h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hiya,

Just had to send you a quick message.

I've just read a brilliant book I thought might appeal to you!

Barbara Erskine, Hiding from the Light
Its all about witchcraft at the time of English civil war
I've read a few of her books and they're all magic

Hope you're okay

Have a nice weekend
Mysticdreamer

Hi there Mysticdreamer...
Hope you are well... Personally I'm having an "off" day, but it'll pass, nowt to worry about...
The book sounds wonderful hun, but I don't really read that many novels.. I don't seem to be able to consentrate long enough to digest it... I'll bear it in mind though...
I've no plans for the weekend, just being lazy and chilling out with a glass or six of vodka... lol...

Take care..

Hi Paganmoon
Have been on hols, but back today
Hope you're feeling better now
I know what you mean about reading, you have to be in the mood.

Did you have a nice Easter

Hope all well

Take care

Mysticdreamer

Good evening Mysticdreamer,

Easter went fine thanks.. Didn't go anywhere, wasn't really in the mood with one thing and another.. Maybe have the odd day out when the weather picks up..
Hope you had a good time on your hols.. I was going to ask if it was anywhere nice, but it's a silly question when you think about it, you're not really going to go if was anywhere sh**e now are you.... lol..
Hope all is well with you, I'm doing ok thanks..
Take care..

Hiya, Me again
Actually.... didn't go anywhere hot or exotic
Went to Wales to see my folks!
Mum not well so abit stressful.
Ate too much, put on 5 pounds.
Now back at work and on a diet.
Do you do Tarots?
I'm interested in becoming more lucky in life.

Write soon

Mysticdreamer

Evening again....

to hear about your mam, hope she soon gets better..

I've given up on diets, just eat smaller portions.. Due to disability I can't exercise so I'm not really going to lose that much... Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it... lol.

Yes I do read Tarot, but I only do the odd reading these days.. It gets a bit too much for me..
I wish I could become more lucky... If I find out how I'll let you know.. lol..

Take care...

Hi there Paganmoon.

Thanks for your good wishes on my mum, she's just about housebound with arthritis and the doctors seem to have left her. Its hard being far away but my sis lives nearby.
I read on your site about you being interested in all things mystical. I always like watching Colin Fry on Living TV when I'm at home. and I used to have a book on Fame and Fortune that I used to dip into!
Sorry that you're disabled and not able to work now.
Thats very hard. I do know abit about this as when my son was 7 he was struck down with juvenile arthritis and it had a big impact on the family.

Well take care friend
Mysticdreamer

Hello again..

I was just about to go offline the.. lol..
I have the same problem being housebound with my arthritis.. I also have spondylitis in my neck and shoulders, as well as being painfull it causes me to have dizzy spells... My hubby has to push me in my wheelchair when we're out and about... I get so frustrated at times..

I've been interested in the occult for as far back as I can recall... Would never go into the dark arts though.. I've got books here on most occult subjects and divinatory matters.. I can't move for the bloody things... lol. Think I need a good sort out.. I'll get round to it one day, then again, maybe not.. It would involve movement and thought together.... Ooooh, hard work that...

Hope all is well with you... Take care...
PAGANMOON

Hi there Paganmoon,

I'm so sorry to hear about your arthritis and spondylitis,
I can imagine that you do get frustrated when you want to get doing things and feel you can't.
I'm sure your hubby is happy to take you out and about.
Its not the same I know, but 3 years ago I had a nasty accident and was unable to walk, just came out of hospital and we had planned a holiday with the kids, so decided to go. Had to take a wheelchair for me and some crutches which I couldn't master at all.
He was really good and pushed me everywhere, along the prom, in the park, to the clubhouse. You know I'm not the lightest person on the last day he did his back in, I had to give him some of my painkillers
I can see that you love books on the occult. I hate throwing things out too.
Funny actually, when I was recovering after my op in hospital, a woman in the bed opposite me said I had a big aura! I thought she was mad but it turned out she was a clairvoyant!
What a lovely weekend it was.
I hope you were able to get out and about abit.

Keep in touch

Hi again Mysticdreamer....

My hubby is happy to do his bit to help, and he's 10yrs my junior, bless him
He says he loves me no matter what.... And between me n you, I'm not the lightest of people too.... lol. . Well I've put weight on since I stopped smoking about 18 months or so ago, which coincided with me being wheelchair bound, so not much exercise, but hubby doesn't care about that... He say's just as long as I still love him... And I do....

At the moment I've lost the plot... I've nicked hubby's Darkness cd, oh to be 20 years younger, I'll give Justin Hawkins a run for his money.... lol... His brother Dan's not bad either.... Wey hey hey...
Ignore me, I'm at a funny age.... lol....

