Still no notification of posts.
and
mixed feelings
certainly different.
sort of quiet without all that activity going on

Watched "Cashmere Maffia " while sipping a chilled glass of Chardonnay thus emptying the bottle from the weekend.

I can still smell the garlic chilly from stir fried fish and veggies. Almost as good as prawns. The memory of Johanna's garlic chilli prawns yesterday lingers on.

For a while there my left nostril was totally unblocked.. that's garlic and chilli for you !

Chassy asked me about 'l'heure bleu' early on so it got me thinking and I found myself waiting for that time between sunset and night time when the quality of light is so special... blue .. the blue hour... a magical hour.

Googling lead me to Guerlain's perfume 'l'heure bleu '

I have worn this fragrance , though not very well
" One summer evening, Jacques Guerlain was overcome by intense turmoil. It was the suspended hour, the hour when the sky has lost its sun but not yet found its stars. Everything in nature is clothed in a blue light.
L'Heure Bleue by Guerlain: an emotion which this perfume alone is worthy of expressing.
The curves which stand out on the upper part of the bottle show the influence of Art Nouveau.
The stopper, in the form of a hollowed-out heart, is a playful allusion to the romantic pre-war years."

My favourite scent has always been Shalimar

"hhalimar is a fragrance to excite and express desire. She who dares to wear it, is asserting her femininity and ultra sensuality. Hers is carnal seduction – at the frontier of the forbidden. Shalimar gives her the freedom to express her feelings and desires – relating to her perfume with the utmost in passion.

Wearing Shalimar means surrendering control to the senses.

"

YES .. that's moi .. until recently when I switched to " Insolence "

"
My INSOLENCE is an utterly adorable fragrance. Everything about it expresses grace, femininity, spontaneity, audacity. Its exquisite raw ingredients, its irresistible soft rose pink, its luminous bottle. At once charming and disarming, My INSOLENCE twirls and sways, dancing – so it seems – for the woman who has claimed it as her own."

Is that moi ?
I haven't totally abandoned Shalimar

So now I'm going to do the dishes and go to bed lol Oh what an exciting life. On to the world of dreams

WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT THAT MOON?

A wine bottle fell from a wagon and
broke open in a field.

That night one hundred beetles and all their cousins
Gathered

and did some serious binge drinking.

They even found some seed husks nearby
and began to play them like drums and whirl.
This made God very happy.

Then the "night candle" rose into the sky
and one drunk creature, laying down his instrument,
said to his friend ~ for no apparent
Reason,

"What should we do about that moon?"

Seems to Hafiz
Most everyone has laid aside the music

Tackling such profoundly useless
Questions.

Interesting stuff about the moon and her influence on the planet recently :

" Last month during the full moon, we experienced a very powerful influx of Light which was associated with the Vernal Equinox, Good Friday, Purim and Easter. This month, we are once again being blessed with an incredible influx of Light during the full moon. This month the celebrations of Passover and the Wesak Festival will provide an opportunity to empower the changes we are all striving to make in our lives.

Over the past week, April 12-20, 2008, the moon was involved in a rare combination of celestial alignments. These events occur once every 1,000 years. These alignments are associated with the Ascension energies necessary for our ascent on the Spiral of Evolution. They are a catalyst for Humanity’s upward shift of consciousness at a physical and a spiritual level. These Ascension energies are now being amplified by the Company of Heaven in order to accelerate Humanity’s awakening and the monumental shift of consciousness that is taking place right here and right now on Planet Earth.

To further the great empowerment of the moon’s influence at this time, there will be two Wesak Full Moons this year, another very rare occurrence. The first is April 20th at 6:25 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, and the second will be May 19th at 10:11 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Because of these rare celestial events, the days between the two Wesak Full Moons will provide Humanity with an unparalleled opportunity to empower our visions, our goals, our hopes, and our dreams.

Wesak is considered the most sacred of the Buddhist holy days. It embraces the birth, death and enlightenment of the Buddha. This year, with the world focused on the events taking place in Tibet, the collective cup of Humanity’s consciousness is providing a colossal Open Door through which the Light of God will flow in unprecedented ways to move this planet and all her Life forward a quantum leap."

Fascinating !

Good moaning
It feels empty .. sort of spacious in here.
I hear my greeting echoing around the BCUK building.

No emails from BCUK today.
Not a single one.
Must be a first

I remember several posts last night complaining about BCUK crawling slowly and pages opening reluctantly, while here things seem to be normal.

We have continued blue skies and sunshine here , which is absolutely marvellous considering our long dark and gloomy winter. I am so grateful. what a difference.

May the gremlins and glitches be sorted soon
So be it and so it is ...OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM !
