The Summer Seems So Long Ago

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

I know.  The Spring Equinox is still far away, but there’s no harm in a little nostalgia for last Summer…

Wintry Procrastination

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Winter seems reluctant to slip away, in Glastonbury at least.  Its bony fingers still claw at the ground, its gelid breath still chills the heart.  Brief appearances by Ye Sunne are few but wonderful to behold.  I didn’t see any creatures creep forth from their holes on Imbolc, but that’s principally because I was one of them.

OK, enough’s enough.. the graphic style of this blog, I have to admit, is rather underwhelming.  It just doesn’t look clear, or easy on the eye.  At least it should be wider, blah de blah..  A pimple on the blogosphere, all I can seem to manage at the moment is to briefly complain about its design.

So there’s another thing to go on the list, along with all the astro stuff.

“Note to self: make list of things to do – urgent.”  Douglas Adams called such a person a Worksop in The Meaning Of Liff.  Wasn’t it Margaret Thatcher who said that happiness is a “ticked-off list”?  As unlikely as it seems, isn’t there something a tad spiritual embedded in that?  For, what is “accomplishment”? etc etc

Twottle me on Fillow!  I mean, twittle me on foller!  No, fittle me on Twoller!  Or rather, fottle me on Twillow … twoller me on Fitter?    Ah it’s been a long day … just click here !

Astrology Section Started…

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Started the astrology section from scratch.  For the time being I’ve only coded “now” charts for the location Glastonbury at the time you load the page, though you can see current planetary positions and aspects.

Given some miraculous enthusiasm, I’ll enable user-entered times and places, and even resurrect personal charts with interpretations.
