Blog has enjoyed the rest, readers too maybe ... shredded feet fully repaired, lessons learnt, though embodiment of the teaching that whilst pain is inevitable suffering is optional perhaps worth the experience ... May and June in Stanhope marvellous as days stretch out, enabling 2 hour walk before breakfast, through the woods and over the fells ... fresh and green from intermittent rainy days ... organism settled for summer, occasional minibus driving with the elders, thoughts of sharing process of exploring the Nature of Reality with others ... maybe at the Land of Joy next month ...
A winter adventure in a different culture takes form in the imagination department, wherever that is located, probably in the brain, whilst the skin votes for Sun and summer temperatures. .. Sri Lanka perhaps the destination, with 30 degrees on offer and UK Foreign Office advice not to visit an added attraction ... neighbour's granddaughter recently reluctantly recalled ... a K retreat centre right there in Colombo ... let's see, plenty of time to decide ... before that 3 weeks of volunteering at Brockwood Park, supporting the 50th Anniversary Reunion ...
Today is an indoor day, with persistent rain set in ... 2 hour wet walk before breakfast probably enough exposure to the elements, a reminder of epic wet days from the Camino. .. an attachment having so far fallen away, at least the routes in Spain and Portugal ...
And for any readers wondering about the random post about the Google Shop in Sunderland a few weeks ago: having delivered passengers to the theatre in Sunderland and with a few hours to pass before returning them to Weardale, a wander through the shopping centre, observing palpable poverty and distress, the Google Shop, set up, they said, to help reduce the digital divide, with basic IT skills essential for most jobs these days ... plenty of staff on hand and few customers meant an interesting hour addressing tablet related issues, including the unhelpful barring of certain sites such as the Bank for online transactions as well as the loss of photo upload on the blog ... the pic and post was the result, though whether the problem has been solved longer term will be tested with this offering, with a lovely photo from Sunday's sunny outing to Cragside to see the blooming rhodedendrons and elder daughter, though not in that order of priority, obviously!
Well, rain has eased and organism requests outside wander along river to enjoy the extra energy after all the rain ... politics tomorrow perhaps ...
