And here in Darjeeling I have asked the Buddha to help everyone today. And if the beauty of his Darjeeling temple, and the smile on the Buddha's face are anything to go by I think he will be there for you all. As he says: clear the mind, be peaceful, think of nothing. If something bad appears wrap it in a bubble. Think, I have seen the bad thing, I cannot change it, so I let it drift away. Serenity. Not easy but worth a try. Sorry connection here so bad can't even get smilies to download. ,
Darjeeling.... great place I drove there from Thimphu when i lived in Bhutan... Sikkim is great too if you can get there... I love the whole region
Pelling via Namchi tomorrow. Then end of week we arrive Gangtok. Just need the fog and clouds to clear to get views of the big snowy fellow And just to add to your memories Yorkie fried and steamed momos for dinner tonight
Evening all. Big outage on the network today over a large area. Only just had our line restored. No idea what went wrong, but a friend 10 kms away had phoned Orange to see what was going on and was told it could be down for most of the week. You forget how much you rely on it until you haven't got it.
Morning all, I have an internet connection today so can tell you it is grey with rain showers and a blustery wind. We might see the sun this afternoon. I need to get some slug pellets down as damp yet warm conditions seem to get the little blighters out, and they have a liking for my young and still tender plants.
Afternoon all from a dull and breezy Weston-super-Mare .Just home from the hospital with fairly good news. The consultant says he found no new growth and things are looking good but he can't be sure until it has been examined in the lab. Certainly feeling much more positive now.
Morning all, Showers again making it difficult to get the things outside done before the weekend when I make my trip across the Channel. My fall out with O2 continues. Since January this has been an ongoing issue when I cancelled my contract with them due to their incompetence. I keep getting e-mails from them asking me to phone them about refunding the money they owe me. Every time I speak to someone on their premium rate phone line they tell me something different. I would hate to be in a customer non service department when you have irate customers on at you all day.
