We shared our bathwater earlier. Ladies first. Now we got some water for garden again. Watched CH 4 news and then Corrie, Eastenders and Corrie. Ang likes them so I watch them with her. Fed dogs while 2nd Corrie was on. Took them out for a wee after they’d been fed. Had a look at Kerala Articles blog. Enjoyed some of the posts. Will browse some more later when have some more free time. Haven’t left any comments yet. Maybe tomorrow.
We’re planning a visit to Wareham for tomorrow to take a walk along the river. Am going to leave some more cards on the train. Got 3 special ones to leave tomorrow. Numbered 1 to 3 with a message on them and signed. Also got some more signed ones to leave. Maybe they’ll be worth something one day. Good luck to anyone that finds one. Ang will have to hand them out as I have to look after the dogs. Journey is only 8 minutes so she has to be quick to cover the train.
Going to take dogs out for their final wee and go to bed soon as want to get an early start tomorrow. Ang watching news at minute. They talking about terrorists. I am one myself. I spell it differently though. Terre-ist. I fight for Earth and its life. The explosives I use are words. I’ve sent many letter bombs in the past. I attacked The Lansdowne College once by loading many computers with my poetry. I’ve attacked the media in Coventry and Birmingham. Today I use a website and this blog. Like a terrorist I give my life to this cause but I always survive every mission. I always just walk away.

Too hot to go
We went out with the dogs but by the time we got to the picnic bench on the way to Mucky Pond both the dogs were panting like mad. We decided not to walk them on and stayed by the picnic bench where there is water they can go in. Dainty had a great time in the reeds by the bay. Buster sat in the shade for most of the time we were there under the picnic bench. When he did go and join Dainty they both jumped into one of the inlets from the bay and got covered in reddish brown water and mud. On the way home Dainty found herself a pine cone and brought it back with her. Buster brought a plastic bottle back. More recycling.
Ang fancied some cheese on toast and offered to make some so am looking forward to that. Haven’t got much left to do today as need to finish wall I’m on in bedroom before I move mattresses around to get to next wall. Too late to paint now as fumes will be too strong to sleep in room tonight.

Packaging and water
I’m going to have a moan now. When I got the fishcakes out the freezer earlier they were in a plastic container inside a cardboard sleeve. I’m annoyed for two reasons. One is that you could have fit at least 4 in the carton not the two there was. The second is that the plastic isn’t recyclable. Now I’ve got to dispose of it. They were Sainsbury’s own brand as well. Feel like taking it back to Sainsbury’s.
Ang wasn’t impressed either. The box says “CHUNKS of smoked haddock with spring onion and GRUYERE cheese in an oat and HERB breadcrumb”. She was looking forward to that. However there were no chunks of haddock and you couldn’t taste the cheese. She was very disappointed. Wonder if they are breaking the trade’s description act?
My second thought comes from Ang. It’s about the local water. She only drinks filtered water now and it’s all we give the dogs. When we visited Coventry I got her to taste the water there. Her comment was “It’s like drinking from a mountain spring”. Local water here out the tap smells of bleach and tastes vile. Yet it’s all the locals know. I wonder what the health implications are?
We’re going to take dogs on a really long walk in a bit so need to take some water and a bowl. We’re going to a place we call “Mucky pond”. It’s a local area that has saltwater marsh, woods and some scrubland on the edge of Lychett Bay. One of Dainty’s favourite walks.

Samson and the soldier
Ang got up after phone-call with her Aunt and we decided to take the dogs out early. We went to Ham Common lake and they both went in for a swim. There was a tent on the shore and while we were there a soldier turned up with his dog Samson. We talked briefly and learnt that the dog lived with him at the local camp and goes running with him. We had to leave when the swan turned up though as it will attack the dogs. Dainty went in and fetched the stick that the soldier had thrown for Samson. She carried it home and has fallen asleep with it next to her. Buster usually brings plastic bottles home which go in the recycle bin.
I’ve put some haddock fish cakes in for dinner. Ang doesn’t want sweet potato mash so I’m going to do chips and peas with them. She’s much better now and looking forward to the meal I’m going to cook her.
Watched a bit of Euronews when came back. The outlook for Europe this summer is quite bleak. Predictions that it will take til the end of the century before effects will be extreme seem laughable now. It’s here already as I warned in this document posted in 2004 on my website.

All change
Milkman arrived just as about to make coffee so had milky drink. It was quite thick today as the 3 bananas weren’t ripe and I used a large apple. Ang had a couple of mugs full and I had just over a pint. Got to make a new seed mix sometime as nearly run out.
Started touching up places on wall that hadn’t covered properly ready for second coat. Ang still quite depressed but spoke to her friend for a while on phone. Afterwards she went and laid down for a bit and then her Aunt rang. I’m going to watch a bit of BBC news for a while after finish this.
Managed to have a quick look earlier at the blog of the person who posted my first comment. Seems a really good site. Will read some of his articles in dept when I get the time.

