Holiday

Yes I’m on Holiday this week and having time on my hands can mean danger, so I have been trying to keep myself busy letting things occur that I cant control, but I still try to.

That's what tonight's meeting made me think about, the way we try to control the show and the ego rush it can give trying to control everything even though I preach that I don't.

Yes I have been doing a bit of gardening, me and Luke cut the lawn on Saturday, it was a glorious day weather-wise, on Sunday we walked down to the Calder and I jumped off the Iron Railway bridge into the Calder which runs about 30 feet below, something I have done every year since I was 14, a strange tradition I know but something I wasn't going to miss on my 41st Summer of my life.

Both me and Luke went swimming, we were accompanied by my good friend but appropriately titled “Partyman” and his son and Luke's cousin Lightbulb Head.

Today I ended up going geocaching and this time instead of taking Partyman we took Luke's younger Brother Lord Farquaad and found a few sets of coordinates from the website http://www.geocaching.com/  all in Bradley Wood, an area of land at the other side of the M62 motorway from the Bradley Golf Course.

On arriving there we were told that where we were going was “private property”, that makes me see red but I behaved myself and held back a bubbling anger as I explained we were looking for a geocache and they are only on public land.

I even showed them the paper from the internet which clearly showed that it was nearby but I felt angry but decided that we seemed to be at the height of some camping expedition, all around us cars were moving so we decided to disappear anyway.

It brought to my mind of that scene in Crocodile Dundee when Dundee says about who owns some land, “Its like fleas on a dogs back arguing about who owns the dog”.

Then tonight's meeting and a mention from the sharer of “trying to control events and people”, I am taking my will back but luckily I can see it, its almost like standing outside your body watching yourself trying to control things, I want to be centre stage and I am controlling my characters.

We decided in the end to give up with geocaching and went swimming downstream of Echo Beach and Luke showed off to Lord Farquaad his spectacular jumps into the water and today I didn't join him but thought how much he was like me.

Tonight we have had rain, Uncle Buck was quiet on way to meeting and I just felt like a little blog, I am using this new Microsoft Blog writer after reading about it in web user and needed to write something to see if it works.

Rest of the week is like a open desert devoid of any scenery or direction but I know my HP will show me some more little signs, one night I dreamt I was living as a Red Indian in this Tepee, I dream that quite a lot and I like to think I have a Red Indian Spirit Guide.
