I just fished a bug out of my tea…then continued to drink it. Is that gross? Probably, but I didn't want to go all the way back to the kitchen to make a fresh cup. Yay for laziness!
I have a plethora of dog and dog training related books that I purchased when I first started training, but have only read 1 or 2 of them. Lately – well, the last couple days – I have been feeling pretty down about my dog training experience. I mentioned in my Jane Haul that I had finally found a new person to help me out in the training department, but, sadly, things did not work out. I am more bummed than I usually am (this is the 4th time I've lost my partner!) because, unlike the others, this guy had a TON of experience. Not only that, as there are lots of people with experience, but he had experience using the types of tools and techniques that I use, which is rare. I was learning the most interesting, effective and useful methods from him and he was getting my dogs to places on day one that would've taken me 5x as long. I got my hopes up, then got pooped on.
So, in an effort to not only make myself feel better, but to expand my dog-knowledge (as I should be anyways), I have delved into my book shelves and started some new reading material. My hope is to get through at least one work-related book per month, though I have currently started reading 3:
I am 95% finish with Lipstick and the Leash (appropriate for this blog, right???) and just started Koehler's book, which I actually bought by accident as "utility" training apparently has to do with obedience trials. Control Unleashed I had to start over – I've been "reading" this one for about 6 months now.
Do you have any good training related books that you recommend? Let me know in the comments!

As soon as Josh Smith went out, the Bucks got an advantage. We are tied at 13 at the moment. Now its 15-13. The Bucks have to get stronger on the backboards. Skiles is giving it to Ilyasova in that regard.
The Bucks simply have to get John Salmons back in rythmn. He was carrying the Bucks but has gone ice cold since the end of Game 5. Lets see if he can get hot again before its too late.

I recently read this and wanted to share it as we approach the season of Christmas.
…[W]hen a festival goes as it should, men receive something that it is not in human power to give. This is the by now almost forgotten reason for the age-old custom of men wishing one another well on great festival days. What are we really wishing our fellow men when we send them "best wishes for Christmas"? Health, enjoyment of each other's company, thriving children, success – all these things, too, of course. We may even – why not? – be wishing them a good appetite for the holiday meal. But the real thing we are wishing is the "success" of the festive celebration itself, not just its outer forms and enrichments, not the trimmings, but the gift that is meant to be the true fruit of the festival: renewal, transformation, rebirth. Nowadays, to be sure, all this can barely be sensed behind the trite formula: "Happy Holidays."
From Josef Pieper's In Tune with the World: A Theory of Festivity

Ever since I was a child I have always been amazed by classical cultures (language, literature, philosophy, etc.) Obsessed by Monteiro Lobato´s "The Ranch of the Yellow Woodpecker", and by Monica and her gang (comics by Maurício de Souza), at the age of nine I could describe with details and in the right order, Hercules´ 12 Trials, the Greek goddesses and gods, their attribute, personalities and Latin counterparts. I use to talk of Aspasia and Pericles, Pheidias and Socrates, as if they were children´s characters like Narizinho and Pedrinho, Monica and Cebolinha, the Beauty and the Beast, Mickey and Minnie.
"How does this connect to that?"
The taste for classical cultures that I developed as a child got so rooted that rather than pursuing the medical career for which I had been preparing for years, I decided instead to major in Classics and Philosophy. My passion for languages, dead and alive, inspired by "Emília´s Grammar", led me to Montreal, Canada, where the cultural salad inside and outside the classroom felt like a "Tower of Babel" theme park in city scale.
"How do your studies in Canada relate to your life in Brazil, and vice-versa, and versa-vice?"
I am often asked, in Brazil and in Canada, within and without the academic setting, what my studies have to do with my life, or with life in general; whether my education in Brazil prepared me adequately for my life in Canada; whether my theoretical studies in philosophy or
Latin has any bearing on current reality. "But you always seemed so intelligent, how come you´re still in school?", intelligent and accomplished non-academics ask me. Within academia, the expectation was often quite the opposite: "But you´re such a promising scholar, what do you mean you have a life?"
I must confess that I could never quite see the contradiction, but I used to think that there was something wrong with me, since I had the greatest respect for the people in each of these areas, academic or not, Brazilian or not. Since these were all essential components of my life, and I refused to give up on any them, I gradually started to compartimentalise my life. In this way I wouldn´t be too strident: in the theoretical work, I would avoid making reference to practicalities; in practical settings, I would avoid theoretical blah, blah, blah. In Canada, I would hardly ever betray my Brazilian origins, whereas on vacations in Brazil I´d avoid bragging about life in Canada.
But since one can never be completely neutral, I avoided talking too much. Since one can never be 100% this with no trace of that, I got dimmer and dimmer, in such a way that I was almost invisible, even to myself. Not a good feeling, that of self-invisibility.
Interplexa et Internexa
Perplexed, I asked myself: "Self, who are you?" The only answer that Myself gave me was a list of things I´m excited about, of people that are part of my life: My Self emerged in the intersection and interaction of all these people and things.
This is what this blog is about: a connecting point between things and people, ideas and experiences, country´s and languages, writers and readers, entities prima facie unrelated,
but which all belong to My Esterical Self. This blog is a combination of Augustinian Confessions, Cartesian Meditations, Emília´s Memoirs (such a modest choice of company!), Dear Diary, Platonic dialogue, Socratic agora, internet forum, clip album and other esterical chimeras without order or method, but all interconnected.
So it is then that Agora still means something – right now. Stay tuned!
P.S. The original idea was to have this blog in two parallel columns: one in Portuguese, one in English, so that my circle of readers in Brazil and in Canada could interact. But it didn´t quite work, so I created two separate pages (the system prevails once more, with its knack for separation!): www.internexa.blogspot.com in English and www.interplexa.blogspot.com. But let us not allow the system to impose a segregation here too: please feel more than welcome to check both pages, and to leave a comment in whichever language. Stay connected!

