DIVINE DREAMING HEAVENLY RAINBOWS

Well it is good to learn something new everyday and yesterday I learnt that Charlie Chaplin stated that to laugh with another person is the closest that you can get to that persons's soul how sweet is that then! I wonder what anyone thinks of this saying and this is anonymous "The best way out of difficulty is through it" Some other saying springs to mind "a problem shared is a problem halved" now I always feel that that is too good to be true indeed it is however maybe the lesson to be learnt here is that despite our individuality and uniqueness in life we can all suffer the same problems so maybe do not despair and that help is at hand well that is my optimistic view of life maybe.
On reflection regards my choice of title well one talks not I I hasten to add about Internet Landscape so maybe my choice of title dreaming heavenly rainbows could be seen as poignant and to the point and I cannot believe that I am in fact even saying all this incidentally I achieved my ECDL last Summer though I am still waiting for my certificates and log book held up by our local college held since August still I was promised that I would receive these at the end of this week feels important to have achieved this qualification now I need to find a few hours employment to justify one year of torture as I left behind my creativity in favour of hours sat in front of a computer still it kept me out of mischief and in the warm that is one of the prime reasons why in Winter it is good to attend your local education classes as this helps you learn as well as save on your fuel bills a sort of communal living.
Education is ensuring that dance classes are going to be included in the curriculum by the end of the year well my recollection of school dancing was truly minimal I seem to remember Scottish formation dances ballet pop however now we are enjoying a true Rennaisance in the Art of the Dance and that too is good exercise as well as good for the soul lightens the day so I suppose Tea Dances will be in vogue again so out will come all those frilly dresses and best Sunday shoes for dancing the Dance Craze is just round the corner Well maybe next year we could do another Dance Marathon it was done in Trafalgar Square in the Summer with miles and miles of Irish dancers Lord of the Dance and won an entry into the Guiness Book of Records.
Now what disturbed me about today was hearing Ken Livingstone on radio spouting out about 2012 so we are not going to use Lottery Money as that is precious for all those good causes out there also Studios to be used by TV crews is to be retained as permanent buildings to be reused as well as new housing stock which will create lots of new revenue and about 40p per week rise in our rates in London why us why not whole of UK and anyway if all this wonderful revenue will be raised in future then our offering from us poor Londonners will be hopefully not needed We should all unite in creating ideas to raise revenue without burdening us Londonners with this any ideas out there I wonder not a peep I will write raising people's concerns in this matter to Ken Livingstone maybe he already knows and will heed our concerns and do something to offload this somewhere else and not on us as this will benefit the whole of the UK not just London and Londonners.
Grey sunny day today a mixture of weather still cold but less so will look forward to a mild day in the morrow ciao for now

rainbows in the mind

today was one of those grey days dismal and drizzle we are in it sad comes to mind that is seasonally adjusted disorder though can overcome this if we think of a beautiful sunny day and can recreate that with artificial lighting is needed Well winter seems to be round the corner first frosts already felt nippy weather worst though are these very wet showers London is great at present with autumn colours lovely virginia creeper so colourful. Really as always too too much to do in London also on the expensive side so end up doing not much or too much still loads to do that is useful and not so expensive very difficult sometimes though would like to say so much more as usual not much time though had a good day and thankful for small mercies as Hare Krishna people would state miss their cheerfullness around the place though they are out there somewhere So much to think about and do today as everyday need to meditate all we do is a prayer so hopefully we all prayed well today would need mediation too I think that that would be helpful too rambling as I am very very tired need to rest

alexandras-dreaming-heavenly-rainbows

well here goes why you may well ask this curious title for my blog I also ask myself that question there is no real straightforward answer just that I suppose I tried so many other variations to that theme and really this was the only title that was accepted I wonder why I suppose that as logic dictates because the other choices were already taken. Anyway talking of which it is a constant strange fact with me that a certain number of projects in clay such as chime type hangings I had done prototype in my local Adult Education classes suddenly that Christmas appearedshops in Covent Garden were inundated with similar items mass produced, similarly another idea of the basic forms circle triangle square local shops and garden centres have identical ideas and again my end of term coquerel in metal is mass produced in shops as I write so what does that seem to indicate that each time my ideas have been pipped at the post and a lot of other people are making oodles well in future I should use my noodle and try to be the one but I suppose with all this modern technology information is pushed around the world in milliseconds so that is the way it is! Disappointing really reminds me of the usual school report "could do better" still it's not for lack of trying.
Now to go back to this idea of doing a blog what for still it helps to pass the time of day as if I had time and as most people we hear them state "Oh I really do not have the time!" so why on earth I ask myself that question again and again we have all supposed to have made such progress with all these time saving gadgets that we own and then what do we do with our time if we all seem
never to have time. Supposedly as now we use it on futile pursuits still so what if that makes a person happy that is the target and aim in life the ultimate pursuit of happiness and that is that.
Well enough for now as I do have other things to get on with such as searching for that work suitable to my needs and aspirations though I do work as a female a womans work is never done too true and what do we get not even as much as a thank you! Still that seems to be the female role about time that us wives charged for every task we do in our married lives I think that our husband's would no longer afford us for example if they were to call in someone to do the shopping, ironing ,cooking,cleaning,driving, children rearing, and so on and so forth but still it is not all about money though invariably it does help. So had my say what next.
Well that's all for now , must go out in this miserable weather to seek other employment and to work in my current employment whatever the weather that is how it is I really have so much to do of my own work do not ever know how to fit all I need to do in a day into a day not enough time there I go again same as ever have to be better organised I suppose or something maybe as has been suggested throw everything away and start again seems futile idea also if you do not use something for x amount of time not really needed and chuck that too seems nonesense as some sports are seasonal and items used then also camping do not use that gear until want to go camping and so on it all amounts to space as husband states only have what fits into our living space so now as moved out of garage out of other situations need to sort and organise life once more to make it tollerable and livable I say so myself and need to get on with that too!
So signing off now out of blog which really at present is a recollection of ideas facts thoughts and things to do boring to the hilt but need attending to else life becomes really unbearable. Keep looking out for those heavenly rainbows symbol for peace and happines upon this earth. We once saw a triple one was absolutely amazing if I can find digital photo will post it (do not know how to as yet but will ask) I suppose this blog could be construed as a sort of personal shared diary of sorts not too personal mind superficial idea maybe but then gives everyone in the world a chance to see themselves in print is that the idea of this kind of pursuit is it a trivial pursuit I wonder! "Do not adjust your minds it is reality at fault!" and so is this very very late and mild autumn thankfully so we do not burn holes in our pockets and waste precious fuel true all we need is that woolly hat and thermals tip of the day to save on fuel bills and it works and plenty of hot drinks.
