bethnoirWhilst I've been reading a book about the ritual use of hallucinogens , I've been suffering with a cold. On the plus side it has made thinking about altered states of consciousness easy, but I have felt mostly horrible.
This is the first time since Thursday that I've had a feeling that I'm seeing the world without a filter between me and it. My temperature has returned mostly to normal and I can breathe again, there are inklings that smells exist and my eyes feel clear.
I'll be left with a persistent cough and a red nose for a while, but yippee for feeling slightly better after proper, have to go to bed for the day, illness.
I found out that Seasons of the Witch by Donovan is good for meditative breathing and that the Grateful Dead make a lot of sense in a twilight world where reality is a half remembered idea.
So I suppose nothing ventured, nothing gained.
It was too cloudy to see the super waxing gibbous moon last night, but I did have a photography worth experience in a wood yesterday. We visited Prior's Wood which is quite close to us, in search of bluebells. We were probably a week late, but the rain a week ago was extreme and made going anywhere outside a very unpopular prospect.
we found some, but if we'd wanted to see wild garlic flowers we would have been ecstatic, there was loads of it and quite a lot of mud too
The only problem with the wood really, was that you can hear the hiss of the motorway, but as we live quite near the M4/M5 interchange anyway we kind of zone it out.
I'm looking forward to reading Secret Roads by my friend Simon Williams at some point and we are thinking of going to see Marvel's Avengers Assemble as it is directed by Joss Wheedon. There is a plan to go to Winerbourne Down Carnival today, but it's raining in a quite determined way at the moment, so I'm not sure about that. Hope you're all enjoying the bank holiday weekend.

Date: 2012-05-09 12:44 am (UTC)I has been mildly brainachy I fear but have had an awful lot of books to herd at the shop lately. It seems the sacking of our larcenous (is that a word? well, it ought to be) has considerably increased the numbers of our flock! If only we had a bigger pen to house them all. Still, I tries my best. And yes, the shop stays open over Bank Holidays to make the most of extra holiday customers. I got some rests on Monday though as the Coliseum at least has the decency to remain closed. :P
Anywho, hopes you be showing those germs who's boss and I shall endeavour to update in greater details as soon as the brains will allow.