Exploration of Possible Collaborations to Strengthen Programs
Arizona Women's Education & Employment, Inc. (AWEE) and Fresh Start Women's Foundation both work to empower women through providing education and employment services. As like-missioned entities, the two organizations wished to explore the possibility of merging. The Lodestar Foundation provided a grant to hire a consultant to lead AWEE and Fresh Start through the collaboration exploration process; the organizations ultimately decided not to merge.

The fear of a fiscal cliff is a cruel hoax and a ruse. Will we ever run out of spit and baling wire?
A fascist socialist regime would like us to believe that they are standing between us and economic despair when in fact America has long since gone beyond its means and all that remains to be seen is where the hurtling through space ends.
You cannot fix America's financial problems if the root causes are not exposed fully and ended with finality. The spending these politicians are discussing represent less than the change of a $50 dollar bill that falls off the table and no one bothers to pick up. The Federal Reserve must be reined in and closed down…Dilution and interest rates on our money are far more problematic than a 2% tax hike can even smell. Government agencies like the S.E.C., EPA, FDA etc are mega problems that will spend their budgets to allow for additional growth. The S.E.C., for instance has office space and real estate holdings all over the U. S. and a monster building in Washington 1/6th the size of the Pentagon, the largest office building in the world; when they should be downsized drastically or even eliminated in favor a more efficient, unbiased way of overseeing our Securities and Banking industries. The same goes for over 100 top heavy government agencies that have exceeded their original purpose and play fast and loose with our money. In the vernacular of the streets one would say we are getting banged for our buck and no kiss to boot.
Who checks on FEMA? They are training militia instead of caring for victims of natural disasters.
A serious return to the states of government programs that the Constitution does not assign to the Fed would save billions and billions…Privatization of Social Security, health care and other programs would save many billions and improve the delivery and quality of services dramatically.
When we are ready to get serious about restoring this nation as a functioning, Constitutional Republic we will recognize the assaults on our moral and religious heritage and the Bill of Rights that are an indication of the nation being in the grips of a regime that seeks to control our economy, our liquidity and our thinking. The Constitution and Bill of Rights have become mere inconveniences slowing their agenda imperceptibly but not stopping it by any means. The steps needed to put our house in order are far more drastic than balancing a budget or curtailing a fraction of a fraction of our spending. Fiscal cliff my eye. The fiscal cliff is in our rear view mirror. We already went over an ideological cliff, a moral cliff and a Constitutional cliff and our elected officials are playing footsie with the devil denying their infatuation with failure.
Democracy in America? As far as I know only one man had the courage and presence of mind to expose voter fraud. His demand for fairness was partially met…not enough to change the desired result and sadly not enough to arouse the establishment to address the problem on a national scale. Congressman Allen West will not go quietly and perhaps his message will be less muted without the constraints of public office; not that he let that constrain him very much. We cannot however, continue to claim that democracy is working in America, when our finest representatives are separated from the herd and eliminated from office fraudulently.
Wise up America. The issues we are given to debate and ponder are not the issues that matter in the long run.
To avoid oppressive government, oppress government.

Ahead of tonight's fiendish festivities, we're taking a look at these very cool Haunted House busts.
Distributed by Greenbrier International and sold in Dollar Tree stores (for yes, you guessed it, a Dollar each) these statues are two pieces from a line of at least five busts (last year I found the Wolfman, Vampire Count and Satyr/Devil statues from the same range.) There may well be more but so far these are all I've seen.
First up is the Female Vampire.
No name is given for this figurine but given her combination of fangs and period costume, I'm guessing it's supposed to be the folklore take on Countess Bathory. It's a cool sculpt with some nice detail and the ''fake stone'' casting is particularly effective in making this piece look more akin to a grave marker than something you'd buy in a Dollar Store!
The second piece is a hooded skull-face figure I'm assuming is intended to be Death.
There's a superb sense of the medieval in this sculpt. I'm reminded of the figures of Death as seen in wood-cuttings and manuscripts, as well as those seen in Gothic graveyards.
Final Thoughts
There's really very little to add that the photos don't show. They look neat, the sculpts are cool, they're fairly solid and feel pretty weighty. And they'll set you back a whole Dollar - you really can't go wrong for that.
Definitely a lot of fun if you're a fan of the macabre or you're looking for a Halloween-related desk ornament.

Creating te wave
January 26, 2010
Creating the wave
Rapid prototyping
In the different solution possibilities I thought of rapid prototyping. This technique is used to create quick models/prototypes and one off products. After some research on the possibilities of these techniques it seems like it could be an option for a scale model. A life size model of meters is too big to be created in the machines.
For the effect it is crucial to have a transparent material. I didn't know if this was possible. But after some internet surfing I found there can also be prototyped in ABSi, which is a translucent plastic. This may work for a small model. To have a transparent effect the wall thickness can't be too thick.
Vacuum forming
This process makes hollow shapes. A layer of (clear) plastic is heated and put over a mold. By sucking all the air out between the layer and the mold a thin-walled copy of the mold forms. There are restrictions to this process. The size of the object is a factor. Also therecan't be any undercuts in the form, because the material will not follow the form and is difficult to remove.
Ice Sculpting
With ice sculpting incredible forms are possible to make. Virtually every form is possible and at any size you want. As long as you have the time and skill, or the money.
Using this techniq
ue the effect will be optimal. But of course there are some down sides; ice sculptures are very expensive and demand a lot of labor. Next to that they do not last in hot rooms. A solution would be to keep the room cold, but then the effect would be less because people could expect the water to be frozen.
Forming with r esin
I looked at th e technique o f resin forming. It is used to create a variety of shapes. The end product can be as clear as glass. I even found someone that made a waveform of it.
All the examples I found where fairly small. I don't know the size limitation of this technique, but for a scale model it is certainly an option.
Flowing water over a frozen object
I couldn't think of another possibility to create the wave, so I started googling. I found a picture of rain instantly freezing onto a car and some benches. This creates quit the same effect as the frozen waterfalls. Maybe it is possible to make a basic wave form out of a metal, cool it down to sub zero temperature and layer by layer drip water over it. Of course the same problem as you have with the ice sculpture will occur, it will melt. Unless it is cooled in some kind of way.
But I think it is more easy to do than the ice sculptures, even on full scale. But the result will be less beautiful.

