stays at home with her mother! 😆😆)

Re: Funny Stuff
A great mystic died. When he reached Paradise, he asked God, "Why was Jesus not born in the twentieth century?"
The Lord God started laughing and said, "Impossible! Impossible! Where would the twentieth century people ever find three wise men or a virgin?"

I had an interesting vision last night while going to sleep. It was of a temple, made out of smooth grey stone with columns decorated with white, black and gold symbols from eastern religion — things from the I Ching, I saw a mandala, I think there was an Aum as well. In the middle of the temple there stood a huge carving of my head, with an expression of laughter on my face. The statue was laughing so hard it was crying tears of laughter, it was a bit wild.
Whatever you're having, may I have some? (I know what you Dutch folk like! 😆)

Re: Blessings
...From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly, so that you will come to know the value of justice. I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty. Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time so that you don’t take friends for granted. I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either. And when you lose, as you will from time to time, I hope every now and then, your opponent will gloat over your failure. It is a way for you to understand the importance of sportsmanship. I hope you’ll be ignored so you know the importance of listening to others, and I hope you will have just enough pain to learn compassion. Whether I wish these things or not, they’re going to happen. And whether you benefit from them or not will depend upon your ability to see the message in your misfortunes. ~John Roberts

It's gonna rain!
About ruddy time! We've had the most marvellous 2½ - 3 weeks of unseasonably warm and sunny weather! True to form, people are bemoaning the bright, warm, sunny weather, stating 'we could do with some rain' and if it comes, give it 3 days - and they'll be moaning they want the sun back!

Last night I drunk my first morning coffee at 3 am. I promptly fell back asleep at 4 and slept until 7, which means I wasn’t totally wasted during the day.
