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

My lovely new phone went belly up recently.
After having had it supposedly fixed, I've found that all my old contact details (not to mention my diary dates, including birthdays! ) have been lost into the void.



So if anyone's reading this has my phone number, please text me with yours!

Technology is wonderful when it works. I try to keep paper backup of anything important.

Haven't seen you around for a while. How is your little one now - not so little I guess?

Take care, I hope you recover all your contacts soon, and thanks for the lesson for us all

Oh yus: back up = essential!!! I learned that the hard way when my last computer died

Are you still dredhed etc @ yawotsit for email? If so, i'll email you with my details.

Love to the little'un!

Sent! I just hope it's not too early.

gah, technology.

Hope it's now all sorted out, LSF!

My munchkin is now nearly 16 months and is full of snotty cold.
Just thought I'd share that with you all!


Yup, still at the same email Terri, although I don't get to check it very often these days.

ohmy! 16 months already?

sorry about the snot - it's a fact of life with the wee ones though.

If it makes you feel better I'm 42+1 and I'm full of snot right now too

Very dear LSF, big

Oh!! Your poor little Munchkin. Full of cold. Does she have bootees and mittens of pure wool and suitable warm wooly hat when she goes out?

Do you se that there are floods again in Mocambique.? Do you remember when we first met, there were floods ion Mocambique and there was a professor who asked us to help him.? At that time, I had information that the Kariba Dam and the dam above Mocambique)the name escapes me) did not liaise about opening their flood gates and this was what caused the flooding. I wonder if the lesson has been learnt.? AS far as I remember there was an African woman who had given birth to a new baby whilst perched in a tree above the water.!!! I wonder what became of her.

It has been a sad winter. My second brother died on the 18th of December having suffered a stroke at the beginning of December and having never regained consciousness. It has been a great shock for K. as his Uncle was special to him. Amazing that not one of the organisations that are set up to care for sufferers like the two of them have offered him bereavement counselling. In addition, his pottery tutor also died in October having fought the dreaded Ca. for seven years. So two people close to him have disappeared .

Anyway, we have been practising CBT which we both find very very rewarding. But I feel I am getting too darn old to be doing this!!.

with much affection, and a gentle caress to your little munchkin.

btw, Fynn

how are you treating your wee ?

Hi all


Lovely to hear from you Christiane.
I have to say that my munchkin doesn't have pure wool bootees and mittens, but she is now sporting a lovely poncho that I recently knitted her!
I only learnt how to knit recently, so I'm very proud.

I've often thought about the professor. I miss 360, such a shame that went belly up.


I'm so sorry for your loss Christiane. I've been sporadically reading your journals and I've felt your sorrow.

I hope that you and K are finding some peace and healing through the CBT.


Much love and

Hope you're feeling better Sho!


I've been giving Lilith homoeopathic Pulsatilla for her snotty cold. It seems to help her grumpiness, but she's still blowing snot bubbles.

don't you think it's odd, though, that rivers of snot only worry grown ups and not the ankle-snappers?

teaching them to blow their noses is always a laugh though

The only thing I ever manage to get the Gruesomes to agree to when they have colds is a bit of inhaling (#2 sometimes won't have the Karvol, so she gets Tea Tree Oil instead) and sometimes a nose spray.

But snot is a fact of life with wee ones - so you might as well get used to it!

Lilith is mostly fine with the snot, apart from when she's trying to feed. Poor love can't breathe properly then.
Sometimes she runs up to me and says "noe" and points at her snottiness when she wants to get rid of it.
Very cute in a kind of way.


Homoeopathy seems to quite popular, but I guess that's because it's based on sugar.

My dear LSF,

Thank you so much for your lovely posting. Clever girl learning how to kniwt!1. and I must say that a poncho is very difficult to knt!!
Hope that munchkin's sniffles are better.

I could not agree with you more about the lost opportunity for 360. It was such a wonderful innovation; but somehow it did not "fit the bill" Whoever made those rules. !!

Are you still travelling a lot, or have you settled down?

Last night K. and I had a discussion about time. He asked me if I felt that if went by fast.

I told him about one of my lectures when we were discussing the concept of time. I had explained it by saying that timee was something that went very slowly when you were yong, but very fast the older one got.

Thank you for your understanding of our loss. It is so very strange that even in a family chronic mental illness is so misunderstood. I wonder why.

A gentle cuddle to munchikin,
With affection