I'm going to go ahead and post this today because I won't have time to do so tomorrow.
One year ago, on March 24th, this blog started up. In the past year, this blog has moved from Blogger to WordPress, then changed its name and address, and has documented a resto druid's journey from 1 to 70 and through the bosses of Kara.
Here are what I count as my favorite posts:
Guide to Outland Healing Gear 58-63 : Put a lot of time and research into this one.
Outland : Going to Outland for the first time.
The Big Seven-0 :Dinging 70.
L2P Treeform : Not mine, but it got a lot of attention.
Wild Leather Quests Guide : Another one I put a lot of time and energy into, although not as relevant as it maybe used to be.
While this blog has fallen quite silent the past little while, I'm still glad to have it to preserve the otherwise ephemeral events of this game.
One year and still going: not too shabby.

On The Convict Trail
Sunday, 5 July 2015
Mr Hawkes Academy
In April 1842, William Keeler Hawkes and his wife Martha arrived in Van Diemens Land from England on the ship Indian. Shortly afterwards the established a boarding school for boys at the property now known as Franklin House at Franklin Village near Launceston. The property was leased from Mr Britton Jones, an innkeeper and brewer, licensee of 'The William Wallace Inn" nearby.
The school was conducted in a single storey room added to the northern side of the main house. It quickly became one of the leading boarding schools in the colony, in 1847, being one of five in the north and eleven in total in the colony offering a classical education.
The school catered for an enrollment of up to 26 boys aged generally between 8 & 14 years, all of them sons of successful Launceston business men and graziers from the Northern midlands. However, the school was so well regarded that pupils traveled from as far afield as St Mary's & Hamilton to be educated there, a long and arduous journey for that period. Whilst private schools in Van Diemens Land often modeled themselves on the public schools of England, such as Rugby & Eton, and offered a classical education, many of the colonial schools balanced the classical with a more practical commercial education. Thus Mr Hawkes called his school, "The Classical and Commercial School". It became more popularly known as "Mr Hawkes Academy".
Subjects taught were Latin, Greek, Mathematics, French and English Composition, Writing, Arithmetic, Algebra, Geography, History, Logic & Rhetoric. A very comprehensive range of subjects indeed. Martha Hawkes assisted with the teaching duties and for a short period, Mr George Anderson was employed as a teacher of classics & mathematics. Fees were set at 45 guineas a year, maintaining the exclusivity of the school and much higher than its main competition, Launceston Church Grammar School, established in 1846, at 13 pounds a year.
Holidays were taken twice a year in Dec/ Jan and again in July. The hours were long, reportedly from 7am until 6pm on six days a week. On Sundays, the boys walked to church and Sunday school near where the Breadalbane Airport roundabout is now located. However, in 1845, after representations from the local Franklin Village community and supported by Mr Hawkes who assisted with fund raising, the Franklin Village Chapel, now known as St James Church, was erected opposite the school and the boys attended Sunday school and church there. With lessons and other duties, the boys had little leisure time and were encouraged to write home regularly to their parents. In one letter home, a student reported that they had been playing "Bushrangers" in the bush near the school. This was a pastime that would not have been unusual in those colonial days.
Mr Hawkes was said to have been a hard task master and often ill tempered. It was a time when schooling and discipline were strict and beatings were common. Beatings were common but not just in school. For a boy in the army or navy or even in some form of apprenticeship or servant, poor workmanship or idleness would be met with a physical punishment. This type of corporal punishment would have been a factor in maintaining strict order at Mr Hawkes Academy.
After a period lasting 25 years, a relatively long time for a private school of the era, Mr Hawkes' Classical & Commercial School closed in 1866. Competition from other schools such as Horton College at Ross, so conveniently located for Midlands families, probably contributed to the closure. After closing the school, Mr Hawkes entered politics, being elected to the legislative Council in 1871. He retired from politics in 1877. By 1882, his health was failing and he died quietly at his home at Franklin Village in 1882. He was buried in St James Church cemetery across the road from Franklin House and the Academy classroom..
In 2004, a gathering for the descendants of boys who attended the Classical & Commercial School was held at Franklin House, many descendants came from within Tasmania as well as from interstate to learn, contribute and exchange information about the lives of their ancestors, particularly after they left school and entered the community. It quickly became obvious that in adulthood in many communities, the "Old Boys" had made considerable contributions in social, political, economic and spiritual life. Tribute was paid to the role of the school in establishing a sound foundation for the future adult life of the students. Visitors to Franklin House can visit Mr Hawkes Academy as part of their visit.