Take care and chat soon.....
PAGANMOON aka Sheryl.....xxxx

Hi Sheryl,
Its nice to put a name to a message!
I think your hubby sounds a gem -glad that you're so happy together. Age is just a number thats what I say.
I had my birthday two weeks ago, next year will be the big 40.. My hubby is 5 years older, but says he looks years younger.
Better humour him!!!
They annoy us sometimeswhen they're hogging the TV watching football or always saying to the kids ask you mother! but what would we do without them!
Mine has got the flu at the mo AKA a cold and is expecting some tender loving care. but I'm too tired after a day at work, cooking and wrestling with the kids to care.
I'm not up on music these days, must be my age
Will ask my 13 year old son about Darkness!
Just had some badnews, my motherinlaw is coming for a visit.
Last time there was war.
So may be off my head in the weeks to come.

Lovely to speak,
Keep in touch

Love Mysticdreamer AKA Margaret!!

Hi there Margaret

to hear about your invasion from the inlaw... As you know, I don't rate mine very well..
How's you hubby doing with his snotty nose?? lol.. They can be such drama queens at times..
Mines been busy mowing the back lawn again, seeing as it's finally stopped p*****g down.. We've had a bit of sunshine today, but not as warm as last weekend.. He's also part cleaned the car, part cleaned as the hoover packed in.. Thankfully it was only a fuse..
I'm out of touch with the music of today myaelf.. At one point, years ago, I knew everysong and every band/singer ect... I watch the music channel now and again but I'm no bloody wiser...

The Darkness are a young band who hail from Lowerstoft.. They consist of the Hawkins brothers, Justin, frontman and lead guitar, his brother Dan, joint lead guitar, Frankie Poullain on bass guitar and Ed Graham on drums..
Their latest offering is "Love is Only a Feeling"... You may remember their Christmas record, "Christmastime, Don't Let The Bells End"....

I actually sounded as if I knew what I was talking about then... lol..

Chat soon... Take care..

Hi Sheryl,
It was lovely to get your message, sorry I haven't replied before!
I've been soooooooo stressed, she's coming tomorrow,
and the house is in a right state. On May day we went to B & Q to buy a hanging basket as ours is dead. don't laugh.
When we got home he said the wallpaper near the window in the living room is peeling back abit, I'd better stick it. Next thing while I was watching John Cusack in Serendipity, he is gorgeous, I heard a rip, he had taken the whole strip off, saying I think we'll redecorate.
So now, there is one and half walls painted and all my books are on the floor in the dining room, I got paint on my favourite skirt yesterday and I don't really like the colour much (wild primrose)!
He's left it far too late, and I broke all my nails last night scouring the kitchen.
Sorry to go on!! Must be giving you a headache.
How are you and family?
Hope you had a good May Day, it poured here.
Thanks for the update on Darkness, I did see something in the paper about one of them being a bit of a headcase? I will have to listen out for their music, like you I used to know all the latest bands, but somehow I've lost all my knowledge, and feel quite out of touch!
I feel abit like Shirley Valentine at the mo? Do you know what I mean?
Lots of love
Margaret

Hiya Margaret,
I don't envy you one bit luv, I hate all the upheaval of decorating.. No wonder you're stressed, all that and the mother-in-law..
Here, have a to calm your nerves.. lol..

The bit you read in the paper was probably about Justin, he can be a bit (a lot, lol) mad at times.. You should see some of the outfits he wears, tight catsuits and the like.. They don't leave much to the imagination..
Their music is based on the 70's type glam rock.. If you like Queen then you would like some of their stuff, although some tracks on their album do have a few choice words in them... lol..
I know that Justin was waiting for a throat op., but I haven't heard anything else about it.. I do hope it goes well for him..

Hope the inlaw doesn't cause you too much grief.. You could always hang her with the hanging basket... lol.

Take care luv.. Chat soon..
Sheryl...xxxx

Hi Sheryl,
Thanks for your message. Well, I can't believe its Monday again, the weekend was ruined as I guessed. Friday he went to the airport to pick her up and said that he'd left a mess after he'd finally finished the decorating so I had to leave early to get the place shipshape. Unfortunately my husband does pander to his mum's whims and she said she was too nervous to sleep downstairs alone, we've got a sofabed.
So she insisted that he sleep downstairs too.On Saturday I had a sick headache all day, I just could not shift, pentup stress, I guess. It went downhill from there. She's staying until the end of June, but is at my sisterinlaws for a bit so I can reclaim my house for the moment.I had to laugh about your idea with the hanging basket.
Anyway enough of my moaning!! How are you? Have you done any writing recently.
Have you seen that BBC Endofstory competition? Eight famous authors have started a short story and you have to end it! Sounds interesting. I'm going to give it a go.
Always hoping for success and good luck!