Depression
After finished last post we took dogs for a walk to the picnic bench that overlooks Lychett Bay. Sat for a short while and then wandered back. Met Gemma and her owner on the way back and spoke briefly. She’s a lovely dog but a bit tubby. Came back via the shops but didn’t need anything.
We’ve decided to have music today until later. Ang did washing up and is playing a game on her computer. Am missing the information about the world from all the news channels but need to keep Ang’s mood up. Will make a milky drink for breakfast soon. Hopefully will help Ang to feel better when she eats again as she hasn’t eaten for quite a few days.
I’m going to have another coffee to keep me going til milkman been and we’ve enough milk to make drink. Will start painting after coffee.

Plain speak
Woke early. Went back to sleep and got up at 5.30ish. Took dogs out for wee and then turned TV on at mains. Had to wait for box to boot up then switched to BBC News 24. Greeted with a good news story about fucking panda’s. At last they are now because of porn. So it does have a use then.
Still very angry about Romania and what they are doing to the horses over there. Thank God the UK is getting involved and teaching them horse management and care. The way of life there seems one of the most sustainable in the world. Also Heaven and Earth show annoyed me. The female they had on the panel got very vocal about the fact that Christians are always trying to convert people. I counter with this. Non believers constantly dismiss any idea a believer has. They are constantly ramming it down our throats that they don’t believe and insisting they are right and know best. She is an example of a prejudiced bigot. Her mind is closed and I feel sorry that she cannot understand that belief adds to ones life and gives you a deeper understanding of how it works in all its complexities.
Ang got up just after 6 and I made us both a coffee. Will feed dogs about 7 and then take them out for a poo. Got loadsa little things to do today to catch up with what didn’t get done Sunday. Ang doesn’t seem too depressed today. Hopefully this will last.
Good to see on news that plastic bags are being stopped in one area. Maybe this will catch on. I received over a dozen with my delivery from Sainsbury’s. Can’t understand it. One contained just a tube of toothpaste. Grocery delivery is convenient and environmentally sound but not when they do things like that. Luckily the driver will take any bags for recycling so I don’t have to dispose of them.

Sunday bloody Sunday
Didn’t get much done today. Made beds. Took dogs out on green and sat talking. Came in after about 20 minutes. Both of us really affected by Countryfile. Me angry. Ang depressed. After talking for a while we took dogs down shops. Came back and talked some more. We both just want to go to bed and forget today. Sundays never go well.
I had some pizza and chips earlier and am going to feed dogs soon and take them out on green before we all crash. Hopefully Monday will be better.

Heaven and Earth show
Got bathroom sorted. Ang did bath and sink for me and I did the toilet and pipes with bleach. Got to mop floor and do painting later. Watched Heaven and Earth show and then went to shops with dogs. When got back Ang got really upset watching Countryfile and we had to turn it off. We put 2CR on and a commercial about animal cruelty was on which made things worse. I played her a couple of songs off TV and we took dogs out again.
We spent a while sitting at a picnic bench looking out over Lychett Bay. We talked and listened to all the bird sounds and Dainty hunted through the reed beds. After about twenty minutes there we walked back past a football match on the recreation ground. I got Dainty and Buster to go in the water before we left to keep them cool on the way home.
Ang is watching TV now and dogs have crashed out. I’ve had poached egg on toast and some orange juice. Don’t know what I’ll have later.

Sunday morning
Woke early but went back to sleep. Finally got up at about 6.45. Took dogs out for wee and had coffee and a smoke. Watched bit of BBC news and then fed dogs. When Ang was ready we went for a walk with dogs and got back about 8.30. Met someone we speak to with a dog called Sheila. He’s moving away and wants to get rid of loadsa books. Told him I’ll take them as my sister buys and sells books on EBay so I can pass them on to her next time she comes over. I tripled my money with some she sold for me that I’d brought at a book fare.
Got 2CR on as TV news depressing. Will do second coat today after dog’s next walk after countryfile. No new hits on Covenant page and only an email from my Mum. Got all bedding and beanbag cover in wash. Ang did washing up for me this morning so she must be feeling better. She says it gives her something to do in morning. Lets me concentrate on the dogs. Watered the garden with bathwater. Need to clean bath out as want a bath today. Bathroom needs a clean as well. Prolly just enough time before Heaven and Earth show.