Well, you gotta love the pager when it goes off in the middle of the night. My FF is off and rolling on a structure fire in Hideaway (a small community North of our district). It was an automatic box call (where they page out the department in which district the call is in, and the 2 closest neighboring departments) with Lindale being the primary on the call. We had only been in bed and asleep for maybe an hour and a half. This will likely be at least a two hour call...if not longer. My FF and I have to be up at 5a for a job out of town (our normal job...computers). At least there are sevral guys from all the departments responding. That makes me feel better. Lindale is now on scene and reporting it is indeed a working structure fire. OH JOY. I never sleep when he is on a structure fire. Especially after losing the 4 in Houston. It makes it all too real. I always make sure to kiss him and tell him I love him before he leaves on any call, but especially with all the LODDs (Line of Duty Deaths) Texas has had lately. So I told him as he left, "Please be careful, baby!" His response, "I always am! Don't worry! I'm turning the scanner on for you." A couple more I love yous and he leaves. *sigh*
I hate hearing that he is rolling a 1 man crew. He is driving Brush 2 (out of station 2). His department (station 1) is also rolling Engine 1 with a 6 man crew, so he isn't alone, thank God. Now, I start saying prayers for the safety of all the firemen from all 3 departments and of course for the family whose home is burning. Lord keep them all safe!
Lindale is asking for more man power on the front lines. It must be a "good one". That poor family. Now they are telling Attack Team 1 to back out. That isn't good. *sigh* I didn't used to worry as much, but here lately with all the LODDs, I just can't seem to help it. I can hear the "excitement" in the guys voices. I know their adrenaline is rushing big time. I'm glad that they are paying attention...but I'm sure all firefighters in TX are after all the LODDs in the last few months. I always wonder how many other wives stay awake and listen to the scanner so they know what's going on. I know I'm not the only one. I can't be. With all our departments being mostly volunteer, I can't imagine any of the wives sleeping through a structure fire here lately. I guess I could be wrong, though.
I wonder what job my FF has on this structure? I hope he is getting some good hose time. It sounds like they need as many on the front line as they can get. That will make him happy that he got to "play". He hates going on calls like this and not getting to do anything. He was born to be a firefighter and an EMT. It's just who he is. I love that about him.
Other than the guys running accountability and the head of the 2 attack teams, I'm not hearing much, now. I know they are having a hard time on Attack Team 2 (in the back yard) trying to keep it out of the trees and off the other houses. Every now and then, I hear someone ask for fresh guys. It must be a really hot one. I know suited up with SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) they can only breath that air for about 20 minutes. Attack Team 2 is pulling out to rehab. I almost wish I was there so I could see, but I know better. That would be especially hard to just sit back and do nothing. Unfortunately, I can't ever be a firefighter or even on scene as support on a fire. I'm allergic to the foam they use to suppress the fire. Yeah, that would be bad. So, I get to sit at home and worry, pray, and listen to the scanner. Such is the life of the Fire Wife.
Wow...while everyone is on the Hideaway fire, Red Springs (another neighboring department we are on mutual aid with) got a structure fire, too! I wonder if any of our guys are going to peel off to go to the new fire? Talk about stretching resources!!! Apparently, tonight gonna be crazy! Is it a full moon????? Geesh! Nope! They paged out another department because our guys are tied up at the other fire. Let's hope the other department has a good response of man power and can get there pretty quick. Well, Red Springs got there and cancelled everyone. I'm guessing it was a bad blower motor in the A/C. That will smoke up a house pretty good. I'm glad it turned out to be nothing! Now I just wish our guys would clear Hideaway and come home. I'm so sleepy!! It's 4a, now. I started this entry at midnight 45. UGH! Tomorrow is going to SUCK!
They finally cleared! All is well, and my fireman is on his way home. 4 hours on that one...ouch!! Thank you, Lord for keeping them ALL safe!

Pieces of Memories
As a little girl, I'd watch my mom sew for hours at her machine making new clothes, dolls and quilts for our home. Often, it was new matching dresses for my sister and me to wear for an upcoming holiday that would allow family members to comment at "how cute" we looked in our matching attire. Mom careful picked out the perfect pattern for every dress she made and then measured each of us to make sure she'd get just the right amount of fabric. We'd gather at the kitchen counter and watch her cut out the pieces, and then became models as she'd fit us throughout the process making sure each step was just right.
One Easter, I remember mom using peach-colored fabric for our new dresses. The dresses came right below our knees and were edged with white eyelet around the wrists and neck. A pretty sash at the waist completed the look as we twirled in our new dresses, showing them off for everyone who glanced in our direction.
Mom's handy sewing skills came from her mother, who taught her at a young age the importance of learning to sew. Combine that with my other grandma's sewing skills and I was destined to become a sewer for life.
I learned at a young age how to sew a button and stitch a hem. As I grew older, my projects got more advanced, starting with a pillow, then a shirt and finally my own dresses. By the time I was about 13, I started quilting and first making traditional block quilts out of leftover fabric from other sewing projects. As I got more confident I tackled my first big quilt – a Double Irish Chain, following the book Irish Chain in a Day. It was a twin-sized quilt in pastel pink and aqua tones – the color of my room at the time. I was so excited about that quilt that I entered it in the county fair that summer through my 4-H club and earned a grand champion ribbon. I earned another grand champion ribbon for a pillow that I sewed. That first quilt encouraged me to make others throughout the years with some large enough to cover a bed, but most perfect for wall hangings and table runners.
A favorite columnist of mine who writes for the local newspaper wrote a column last November entitled "The quilter who dies with the most fabric wins." I had to chuckle reading her words, because every quilter I know has their own stash of fabric leftover from projects. In my recent quilting project, I looked through the dresser now houses all of my own stash and I couldn't help but remember each project that brought that piece of fabric into my collection. There are pieces from the quilt I made my nephew, the patriotic wall hanging for my mother and the bright shining star that graces a table runner for my in-laws.
My in-laws were here to visit this holiday season and like to settle in like they're at home, which is the way we like it since we only see them a couple of times a year. The first evening they got here I heard my father-in-law say, "I tried to put some clothes in the dresser we usually use, but it's full of fabric." All I could do was laugh and defend the importance of my stash as a key to the memories from the projects I've made.
I've already started coming up with new sewing projects that involve fabric from my stash. Now I just have to pull out the machine and grab some thread.

