Running in heels?!

163Mandolingirl @163Mandolingirl (1052) 21 Jan 12

Why do the folk who make our TV cop/coroner/ME shows insist on dressing their female characters so inappropriately for their jobs? We've had to put up with long-haired, big-chested women wearing uniforms that are two sizes too...

Preparing to move house

163Mandolingirl @163Mandolingirl (1052) 15 Jan 12

I cannot believe how much I have accumulated since I have been a householder. I used to live in one room, with very few belongings, when I lived on a school compound in S. India from 1978-1981. It was blissful not having to think...

Does sound-meditation work for you?

163Mandolingirl @163Mandolingirl (1052) 3 Jan 12

One of the small unpaid jobs I do is to write book and CD reviews for a UK spiritual magazine. I am allowed to keep what I review as payment in kind. I am presently checking out a sound-meditation CD. I was really looking forward...

Do people still write statements by hand?

163Mandolingirl @163Mandolingirl (1052) 31 Dec 11

I was watching an old UK cop show yesterday and was curious to know if witnesses still write their statements by hand. Given that a lot of people can't even spell or write a good sentence to save their lives now because of the...

This is crazy weather in the South of the UK!

163Mandolingirl @163Mandolingirl (1052) 28 Dec 11

My Roses are still blooming. I've had Nasturtiums up until the beginning of December and the Fuchsias have just gone over. Even the little wrigglers in my worm-bin haven't put their night-caps on for their Winter nap yet! They're...

The street isn't dirty outside the Police station!

163Mandolingirl @163Mandolingirl (1052) 27 Dec 11

Unfortunately, I live in a very dirty town now which is not helped at all by the high winds at certain times of the year. Although the bins in the town are quite well protected, unspeakable bits of rubbish often fly out of them...

Things versus Love

163Mandolingirl @163Mandolingirl (1052) 15 Dec 11

Why do we feel we have to buy expensive presents at this time of the year, which a lot of us can no longer afford, to show our love? Love is showing how much we care for and support someone. Not buying them things! One of the...

Thank God for the Poundshops here in the UK!

163Mandolingirl @163Mandolingirl (1052) 13 Dec 11

Our local Poundshops are always heaving at this time of the year. In this financial climate, who, without a good job, can afford a modern Christmas? Our energy bills are so huge now that a lot of people are 'energy poor'. That is...

Can I really change my life?

163Mandolingirl @163Mandolingirl (1052) 8 Dec 11

As a deeply spiritual person, I do believe that we create our own circumstances in life. I dearly want to move out of my dirty, noisy, polluted town into the peace and tranquillity of the countryside, where most of my friends...

Extreme penny-pinching. Can you take it too far?

163Mandolingirl @163Mandolingirl (1052) 2 Dec 11

I watched a UK TV programme last night about several families who live to save money. One of them, a wife and mother of two, saves vast amounts of money by using coupons and vouchers more than cash. Now that's fine by me and good...

Inappropriate slogans on T-shirts

163Mandolingirl @163Mandolingirl (1052) 4 Oct 11

As I turned the corner into my road after my shopping trip today, I was confronted with, to put it as kindly as I can, a woman who was definitely no oil-painting wearing a very garish and unsuitable T-shirt on which was...

The wonderful and much missed John Denver

163Mandolingirl @163Mandolingirl (1052) 3 Oct 11

I was poking around looking for a bit of music amongst all my bits and pieces when I came across an old 'Leaving on a jet plane' song-sheet I had bought, and played from, in the 1970s. Of course I had to listen to John again so I...

Birth-weight determines future health

I saw a fascinating UK TV programme last night about a 20-year study of low-birth-weight babies and how their health had been affected by poor nutrition in the womb. The study, carried out in countries throughout the world, is...

The trade in illegal butterfly capture must be stopped!

163Mandolingirl @163Mandolingirl (1052) 5 Sep 11

I was horrified to see, on a community TV programme last night, the way that gangs of illegal butterfly traders are teaching local farmers and their children, in various countries, how to identify, catch and kill not only...