Take care, and hope all well
Margaret

Hiya Margaret..
Sorry I've taken so long in replying to you luv, I've been battling with a lingering migrain for most of the week, really threw me offside..
I'm not suprised that you had a bad head with having to put up with your mother-in-law.. How old is she??? Fancy having to have someone sleep with her.. I bet that hanging basket's looking good right about now eh.. Will she get pampered at your sister-in-laws as well?
I've heard of that endofstory thingy but haven't looked into it as yet.. Sounds interesting though.
No, I've not done any writing in a while luv, just not got the patience at the mo., can't seem to consentrate these days..
Well I must make a move, (not that I wan't to) and get a bit done around here..
I'll be in touch soon.. Take care..
Sheryl..xxxxx

Hello Sheryl,
Really nice to log in today and find your message. I thought I might have bored you to death the last time.
So sorry to hear about your migraine, they are rotten aren't they?
I do get lots of headaches myself, they seem to eminate from my neck and are always on the right side. I guess they might be stress, as loads going on at the mo, apart from MIL, we are having to compete for our own jobs at work or get made redundant! Did anything help in the end?
I went to my doctor who just said (helpfully) lose weight, its fatty tissue in your neck.. He did make me feel like some kind of freak. I don't look like elephant man honestly.
My MIL is only 64, and quite spritely, but she just likes us to pander to her.. He didn't actually sleep WITH her I should have said! Just nearby. At my sisterinlaws she sleeps with her two little girls in their room. But I have two boys and they wouldn't be that keen, she is virtually a stranger to them.
Last time, she did sleep in my youngest sons room, while he slept on the floor in our room, but since then I've bought him one of those cabin beds, with the ladder!!!!I couldn't imagine her getting up there..
You're right the hanging basket is looking nice, shame about the rest of the garden.
I know I haven't written much recently either, too much stress. Got my interview on Monday so after that may feel inspired.

Well look after yourself. Have a great weekend.
Be happy and lucky
Love Margaret

Hiya Margaret..

The weather's been lovely here past few days.. Sat out in the back garden today eating my Sunday tea...
The warm sunshine seems to have eased my neck a bit..
As for the migrians luv, nothing much helps, I took a couple of hubby's paramax tablets, (they're for migrains) and just took things easy, kept having a lie down.. It's not just the pain, those damn flashing visual distubances really throw me off...
Mine do stem partially from my neck because of the sponylitis, but I would have smacked your doc. right in his prescription pad if he'd said that to me, cheeky sod..
I understood what you meant about your hubby sleeping downstairs with the wicked lol... Not with, but same room...
Well must go, got my daughter in the bath, I'd better go and wash her hair before she floods the bloody place...
Take care luv, chat soon..
Sheryl...xxxxx

Hi there Sheryl.

Thanks for your message!. What a glorious weekend, glad you were able to enjoy the sun and it eased your neck abit. I sat under the sun umbrella too, preparing for my interview while he was planting flowers in pots. He's really got green fingers at the mo! What we need is to live in a warm climate. Mmmm. I'd really like to get away somewhere this year. Haven't been abroad since 1990! Sad or what. Never mind.
Those migraines must be hard to take, with the flashing lights, poor you. I just usually feel sick, last time I lay in a darkened room with the window open to try and ease it. I do love chocolate and cheese, so I guess I ought to avoid them? But got to have some pleasures in life.
You're right about my doc. I also suffer with a red face and flushing, sometimes its really sore and I asked him about it, he just said keep out of the sun. Very sympathetic. I do think if I was a leggy size 10, he would be more helpful.
How old is your little girl? My youngest was 8 last week, and he wanted a personal CD player, and a various artists CD. He's been singing and dancing all weekend and I'm getting to know some of the latest hits! Just watch I'll get groovy.

Well nice to catch up as usual
Write soon
Margaret

Hiya Margaret...
My daughter is 11yrs, not at all ladylike, and a pain in the arse... Seriously, she's not too bad, but she can't half have some moods on her at times..
The red face thing sounds like rosacea, certain foods and drink can trigger it off.. I would go back to your doc. and ask him to take another look, or even ask to be refered to a skin specialist.. He doesn't sound much interested in anything.. Is there any ailments he does know about???
Well with all the nice weather we've had I seem to have caught up on my washing.. I'd just been washing the essentials before as I had nowhere to dry anything, only on the radiators.. It's a bit overcast and breezy today but still dry so I've got a few bits pegged out, they're probably dry by now...
Yes the migrains do take their toll, they always leave me feeling drained.. I used to blame the chocolate, but I hardly touch the stuff these days and it doesn't make any difference, can't blame the nicotine either as I quit smoking nearly two years ago... I don't suppose the vodka helps though..
Well I suppose I'd better make a move.. Hope this finds you well..
Chat soon, take care...
Sheryl...xxxxxx