Glad you got the pictures! I'm also glad that you learned how to sew. It is something you can learn from and use your whole life! Grandma Matheny-Port was so proud of you!! 🙂
Hey! I recognize this quilt! And the hair! And the kitchen in the background! In fact, I might have been along on this trip to the fair! 😉 Ah, the good ole days… My friend with all of the creativity and talent. 🙂 (Yes, I stalk you on your blog!)

Leaving Nerja behind the sunshine had disappeared, now turning grey and quite windy we stopped briefly for one night further down the coast. There were kite surfers out on a wild sea and we got blown to bits walking along the beach to watch them.
Driving leisurely eastwards along the coast road, the villages along the way seem to edge the beaches, dotted with unoccupied hotels all waiting for the new season to begin. We can see the Autovia set well back from the coast, some parts on the high, towering 'viaductos' edged with blue painted barriers, carrying traffic east and west much faster than we need to travel.
Stopping off next at Camping Don Cactus, near Carchuna on the Costa Tropical of Granada, we found a large well planned site with excellent facilities. The weather is still mild, grey and windy, the waves crash and thunder while the gulls wheeled above and skimmed the waves in equal measure. Walking along the pebbled shore being battered by the wind we watched gannets fishing, white plumage with black wingtips showing well against a dark sky. We saw many spectacular dives from on high, wings folding back like a jet fighter, just as they dived into the sea.
Many plastic greenhouses in vast, and endless lines are unfortunately a blot on this otherwise lovely landscape. They fill every valley floor and terrace big enough to grow something, it's not a pretty sight but people want to be fed cheaply and this is where lots of our salad crops come from, mostly growing cucumbers and tomatoes at the moment. More spectacular are the ruins of Castle of Carchuna, built at the end of the 18th century to protect the area against pirate attacks. Also a tower, the Farillo de Calahonda, constructed around the 16th century to protect the port of Calahonda. It was used as a lighthouse at one time, but has now fallen into disrepair and leaning at a crazy angle. The current lighthouse stands high on a rocky outcrop which looks down on a small bay with fishing boats bobbing in the sea.
We walked a couple of miles along the beach of shingle and sand with small flowering plants gathered in groups in the shelter of a larger rock or piece of driftwood. We found it very relaxing and were soon bird spotting again, mainly gannets, gulls and terns. At the end of the bay we admired the scene whilst being served lovely fresh tapas with our beers. Is this sounding familiar?
After two days, we moved further east along the coast to Almerimar and tried out our first Aire. These are places without the frills of a campsite, just somewhere to park up for a night or two, facilities can include electricity, drinking water, drains to empty 'grey water' and chemical toilets. They sometimes have washrooms and washing machines too. Best of all they are cheap, this one cost us £13 per night including the electricity! Some of them are even free but would not have facilitites.
There were around 40 motorhomes in this Aire all parked around a pretty marina or looking out to sea. We chose a spot looking out across the bay to the west so no one could park in front of us and we could admire the birds, fishing boats and sunset if there was one. The benefits of this location were a collection of small shops, a supermarket, laundrette and the usual bars and restaurants all within a 10 minute walk of where Della was parked.
We made a plan to check out the local Puntas Entinas – Sabinar Nature Reserve, an area of reeds, dunes and plant life with two quite large lakes. We packed a picnic, and thankfully as it was still quite grey and windy, we wore closed shoes, trousers and our fleeces. It took 30 minutes or so to get to the beginning and then another 20 minutes getting into the dunes aiming to get to the lake. We soon realised we had made a mistake and were being bitten by mozzies, their horrible wining and stinging bites sent us racing back out to the shore again. Not to be deterred by a mere insect, we carried on and walked for around 2 hours before stopping for lunch on an exposed high dune hopefully away from the mozzies, and from which we could see the lake. There were lovely flowers in the dunes and we did see some birds too, success, we had not been beaten.
Then we made mistake number two. Not wanting to return using the same route, we decided to walk around the other side using a track and bridge across the beginning of the second lake. By the time we had crossed over, I was feeling quite exhausted and hoped we could find the road and get a bus back. No such luck, no roads anywhere, we walked on tracks for miles and miles over rocky, semi barren land, we passed a goat herder, past endless rows of greenhouses, spotted flamingos and trudged on and on. We had been bitten constantly all over our hands, necks and Chris had bites on his face, I had them on my neck and in my hair. By the time the town came into view I was fantasizing about how to replete my energy level, my hips and knees felt shot and I was running on empty. We eventually got there, me hobbling and cursing, and made our way to a bar where I ordered coffee with sugar for the caffeine, (I don't even like coffee or sugar in drinks), a brandy for fortification and a half pint of lager, and Chris had a well earned pint.
I checked my pedometer and we had walked 28.6km, which equates to 17.87 miles, no wonder I felt knackered. Chris was tired but not shattered like me!
Our next destination not far along the coast was Cabo de Gata and some more dunes with lots of beautiful low growing flowers.
We left Della parked on the roadside and walked over to the saline lagoons at Las Salinas which promised lots of water loving birds and we were not disappointed. There were five bird hides along the edge of the lagoons, obviously this was a renowned birding area, we were so glad we had our binoculars. There was a large flock of greater flamingos looking stunning in the sunshine, beautiful shades of pink with black on the wings and Chris also spotted ten white spoonbills, long legged birds with bills shaped like a long handled spoons.
I saw my favourite wader; 4 lovely black winged stilt with long pink legs, black wings on otherwise white plumage and a small dainty looking head with straight black bill. In all we added another 10 species to our Spanish list, now numbering 79 since we landed at Bilbao.
Just for the record, we are keen bird watchers – NOT TWITCHERS! The difference being, twitchers will be notified via friends, media and electronic devices that a certain species of bird has been spotted, and they will race off to the location to try and see it and put 'a tick in a box'. It could be 10 miles or 100's of miles and they go crazy to achieve it. We on the other hand simply enjoy walking, and all fauna and flora.
The drive to our next destination was through very different countryside with empty roads and stunning scenery. The new campsite, Los Escullos, was set in the foothills of extinct volcanos, an area called Pico de Los Frailes, and had the best of both worlds being less than a mile from the coast too. The scenery was wonderful, very different with rocky terrain and peaks in all directions.
We walked down to the shore over scrub land alongside huge towering cactus type plants, some with tall spent flower spikes, others taller than Chris, and eventually we came out on a sculptured, rocky headland overlooking the sea.
The limestone pavement effect on the surface looked like it had been sand blasted, there were huge chunks of rock that had separated from cliff edges and wonderful formations jutting out.
We could not believe the amount of wild flowers in many colours, you could smell their perfume and hear bees buzzing everywhere, a real sound of summer. We were told that this year the flowers were very good due to the excessive rain this area has had during the end of last year and the beginning of this one.
We had another long, but pleasurable walk over flowery open spaces, passed wooden bee hives and along stoned tracks between the hills and the shore on our way to San José. We saw great rock formations showing the fault lines where the volcanoes had spewed out lava and rocks at some time in the distant past. There were what looked like caves higher up, great land slides of rubble, huge bolders and incredibly, tiny plants growing straight out of the rock.
The sea sparkled in the sunshine not a cloud in the sky, a few gulls with wings outstretched gliding on the clifftop air currents. The views from the top of the hills were wonderful and far reaching. The temperature was rising now, over 20C as we neared San José in time for lunch overlooking the beach, we also needed a good rest.
The walk had taken 3 hours over rugged terrain, so we decided to walk the road back which had lovely views too. We found a well at Pozo de Los Frailes with a wooden mechanical device for a horse or donkey to raise the water. We couldn't find the required animal so Chris is demonstrating it.
It took another 1.5 hours to get back to Della – 22.5km or approximately 14 miles – we must be getting fitter! We stayed 4 days in this peaceful place, met some lovely people to share a couple of evenings with, and had some relaxing sunbathing time too whilst trying to learn some Spanish. Adios amigos!
The map has been updated, have a look where we are now.

