You don’t need drugs
to get high. Just blow and blow on a fire that won’t light.
The Latin Temperament
would be considerable eased if they switched from drinking coffee to drinking Typhoo tea.
Helpful-Ideas.com is now a DO FOLLOW website
I have just installed a plug in making helpful-ideas.com a do follow website for those that leave more than one comment, it means you get some link juice from mine to your own website but only if you leave comments that I approve. So if you talk about valium, blow up dolls or penis enlargement I’m afraid I can’t guarantee any extra help…..Otherwise happy to provide some help..if it works. 
Lack of human rights in Iran
I don’t usually post things unless I’ve researched them enough to know that they aren’t just soundbites from the press but from what I can see this looks genuine and the fact that German journalists are involved and in prison for their involvement also add credibility not to mention the huge amount of press this poor woman is getting.
To summarize a woman in Iran was due to be stoned for adultery, even though her husband had died. This was postponed and now a new trumped up case against her has been added which means that she can be executed today in an attempt to stop the public outcry to save her.
More information here, the more publicity this receives and the more eyes on Iran, there is a chance they may hold fire on murdering this woman….

UPDATE 4th November…reports are in that she has not been stoned to death and the sentence could now change to being hung to death instead, but at least it appears that the execution for now has not taken place.
Heaven is right here
I often listen to Radio 4′s thought for the day and mostly it doesn’t hold much interest for me because of the religious slant. However a couple of weeks ago a Jewish Rabbi spoke about life now being nothing more than a departure lounge and that heaven could be experienced here and now.
He said he experienced heaven each and every time he did a good deed, everytime he let someone cross the road, everytime he offered help and assistance without thought. The warm glow he felt he described as a little glimmer of what heaven would offer us all.
I’ve had my little glimmer of heaven this week and the wonderful thing about that slice of heaven is that someone else benefits too. You and the person you offer help to.
So go on, try it, do a good deed, because even if you don’t believe in heaven it will still make that time and moment a better one for you and someone else.
ps Just don’t offer any help to an estate agent …..they can help themselves.
Lump the Dog who ate a Picasso
Usually Fridays are busy with the children having friends over and the week-end doesn’t start for me until gone 8pm. However today Gin Gin is sleeping over and Erikita is having her first ever sleepover. I’m home alone with my Conrado.
We went to the Block House for tea. I haven’t found anyone that cooks better burgers. I had the Block House classic at just under 10 euros and it was delicious. Conrado was very happy with his burger too, even with a mouth of ulcers (too many chocs) he devoured the lot.
So I have a quiet evening. Conrado wanted me to watch him on the PS3 killing people which I endured for as long as I could without poking my eyes out with rusty nails.
So I’ve had some “me” time too. I picked up the lovely book called Lump, the Dog who ate a Picasso. If you like dogs and you like photography and are interested in learning more about Picasso the man, then you will enjoy it. It was written by a photographer who spent time with Picasso in his later years and tells through photography how a dog called Lump came into Picasso’s home in Cannes,Villa La Californie, entered his heart and his art work!
Picasso made a paper rabbit for Lump to see if he liked rabbits. Lump proceeded to eat the entire thing, thus the name of the book!
It’s a sweet book and one you can read again and again and each time you look at the photographs you notice something new.
Have a creative week-end!
