A sunny day in Stanhope and two friends who've not yet met are expected today. Like a corny old joke the first is a Methodist and the Angel of Stanhope, the second a would-be Buddist from A Stand in the Park at Hexham.
Well, well that was quite a meeting and I've only just sat down to tea. Rather late, partly because the VitC sachets require an hour befoe eating ... and after the lunch with Dave the appetite is not great. That's roast veg and humous by the way - he's a vegan. Gillian stayed talking with Dave a good while, exchanging views of a philosphical nature and both agreed that in essence all religions are one, though hypocrisy is so rife in Christian, Jewish and Muslim countries, basically the United Kingdom these days, that the message of Christ, Moses and Mohammed the Beloved Prophet of Allah is lost. In the East Buddhists have similar issues, where Buddhism is a religion of the State. More hypocrisy, take Myanmar for example.
So, Gillian departed and Dave and I enjoyed our meal. And Gillian had left Christmas cake like a provocation for an old blogger with a sugar addiction and bravely, dear readers, I insisted Dave take it as a gift for his family. After having a small piece for dessert. After lunch Dave helped with some tasks not easily done in the current state and then we discussed deep issues of a philosphical nature for quite a while. Then couriers arrived, two packages for Sharon at no.2 and one from the elder daughter, containing the supplements she'd ordered yesterday! Meanwhile, younger daughter advised that the cordless, bagless light weight hoover she'd ordered in the January sales, was due tomorrow, meaning either two cleaners, one up one down, or more likely find a good home for Henry which has bags and a cord.
Now it's late and time for bed, wondering if Lee will visit, since she indicated Friday or Saturday.
Anyway, there are plenty of books to read, blogs to write and U.K. Column News livestream at 1pm! The health issue meanwhile gradually improves, thanks to the home oxygenation machine and the love of the visitors. Of course, in the end, all these interventions are merely to boost the Immune System in the end, hence the supplements.
Good night!