"If you're looking for your calling, remember you're not looking for a career answer. You're looking to fall in love. It doesn't matter if you can't see how you'll make money by collecting sea shells or petsitting. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to start. Just do something you LOVE. What you love has energy, and that energy activates new insights, clarities, directions, and next steps." ~Tama J. Kieves
On the way home from work tonight, I was pondering ways to tell the difference between the voices of the dreamer, the realist, and plain old fear when they speak up in my head. It seems like it should be obvious: the dreamer is the voice that encourages me to do whatever it takes to go after my dreams, the realist is the one that tries to make sure I keep my feet on the ground so I can pay the bills, and fear … well, fear is just scared of any and everything and usually thinks the wisest course of action is never to change anything at all.
In reality, though, the voices aren't always quite so clear. It's so easy for fear to masquerade as the voice of reason, telling me that it's the realist talking when fear is the ventriloquist behind the scenes. How often does fear keep me from reaching for what is truly realistically possible because fear is telling me that anything more than some level of safety is not "realistic" to even aim for?
The dreamer can be even more elusive at times when I find that I've already cut my dreams down to what seems "realistic" before I even allow myself to dream them. I tell myself that I dream of being a writer but that it doesn't matter what kind of writing it is. After all, freelance writing might be safer than writing a novel, and that's close enough to a dream, right? I don't really mean to aim for actually being a novelist, do I?
So, how do I tell the difference? How do I know when it's the dreamer or the realist or fear? Is the realist even a true voice, or is that always a mask for fear? What is reality? So many questions, so few good answers.
In the quote at the top of this blog, which was waiting for me on my Facebook wall when I arrived home from work today, Tama gives a clue about how to recognize the true dreamer when that voice shows up. If I find myself thinking about a career answer or how I'll make money, that means the realist is the one doing the talking. It's not the dreamer. The dreamer is only about falling in love; that voice should only be talking to me about what I love to do. As soon as it veers into the territory of income and career, it's the realist even if it claims to be the dreamer.
I still don't have any clear answers about how to tell the difference between the realist and fear, though. I'm still not sure the realist is even a valid voice. That's not to say that there is no value in being realistic enough to make sure my feet are firmly on the ground, but that also does not mean that the realist is not still an alter ego of fear. After all, fear isn't always bad. Fear can motivate me to do the things I need to do to keep myself safe: pay the bills, lock the doors, don't walk alone in dangerous parts of town at night.
So how do I get the dreamer who is focused on what I love to negotiate with the realist and the fear to find a way to create an income and a career from things I love to do? I think the first step is to let the dreamer really dream—dream with no limits at all. Once I know deep in my soul what that dream looks like and feels like, then I am at a point where I can start the negotiations. Until I've fully dreamed, though, any attempt at negotiation is not starting from the right place. It's already shifted too far toward safety and not enough toward love before I've even started.
Tama makes it sound so easy, but I know she walked this same path herself. I'm glad she shared it in her book This Time I Dance! It gives me hope that if someone else can find a way to follow her dreams and still make a living, maybe I can do the same thing. I just have to remind myself where I need to start.
I start with dreaming. I start with falling in love. I start with what brings me joy. There will time enough for fear and reality later.

