Terence McKenna had a point, the laws of physics could actually change and how they change would be impossible to anticipate. Who’s to say they haven’t changed before from a previous state, the Big Bang for instance? How about this, there was a complete transformation of the laws of physics all those billions of years ago, about the time of the so called “Big Bang?” If so it would be impossible for us humans to perceive how the Universe was actually created and would leave no thread of evidence to what existed before… ring any bells?

I had an interesting post to write as I made a comment about something somebody said tonight that got me thinking, only I forgot the original statement. But the answer was, “This is why I take what religious people have to say with a pinch of salt.” Have you ever been in a conversation where you know the other party is talking crap, but you don’t argue with them through common courtesy, professional interest, or because you actually like the person and don’t want them to think you’re an arse? This deviates a little from my original script, I do listen to religious people, and I do listen to politicians, and I do listen to the right and the left, I read China Today, Aljazeera and Reuters, as well as The Times. But I am on the fence, Iran are dangerous, and having seen Lybia’s Gadaaffi infront of the UN? well what can I say?!!! One of Notradumus’s interpretations were that some mad twat coastal with the Meditteranean will be the first to use a nuclear weapon. Iran (or North Korea) maybe developing their capacity to produce a nuclear arsenal for their own purposes, Iran have quite clearly dictated the eradication of Israel. To be honest, if I was an Israelie, I would be shitting my pants, but who’s to say they wont sell their warheads on to rogue states, if the price is right.

An interesting week, 50th Wedding Anniversary set up and Party, Yve and Colin’s party, Then a bit of a nosh up and drinks at Mum and Dad’s to celebrate the surprise arrivals of Saturday night, Uncle Eddy and Sandra with Rachel, Flynn and Oscar from Ozzy. Tuesday a day off work (wonder why?) and that evening the first of my mathematics course. Wednesday back to work a bit bleary eyed, finish early to walk up to the Conquest Hospital to do a sleep study, walk back to work following day again half asleep. Thursday evening just chilled with my family in front of the TV and an early night. Today I’m awake I think, although late for work I am here and relatively alert but that can all change. This afternoon shops, need stuff to complete set up of new TV etc., this evening paint front room, tomorrow set up HiFi and TV maybe put up antenna.

‘Most of the things we have been told to do might make us feel better – don’t use plasticity shopping bags, turn off your lights, insulate the house, etc – but they won’t make any difference. Global warming has passed the tipping point, and catastrophe is unstoppable.’
James Lovelock,
Inventor of the Gaia Hypothesis.
‘At the onset of the twenty-first century, humanity stands on the verge of the most transforming and the most thrilling period in its history. It will be an era in which the very nature of what it means to be human will be both enriched and challenged, as our species breaks the shackles of its genetic legacy and achieves inconceivable heights of intelligence, material progress, and longevity.’
Ray Kurzweil,
Technological Futurist.

I have the following week off work…YAY!!!! But I must use the time productively, I had a week off at the beginning of August and did sod all, another factor is that the Landlord rang Wednesday and wants to do a spot check, six months is approaching so I guess it’s to be expected although I can’t help feeling that someone in the street has said something even though we have kept our noses clean and not caused any problems (at worst Joe squirted his water pistol at next door’s car), this may stem from past tenancies I’ve had the privilege to endure. Not a lot needs doing, I have drilled a hole in the front for satellite coax and I need to pin up the cable and seal the hole, also a big lump of plaster dropped off inside that needs correcting. Tidy the garden a little, nothing drastic, I have the feeling the Landlord’s bought this property from new with a buy to let mortgage popular at the time and have never lived here, it’s basically the original decor and the garden is practically all backfill and impossible to dig over without a JCB. So their interests are purely financial and I suppose they just need to know we aren’t moving in illegal immigrants or having camp fires in the living room before they renew the tenancy agreement. Anyway I’m off to B&Q for cable clips and a few other bits and pop into Maplins for a F type connector and a box to put on the wall.
I see Chain is building antennae, I need to build another 2 meter jobby to put on the roof something I hope to do this week, if Chain is back from lands afar I could ask him to help with testing and setting it up. Right must get on with my to do list, bfn.

Here’s daughter number 3, Ava Mae Leman so tiny and fragile I worry constantly. It’s been a long and tiring journey for all involved but it is more or less at an end only to begin a new one with a more certain future. This time last year I was contemplating a miraculous and radical change in my life to help release me from the rut where I was trapped, I considered working away either abroad or the West Country or signing up with the VSO to do voluntary work in a foreign climb, another probably more realistic notion was to take on the responsibility of my Daughter and her friend and move into a new home. I never dreamed I would become a Father again, I always wanted lots of children but with the right person. That radical change, albeit unexpected and inconceivable this time last year, has run it’s course and I am now in a new life with a fresh pattern for the future and people to share that future with.
