Ducky’s devastating demise!
May 18
It’s the sort of mystery that would fox Miss Marple, Sherlock Holmes and Poirot even if they joined forces and worked together. Who popped the ducky? It only seems like yesterday that we had the lovely happy story of the happy 16 metre high inflatable duck as it arrive to excited crowds in Hong Kong. HERE We even had this video from a roving Laughter Buddy reporter . Now the fun has...
Judging you by your book’s cover !
May 17
Who is your favourite character in a book? Whatever you reply will say a lot about you and your own character, according to psychologists. They have discovered that whenever we read a book we tend to subconsciously adopt their behaviours, thoughts and beliefs and react to the fictional situations as if we were the person we are reading about. Researchers from Ohio State University conducted 6...
Maneki Neko Luck
May 16
Not everyone is familiar with the lucky cat (maneki-neko) which originated in Japan but are seen throughout the Far East. I bought one recently and I have to say I’m rather fond of it as it sits on my desk and cheerfully waves. It runs on a battery and makes the same relaxing ticking noise as a clock. These cats are said to bring good luck to the owners and are known as lucky cats, money...

Double mastectomy tattoo
May 15
This intricate tattoo is on the chest of a woman who has had a double mastectomy and is a beautiful solution to disguise the scars from this life saving operation. Mastectomy often results in women feeling less feminine and desirable but perhaps this kind of a tattoo is an alternative to reconstructive surgery. Unfortunately this image has been removed from Facebook multiple times on the basis...
What’s your baby’s name sweetie?
May 14
Thank you to Ben for the over dinner conversation about Jelly Babies which revealed that they had a long and interesting history. Jelly Babies were first launched in 1918 to mark the end of World War I and they were called ‘Peace Babies’. They continued to be produced but during the Second World War food shortages mean that their production was suspended. Then in 1953 they were...
Meditation Update
May 14
Well, I did say it would be simple but not easy. Some of you have had problems with lack of concentration, some with lack of time. I’m afraid that I’ve failed to do the guided meditation twice this week. I’m on holiday and almost always in company. Although I’ve not been able to listen to the guided meditation I have tried to do it from memory in my mind. I’ve found...
They drink an awful lot of coffee in ….
May 13
I don’t really drink much coffee but I was shocked to see this data on the biggest coffee consuming countries in the world. Firstly, Scandinavia comes out top, with Finland having a staggering 12.0 kg per person, per year. That’s 1kg of coffee a month and presuming that some people don’t drink coffee, we can presume that some people are drinking an awful lot!! I expected to...