I looked at the calendar this morning and realised we are into February already.
My apologies for being a day late but here is the muse for February.
My brain has been full of so many things lately that keeping up with my deadlines is a major occupation. This Saturday coming (4 Feb) is the annual Middleton Expo country fair, and I'll be there with as much of my shop and stock of scarves that I can fit in the car and then the tent I use. The scarecrow competition is on again, and hopefully I'll get some good photos for next week's blog.
The other day I dyed a batch of woolen scarves using Landscape dyes, and the colours are absolutely brilliant. The wool in the scarf was a little different from the previous batch I had late last year and the dye took more evenly especially in the pink scarves. These are hanging to dry before ironing.
Then of course being the first Sunday of the month it is Woodbridge Market on Sunday, after that nothing for 2 weeks.

text: The standing water is clear and deep. Everywhere you hear the calls of birds, morning and evening. I've seen robins hopping solemnly in the fields for weeks: when the fields were brown, when they were drowned, and now that they're green with unruly, tufted but still short grass. The stark branches of winter have become bumpy and blurred. And in places you can already see the tender green haze of Spring's early musings.

The two writers are, at it again here! Translated…
Like Us, who are Focused in Writing, Perhaps, We're Also Searching for Some Form of Pure Conditions. In the Process, Forgetting Our Selves, Day and Night, Poured in Everything We Got, for the Sake, of Getting Our Words to Come Closest, to Represent What We Wanted to Say. By This Way, the Relations We Have with Our Families, Writing, as Well as Our Separate Lives Become, Whole Again, and, in the Moment, They Seemed, Exactly the Same………
Chiang-Sen Kuo: Ping Lu, as we chatted on, summer had, arrived!
Every time the seasons changed, I would try, to remember what I was doing last time this year. Like you already knew, these past couple of years, there'd been, a lot of changes in my life, and, everything that's happened had been written in my book, "Why Not Get Serious, Feeling the Sorrows?". Two years ago, I'd decided to take my unpaid leave, headed back to Taipei from Hualien to take care of my father; at the same time, the harder part, was how I'd needed to, cope with how my life will, NEVER be the same again.
I'd had to, break everything I knew down, and relearn everything all over again. After I'd let my own grief take over, I'd started thinking seriously on, on my being single, getting older.
As I was younger, there had been times when I'd imagined what I would be like when I "grow up", using the films, the books, as well as the lives of others, to take as examples. And yet, I'd, arrived, at age fifty, when we're to know our destinies, and, that, was when I finally understood, that after this, it's me, myself, and I, keeping, my own company, that I can only, take all the responsibilities, my self.
Grieving seriously, like feeling calm, after dealing with being lost, turning back, looking back again, at that crossroad I'd faced from before, then, get back on my track again. Thankfully, I'd found, that I was still able to, change my goals and my own paces of life. People who can change are, free, or so I believe.
Ping Lu, maybe some would think, that the healing properties of writing is in getting my feelings out on paper, but you and I knew better, your "Heart Mandala", and my "Why Not Get Serious, Feeling the Sorrows?", it's a sort of a seriously, looking back, examining our lives. Like how in the first pages of your book you'd quoted, Nietzsche, "Because of art, we're not destroyed by the truths". I would, use a wider spectrum to explain the word "art", not only in forms of writing or paintings, or maybe, it's, the ability, to see the different facets of life too.
I wouldn't say, that I have ZERO doubts for my future, but, as the day passes, I'd felt my mindset changed.
I'd written my experiences of living with my father alone, what I got out of life, into "I'm About to Venture into the Distances". This book, was my life tales. Because I found, that all the healing, all the mending up of the self, has to happen in the nitty-gritties of life, which I termed, "my internship for the elderly years."
The book's published now, and, the amendments for same-sex marriage passed too. And still, in feeling happy, there's not much emotional ups and downs with me. Because, as I wrote this book, it was like taking my father home, it's also, a practice for setting up my own home too. Ping Lu, I'm not the least bit disappointed with love, it's just, that the me now, I'm finally, comfortable, being with me.
Or maybe, it is no longer related to hetero or homosexuality anymore. Why must we pass a certain again, to finally understand what lover and companions are?
The movie which you and I both loved so very much, "The Lobster", in order to make a match, the characters needed to put on false fronts or change their personalities, even to make themselves to have the same handicap with the people they're in love with. Chiang-Sen, do you remember, that the male lead in order to be a part of a couple, needed to force himself to become crueler and more cold-blooded than the person that he's in love with?"
"The Lobster" is a memorable movie, there was another sharp contrast: as a couple are having issues getting along with each other, they would be "assigned" a child, and the reason being, that under the systems, the child has a way, of resolving the issues between the adults.
I'm guessing, that there is an influx of this example across ALL the generations, when the couples are having troubles, have a kid, attempt to salvage their marriage, sometimes, it works, but sometimes, the child pays the ultimate price.
The director was very forthcoming, "The Lobster" portrayed the problems of the system of marriage well. In actuality, the interaction of the couple often has a sort of a tug-of-war going on, at other times, it's to achieve that balance, like on a seesaw. Although the heterosexual marriage is so, and now, as the laws amended, homosexuals had gotten their rights to marry too, it is, congratulatory, that this change happened, looking toward the future, the homosexuals may bring some new life to this aged system of marriage.
Marriage is NOT a miracle cure, returning back to your question, how come single people always feel the pressures, and are discriminated by the outside world? I'm thinking, that in the day-to-day living and the systems, the singles are being punished for what they are! The most widely observed, is the seating at restaurants, it'd made a person wanting to seat very stressful. If there are singles seats set up, and, a better way would be have a "single's discount", to give twenty-percent off for those who go to the diners to eat alone, if there's such a place in the city, you and I, would surely, frequent there often.
