Lunga on cherry blossom

This is Lunga, our wee dachshund, captured at a daft angle. She's quite photogenic as you can see and full of love. She is very sociable and especially enjoys talking to bees and butterflies whom she doesn't understand, but tries to strike up a rapport with them by barking at them. Large beetles also enjoy Lunga's affections, at least up to the point when she can't contain her enthusiasm any longer and absorbs them into her energy field by lovingly eating them. Occasionally, we rescue toads and baby rabbits from the same passionate fate as her appetite seems to know no bounds, extending even to slugs, deer poo [a favourite], horse and cow manure, rabbit droppings and...we also keep chickens! It's hard to believe, I know, that lurking beneath that playful, cute, fluffy countenance is the heart of a ruthless toilet ferret who will stop at nothing to access the most disgusting fare imaginable and consume it with such manic speed and relish as to make you wince. But she is rather cute...don't you think?

Ok, I know it's been a while since I last posted anything sensible {2nd August}. I turned 50 on August the 5th and Luisa organised a big party for me, complete with an ex-Black Watch Piper, so everybody had a few large drams to the tune of 'Heilan Laddie' The Black Bear' 'Farewell to the Rock' etc. All in all a very Scottish celebration. Since then it's been very busy--The McNeill-Wilkie Clinic is now 'The Scottish Healing Centre' and we've just run two capacity workshops in Cleansing, Clearing and Psychic Protection and Advanced Healing Techniques level 1 at Cat McGillvery's wonderful holistic shop and therapy room at ETHEREAL LIGHT in The Wellgate, Dundee. The next workshop is Advanced Healing Techniques level 2 on Sun 19th Sept 1130 till 1700 [full details and costs on Cat's website]. A huge thankyou goes to Phil Brammer of IVY COTTAGE INDUSTRIES for all his help in keeping me to time and procuring good, healthy scotch pies and doughnuts to help me put on some unnecessary weight!

This is Luisa and I inspecting each other's new 'one-size-fits-all' plastic dentures which we ordered online from Tibet. They come quite soft and malleable in a curious sticky gum which needs to be soaked overnight in petrol to remove any traces of negative energies imbued by frustrated exploited workers. It is very important to insert the dentures correctly the right way up at the first attempt otherwise you have to chew on your tongue to make it soft again. I will attempt to post a proper sensible blog soon.
