TV Vamp

I've been to Hampshire, somewhere off the A303 to visit Her Loveliness the NC, a school friend whom I hadn't seen for 19 years. Funny how with some people we can just pick up where we left off, the years and mental age dropping away effortlessly.

I'm sure NC won't mind me saying that she loves television, especially programmes where 80's shoulder pads are evident. I'd forgotten how addictive it is - television, not fashion: if I'm not careful the flickering screen draws my eyes in and with its invisible powers locks them on. Of course we didn't actually watch tv - it was there playing gooseberry to our grape juice (fermented). I obviously let go as I woke up slightly dehyrated(!) and I'm glad, for it was a truly fun evening. And I really did enjoy intentional television watching in the morning, sitting in bed, balancing my breakfast plate on my lap - such a rare treat! I think NC was offering contrast to what she called Hippy Camp, my next port of call.

Onwards to the outskirts of Glastonbury to locate the Dawn Star...

Although NC catered for my diet (thank you) I ate a little wheat whilst at camp, and since. I'm ok with this... for now. I've ordered "Clean" as recommended by NB of integral-dynamic.blogspot.com and I have a healthy lunch date with my new and inspirational friend next month - hurrah!!

Aum xx

  2. Haha, how many is "some"? I haven't had a television for over two years - we just watch movies. Also no newspapers, very little radio and no on-line news pages. I feel comfortable in my bubble of ignorance!

    I've ordered the book only, which I'll read cover to cover before I commit..!

    Me too :o)) xxx

  3. Lol - I watch the BBC food shows, like Masterchef etc - can't help it, I'm such a foodie and I get some ideas and inspiration from them ;-)
    And I watch my bollywood movies online too, can't do without them :-)
    No newspapers, no radio and very rarely online news.....I haven't had a television for 6 years now and I don;t think we'll ever get one in this lifetime!!!

    Enjoy the book, it really is one of the best books on detox and cleansing today :-)
