WE DID IT!
Us two mad mares did it! We set out to do the 6 mile course over the Malvern Hills with a view to making it the full 10 miles and in the end we completed what turned out to be 13 miles!
We are exhausted and are both suffering with our feet and calves (amongst all the other aches and pains) but complete it we did and in the course of that I earned my Diamond Duke of Edinburgh Award and we raised £376 for two very deserving causes and the beauty of it is that with Just Giving, we can continue to add to that total.
If you haven't already supported us then please, please go to https://www.justgiving.com/remember/387946/Keri-Jones and make a donation to either (or both) of those causes and help us bump up the totals even further.

Keri's Rainbow
Merry Meet!
Much has happened since I last posted a proper blog entry here and I know I have been absent for a long time (my last proper entry was in 2012) but life took over, then I lost my login information etc. Anyway, suffice to say, much has changed not least of which is that we have re-patriated and are now back in blighty and living in Sheffield.
As a result of the most major of those changes, myself and the indomitable Katy (my partner in all crimes past, presant and future) are undertaking the 18th anniversary 6-10 mile walk over the Malvern Hills in order to raise funds for the joint causes of Cancer Research and The Diamond Duke of Edinburgh Award in memory of my beautiful daughter-in-law Keri Jones (Nee Cunningham).
For the full story and links to donate to either, or both, causes please go to https://www.justgiving.com/remember/387946/Keri-Jones
and give as much as you can even if it's only Fifty pence. You know what they say.......Every little helps!
Blessed Be and many thanks!

The 'Heatwave'!
I don't know if i'm missing something but my son was talking to me this morning about this 'heatwave' we are 'suffering' and he said "what we are now calling a heatwave used to be known as SUMMER!".
This made me realise that I am not alone in thinking, what is wrong with the people of Britain, they spend the whole time moaning about the cold and the rain etc; and then after two - three weeks of the very weather they've been complaining about not having in this country, they start moaning and saying they can't cope with the heat, when will it end, we desperatly need rain......ad infinitum!
Only last night I read that an umerella company is having someone do raindances to try to make the rain fall (okay, so they have a vested interest there!) and people are desperate for them to succeed.
Yes, we have had high temperatures and yes, it is hard on the elderly and very young and people wo are very sick and that means that we need to get better prepared for the summers again. You know, carry fans, get cooling systems for indoors, wear appropriate clothing etc.
Make your minds up please people, I know it's hot but what do you expect if you want a summer!

Kanji tattoos are not always what they seem.
The world of tatoos is not one I am involved in (though I do know a tatooist or two and have many friends and a son who have them) but it is fair to say that in the spiritual community many people do have and will have tatoos of a spiritual nature and that a high proportion of them will incorporate Kanji scripts and even Gaelic.
For years I have said that people who have Kanji script tattooed on their bodies need to be careful as, unless you can read and write in Kanji how do you know that what you have permanently placed their isn't just a rude word, or something other than what it's meant to be, or worse something really offensive to those that can actually read it!
Well now it's official!, the article posted today in the DM online shows the results of being stupid enough to have this done without properly researching the word or phrase you want to have placed on yourself.
Don't get me wrong, while I personally wouldn't ever have a tattoo, I respect another's right to choose to do so and I respect their right to chose to have one in a language different to their mother tongue, but for goodness sake have the good sense to research it properly! It is not hard to get proper translations of a language nowadays, just pop into your local language school or go to the library and read a few books on script or ask a trusted friend of that origin to check it for you (don't, for goodness sake be foolish enough to just blindly put a script or any foreign language from a greetings card or ornament on yourself)
All it can take to change the whole meaning of some of these words is something as stupidly simple as changing the angle of a line, putting an e instead of an é, reversing the i and the e in some french words can completely change the meaning of the word and even inadvertently reversing a script in tracing it can do the same (as we see in Farberov's article. If this happens you are stuck with it permanently so be careful, be very careful and check, double-check and treble-check so you can be certain that the statement you are making is actually the statement you intended to make.
Two of the main things you could do is to always go to a reputable tattooist and to make sure you have the script, word etc, that you want clearly written down on a piece of paper and take a friend along to watch it going on as you are often unable to see the actual tattoo being done due to where on your body you want it placed.

items that have a tangible value for the item itself and may also be used in metaphysical rites and practices (ie jewellery, crystals, incense, candles, and books)". Now I don't know about anybody else but it is my understanding that the whole aim of E-bay is to provide a place for people to sell tangible, physical items to other people and also that as the 'Market Managers' E-bay have the right to decide who they are prepared to 'let a stall' in their virtual marketplace.
The fact is, that the headline suggests that E-bay have gone anti-witch when in fact they have just exercised their right to amend the parameters of what can and can't be sold on their site, it can only be true to say they are discriminating against us if it can be found that they are allowing Catholics, Hindus, Muslims, etc, etc to 'sell' prayers and blessings on the site.
Unless or until someone can show me that this is the case then I defend the right of those at E-bay to set those limits and I hope everyone who reads this will read the article in full before deciding for themselves whether or not they agree with me on that one.
