- This evening Adrian (london1952) and I are heading out of town. We are going to rural Gloucestershire to stay with the lovely Richard (aka Ricardo) and David at Richard’s farm.
Last time we saw them was in September in Sitges, and it’ll be wonderful to spend time with them and catch up. We’re hiring a car as the train fare were expensive and there are engineering works on the line on Sunday, and this makes it feel even more like a holiday.
- Talking about Spain… One of the Spanish guys at work is called Jesus and a few colleagues pronounce his name à la anglais and it feels strange - and wrong - to hear things like “Jesus said that…” and “Ask Jesus”.
- The hypnosis class was again very good.
Last night we learnt about the eye fixation technique to induce trance and also the use of metaphors in encouraging change in the subconscious.
One of the metaphors she used was the story of Father Rabbit and the 3 little baby rabbits learning to jump over a ditch. At one point a big brown bear made an appearance too and the bunnies climbed on his shoulder to see that the ditch wasn’t that wide and that they could jump with no problem at all. The mention of the big brown bear surely made me smile… I can still hear her soothing and captivating voice saying “Thaaaat’s right… smile and relax” .
- Thank you to all of you who voted in my “Pride 2008 outfits” poll! The overwhelming majority (10 out of 15) said that we should wear our costumes again! (1 of you say that we should stay at home! Tut tut! LOL!)
pride,
