You are an extremely intelligent and talented man, and need to take care of yourself in order for you to continue to function well.
Make sure you take your medication.

Well It is 2:28 am now (10:30 by the clock that doesn?t work properly) (both a radio controlled) and the air has cooled outside with much dew. However inside the house it is still hot at 24.9 C so I?ve done the obvious and opened the windows. The foxes have not been to call with their yaps and snuffles and there are no police sirens to be heard (perhaps their batteries are flat). The moths are flooding in attracted by the light, perhaps I should buy some mosquito netting I always wondered what those curtains were for before I put up Venetian blinds.
And a daddy long legs fly has arrived only to try to get out? I did an insect PHOTOGRAPHY !!!! course at Juniper Hall a few years ago and found the real jungle warfare going on in every hedgerow, in the ground cover, in and on every tree. I found three species of cryptic beetle whose camouflage is so good that no one had noticed them before even though they are fairly common and photographed them and they eat the peppered moth which I did see and that is how they got discovered.
I snapped the ?shield bug? which just sits and suckles the blood of leaves and those other shield bugs that eat the juice of the deadly nightshade berry a real nice fruit that anyone might try with cream or custard and die in an hour or two of muscular paralysis brought on by atropine poisoning, the poison in the fruit.
Where have all the flowers gone?.?
It is actually getting chilly now but the thermometer still reads 24.1 ? Thermal inertia, I would think.
I really enjoy photographing some aspect of life, but I need to tell a story. Like the lady who lost an arm and a leg in a motor cycle accident (it is on my web page under stories) well she is a sort of friend and yesterday I gave her my old mobile phone, without a SIM. I just hope there is no trouble as she has nothing and since it is registered in my name it might get flagged as ?Stolen?. I rang up Vodaphone to tell the that I had given it away but they needed the number and I could not remember it as it was for mum and she never used it, but I found it out and put it on an e-mail with details to Vodaphone to de-register it. The Vodaphone system is so automated it is almost impossible to get to a human operator and there is no option ?I have given away my phone?.
I do not photograph her as I make it a rule not to photograph friends as they are not specimens or pretty things to photograph. I see them and that is good enough.
I once photo?d a pretty young lady selling ?Big issue? she was bright and happy with lovely locks of blond hair and bright cheap jewelry hanging all over. She said she was homeless and I was tempted to offer her a bed with me in it, but I bought a paper instead.
But a week later I came on the same girl in the same place in old rags, no jewelry and dirty tousled hair lying on the pavement asleep and obviously penniless. I wish I had taken up with her as she would have been OK with me, but I just had to walk on by and put a coin in her begging hat. I have not a doubt that she had been raped and robbed and left, I just felt that a relationship with a 16-year old and me at 60 was not right. On another occasion I did help another destitute lady who was begging near me. It is the Church who are throwing these innocent people on the street, because of their unusual and unacceptable beliefs or because they are socialists. The Head of State here is also the head of the Church so any deviation is treason as well as heresy or blasphemy.
I find the behavior of the great and good unacceptable and the number of people who have suffered like this is huge and most end up dead as hospitals will not help them.
It is of course an offence to photograph such people and say how they got into this state so I don?t the photo I took of the pretty lady beggar was lost because I mis-operated the controls of my then new cine camera.
I find the British Establishment vicious, cruel and merciless and they kill.
Maia was one of these, and her whereabouts I do not know. She was once one of the richest ladies in Western Europe, she has nothing now and brainless too.
Chris.
Chris.

Renate,
My sincere apologies for over-reacting.
Yes indeed we need some lightness in these trying days.
I think I should perhaps consider actually spending time with you at the Salvation Army peeling potatoes for the Katrina refugees rather than time on the computer.
Best regards, happy light,
Guy
