Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!
JeroenLuminous beings are we, not this crude matterNetherlandsVeteran
The weather has been stormy and cold the last week, high winds and lots of rain and temperatures around 10 degrees. Autumn has definitely arrived, the week before it was still a relatively balmy 23 degrees, but instead of coming from the south and carrying Mediterranean air it’s been coming off the North Sea recently. Hohum…
Just had a meltdown. Tried to do a bit of work on my website. Could not get into the web design software. A furious tirade of angry frustration ensued. 🤬
Good thing I am on a luxury retreat. Hopefully the wrathful Tantric deities will calm me down 😤🤐🫠
Well it is, we almost had frost in October, that’s pretty unheard-of here. Clear skies and winds from the north tend to bring these very cold temperatures. But the weather here has been more unstable the last five years or so… in the past it was the Jet Stream bringing warm air and seawater from the Americas and without that Europe would be a lot colder, but there is talk that climate change may destabilise it.
Due to being enlightened, I also did morning meditation, half an hour of mixed exercise and cooked myself a mostly vegan breakfast. The pearl barley only took an hour to cook.
Yesterday I over exerted myself at an outdoor gym but learned what needed attending to this morning. 😎
The morning meditation included humming in mostly Buddhist styles.
Anyway I am off into the virtual worlds, to rescue the Bodhisattvas of all dimensions, religions and times. It's a hard job but everyone can do it… EVENTUALLY! 🧘🏿♂️🧩🗽

Has anybody been to China recently (after 1st July 2024) ?
There's a new law where Chinese security police can check travellers phones ?
It was an Aotearoa morning this morning (Aotearoa=Land of the long white cloud )
The sun trying its best to break through.
I am on luxury retreat. YinYana Buddhist style.
It is hard going soft. So far am doing very well. Thank you karma.

I hear ya @lobster ..
Working with technology which (so they tell you) has been designed to make life easier can be quite a frustrating experience.
Well it's up. up and away, I fly out today...
It’s raining… but it’s warmer than it has been, we had nights of 3 degrees C in the last week, now there is some water falling from the sky.
Sounds bloody cold ...

I guess I'll be op shopping for warmer clothes when I arrive...
Quangzhou is meant to in the low 30s, which suit me just fine, but I'm only there for the day...
Well I am reasonably calm again.
Even managed to add a pic from my location…