So, there's, a lot to be considered here, like how the two writers mentioned above, how the laws are amended, so same-sex couples can marry, and that is, a huge step forward, but, there are, a TON of other situations where the shops are discouraging singles, like the seating at the restaurants.
Chiang-Sen Kuo: Ping-Lu, you'd talked about loving and not loving in a marriage, it'd reminded me of "Fiddler on the Roof". The traditionally Jewish father in the film set his three daughters up to marry into fitting families, but, as the era slowly changed, the three daughters all wanted to make their own choices, the youngest daughter had even fallen in love with a non-Jewish, white Russian man, and decided to elope with him. The youngest daughter claimed she was in love, the elderly father was saddened and confused, and he'd gone to ask his own wife whom he married by way of matchmaking, "Do you love me?", as the elderly wife worked around the house, she'd asked him, "I'd cooked for you, did your laundry, raised your children up, took care of you my whole life—and, you'd asked me, if I ever, loved you?", would this have, answered, the man's question?
You said, that it's a tug-of-war between a married man and a woman. I'd never been married, and I can only observe this from my own father, and I'd found, that one of them would have to sacrifice more than the other. Because women are carrying their young, they have difficulties letting go, which make them compromise more. After my mother passed, I kept asking, were my parents who'd fought all the time in love? Didn't they, fall in love, then, decided, to marry too?
And because of this, I'd slowly, come to understand, that love is not an exchange of gifts; it's not an insurance for happiness. It's, a growth experience, with laughter, as well as, tears too, with giving, and getting hurt. Love, is the sum of all of that. It's bright, it's also, dark. But, someone who hadn't, experienced all of it, had never been in love. Love never promised us a rose garden.
Ping Lu, you'd asked if same-sex marriage will bring new life to the originally set up system? I have my reserves on that. From what I'd observed, the homosexual wanted marriages just like heterosexuals, that, is called equality.
Because of being in love, hoping that we will both be guaranteed certain rights by the law, of course, that is, within the realms of human rights. But, I'm totally against thinking on the issues in opposite terms, whether it be homosexual or heterosexual, they already knew what "being in love" is all about, they're already, living by the rules of the system of marriage under patriarchy. Once there's a pursued marriage, all the love, would have the need of "establishing a place" to it. Nobody would want to pursue a marriage that won't work out at the end.
So, this is on same-sex marriages, the understandings of life these two individuals came to understand from living, and, that just showed, how our knowledge base is a built-up, it's something So, this is on same-sex marriages, the understandings of life these two individuals came to understand from living, and, that just showed, how our knowledge base is a built-up, it's something that's, accumulated through the ages, and, with the world changing by the day, the information, the knowledge we have also, increases too.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL – Tuesday, February 2, 2016
Today's scripture reading:
God doesn't judge people on the basis of race, sex, or national origin. He judges them on the basis of their faith in him and their response to his revealed will. Those who diligently try to obey God's will are blessed. They are like healthy, fruit-bearing trees planted along a riverbank with strong roots, and God promises to watch over them. God's wisdom guides their lives. In contrast, those who don't trust and obey God have meaningless lives that blow away like dust.
There are only two paths of life before us—God's way of obedience or the way of rebellion and destruction. Be sure to choose God's path, because the path you choose determines how you will spend eternity.
You can learn how to follow God by thinking about his Word. This means spending time reading and thinking about what you have read. It means asking yourself how you should change so you're living as God wants. Knowing and thinking about God's Word are the first steps toward applying it to your everyday life. If you want to follow God more closely, you must know what he says.
This "law" means all of Scripture: the first five books of Moses, the Prophets, and the other writings. The more we know of the whole scope of God's Word, the more resources we will have to guide us in our daily decisions.
When Scripture says, "In all they do, they prosper," it does not mean immunity to failure or difficulties. Nor is it a guarantee of health, wealth, and happiness. What the Bible means by prosperity is this: When we apply God's wisdom, the fruit (results or by-products) we bear will be good and receive God's approval. Just as a tree soaks up water and bears luscious fruit, we also are to soak up God's Word, producing actions and attitudes that honor God. To achieve anything worthwhile, we must have God's Word in our hearts.
Chaff is a symbol of a faithless life that drifts along without direction. Good grain is a symbol of a faithful life that can be used by God. Unlike grain, however, we can choose the direction we will take. (NLT)
Psalm 1:1-6 – Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with scoffers. But they delight in doing everything the Lord wants; day and night they think about his law. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season without fail. Their leaves never wither, and in all they do, they prosper.
But this is not true of the wicked. They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly.
For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
Carol Van Der Woude (Illinois) titled her story "BEARING FRUIT;" here is a portion of Carol's story:
". . . Fruit-bearing trees and bushes are a gift that inspires me. Just as God designed these plants to produce fruit, God calls me to bear fruit. God has a purpose for my life. As I mature in my relationship with God by studying the Bible, praying, and working in community with other Christians, I discover and fulfill that purpose.
"Our reading for today encourages us to root our faith in God's word. . . . When we read God's word, believe it, and obey it, we produce fruit and bring glory to God."
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY – We glorify God when we bear the fruit we are created to bring into the world.
Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for creating us with purpose. Help us to sink our roots deep into the soil of your goodness. Amen.
Prayer Focus: TO BECOME WHO GOD CREATED ME TO BE
