On Thursday a good friend and I went to see Lucy Spraggan live at Manchester Academy.
We had a great time and Lucy was in great form. She also performed my favourite song of her’s balance:

Yesterday my good friend Simon and I went to visit The Druid’s Temple in Yorkshire. Not a real Druid’s temple, but a rather pleasant structure built around 200 years ago. The folly was built to give people jobs so that they could feed their families.
Essential Information
- The is no charge to see The Druid’s Temple, but there is a charge for parking.
- The Druid’s Template is about a 10 minute walk from parking, uphill, so might not be suitable for people with mobility problems.
- There is a Cafe with toilets near to parking.
Blog soon,

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Theodore Roosevelt
I love this quote, so with this quote in mind: I have done a candle magic spell and set up a crystal grid:
The crystal grid (photo above) includes a Lapis Lazuli point, two red Tiger’s Eye crystals, two regular Tiger’s Eye Crystals and three Carnelian crystals. Centre is a blue candle for healing.
I need upcoming nasal surgery to be successful. I need to feel healthy again, in order to be happy and return to normality.
My very best wishes,
Antony

My Royal Navy Friend
My dear friend Roy decided to follow in his family’s footsteps and enlist in the Royal Navy.
I wanted to maintain our friendship, to continue to support Roy, to make him laugh and to entertain him. So I came up with the idea of sending him a weekly email on random topics.
These emails were on a variety of topics, always being entertaining, sometimes being interesting, sometimes funny and occasionally being serious.
Topics included: Jokes, Puzzles, Inspirational Quotes, Future Technology to Be Excited About, How to Fight A Shark, How to Woo A Turtle, Some of the Most Amazing Jobs in the World, Facts About Castles, Do Aliens Exist?, The Kindest Humans, A List of Cakes, 13 Weird Body Facts, 20 Super Space Facts, Ancient Egyptian Curses, 10 Weird Olympic Games, The Great Emu War of 1932, Quiz: Flags of the World, Legendary Characters from the UK and others.
My Royal Navy Friend is a copy of these emails. In total, there are 52 emails. Dispersed throughout the book are also Royal Navy facts and stories.
