So this is what it's come to...two letters on a merry Monday morning; one from Alzheimer's Research and the other from Kingfisher Independent Funeral Services.  The Alzheimer's Research was just asking for a donation but it had a heart-rending story of a woman exactly my age!! and exactly what happened to her symptom by symptom.  The first thing I do is to check my symptoms, memory loss certain, forgetting phone numbers just to start with and progressing along to the end game at great speed.  It must be a symptom of a character lack that I check my own memory and think about myself first and then think about the donation.

Then the Funeral Service letter which tells me that I can pay in advance!!  I can pay for my funeral at today's price and that is a benefit because it may cost more when I finally peg it.  It also says that they will listen to what I want!  How, I ask you can they listen to what I want when I am dead or listen is a mystery!  I progress from mildish memory loss to the previously described end.

So, I'll tell you what...I would like everyone who might still be around to come to my funeral to be a teeny bit sad and maybe a bit of sad music (perhaps the pacobel canon will do it) will bring a tear or two even to those who don't like me and then I would like everyone as many as care, to meditate so a still still essence wafts whatever I then am towards whatever I am going to become.

And just in case you think I have forgotten what the answer to the riddle about there being 8 Edmunds in Singapore and that without anyone else coming in by aeroplane, they would become 9, the answer is Benji Richard Arthur who arrived by stork.  Well done the abracadabra girl, it must be your magic.

abracadabra girl goes away, but the magic can stay

That wonderful abracadabra girl, the grand daughter who tuned straight into the idea of meditation when she heard it was about saying your magic word, she said she knew THE magic word and it was abracadabra.  Well never mind if it is abracadabra or something different, she has gone off to Singapore, all 5 years old of her with her 3 year old sister and her parents.  She has gone to where the grandson is, the one who couldn't resist the cake he had helped to make and took a great scoop out of it when I was out.
Anyway, 4 of them have gone to Singapore to join 4 others and with abracadabra in her mind as a magic word I think that she is going to manage to make those 8 people into 9!  Watch this space and I will tell you when 8 people become 9.

Jihadi John, Your Granny should be saying this to you

Listen Jihadi John,
You may have a band of followers now but watch out, one day and it won't be far away, all those followers who think you are such a cool boy will wake up to the reality that you are a fraud masquerading as some sort of warrior.  Not only will  you lose your youth and strength but you will end up lonely, and that's if you survive that long.  One day you will just be a little old man with shaky legs and a leaky bladder and no-one will want to come near you any more.  You won't even have the strength to cut your food up let alone cut off any heads.  If I was YOUR Granny I would be on my knees praying that the ideas which possess you and possess your so called friends will change before this happens and you will get the chance to feel so so sorry for all the misery and distress you are causing all in the name of the God who sees everyone as the same.