Writing
Got dogs fed after Dr Who. Scratched again by Buster when getting them ready to take out. Not much going on outside. Kids playing in gardens. Teenagers playing football on fields and joking around by the swings. Dogs had a really good time. Loads of birds singing as well. Came back and watched some more TV. Have turned it off now and got 2CR on again. Shoulder not playing up much tonight.
Decided to play a bit.
To write in a way
To simple say
What could be
A fallen tree
House flat
A builders hat
A road in chaos
Many a loss
A time to be
Written by me
4 days hence
Near a blue fence
In a town by the sea
Bishops could be
Now you make sense
Of this nonsense
For words of rhyme
Aren’t a crime
Days will dawn
For every fawn.
Sights will be seen
But what does it mean?
Glad I got that out my system. I’m going to go to bed soon as don’t want to be up too late. Ang gone to bed earlier. Roll on tomorrow. Want to have a look at the website of the first person who left a comment. Had quick look earlier but wanted to leave having a good look til Sunday.

With sugar
Had a banana sandwich earlier. With sugar as the bananas weren’t ripe. A report about a dog attack came on. I’ve been expecting one since Buster scratched me earlier when I was putting their leads on. Only minor though. He gets so excited when it’s time to go out. Got to be so careful. Dainty goes and sits by the door when she wants out. They know the difference between soon and long soon now. She doesn’t need to go out as often as Buster.
Ang got up earlier but still not feeling good so doesn’t want to come out with dogs. I got her an iced bun earlier to cheer her up. I’m settling down for Dr Who after taking dogs out. They both asleep at the minute so will wait until they wake. Usually do that at weekend. Don’t stick to every 3 hours. Sunday they usually get one of their walks for about an hour and a half to 2 hours. Have to watch Heaven and Earth show and Countryfile first though.

The Hand of God
It was amazing to watch the news reports of the earthquake in Kent. To pick the precise moment to release the stress and only injure 1 woman was amazing. Timing was perfect. That’s what I believe anyway. Only cars and chimneys got hurt. Maybe god don’t like them. Maybe it’s got a point though. Cars are really messing things up. Chimneys. Maybe we ought to get rid of them or block them off to save energy. Just a thought. I’d love to study all that damage and collate what got smashed and where. How it fell.
Wi-fi in the news as well. Sounds well iffy to me. A teacher claimed to have been suffering from effects yesterday on one report. I got rid of mine cause I found it harder to concentrate when it was on. Was easier to use a wired network for our two computers. Don’t transmit locally what we are doing either now.
Suns blazing now so will have to wait til about 5.30 or 6.00 to take dogs out again. Hopefully Ang will come when she wakes. Dogs are much happier when she’s around.
Brilliant record on radio. What’s going on?

The fence
Took the dogs to the private field and took some photo’s of the fence. When I saw the lad kicking it I was too far away to get a decent photo. I tried catching up but the dogs held me back and he was walking really fast. Never got to see his face either so couldn’t identify him again. Here’s photo’s of damage that’s been done so far.
Buster managed to get in this one.
Got back and watched a news article about slavery in India. Got me depressed and Ang is asleep so no-one to cheer me up. Music on 2CR helping and walk with dogs was nice. Wouldn’t like to be wearing a sari today knowing how they are made. Don’t know if it’s worse than what’s going on with chocolate in the Ivory Coast though.
Have to move everything around in bedroom to get at next two walls when done top coat tomorrow. Will complete bathroom when 2nd wall finished as will definitely have pumping station by second wall. Won’t need to worry about waste then so can increase realignment in bathroom by using more surface and colour around bath. I wish I could do this quicker as want to get on with other things. Will check limit of shield Sunday when I can after second coat.

Another wall and a tree
Managed to finish first coat on next wall. Have spent last half hour having music spoilt by neighbours hedge trimmer. He decided to prune a local tree. He did it during the Christmas holiday so no-one was available to stop him.
I took several photo’s which made him aggressive.
Here’s one of him in the process.
Here’s the end result.
We phoned the council and told them but they got back to us and told us it wasn’t worth prosecuting him. The tree has survived but he wouldn’t like my solution to his lack of light in his garden.
Locally there is a young lad that is causing damage to a fence not far away. I’d get that lad and teach both of them a lesson with the help of a bricky.
First I’d let the lad smash his fence down letting the lad know this is the last time he ever does it. I’d then let the bricky, with the help of the lad build a maximum of 12 inch high wall where the fence was. Then he’d have light in his garden and maybe the lad would learn bricklaying. Our just be proud of himself.
Had first comment on blog earlier. Going out with dogs now shopping arrived.

Dog fight
Went down shops with dogs and took them over fields for a run. Got some money out post office for Ang and she got a couple of things from shop. Just as we were walking back to the flat a chocolate Labrador came running at Buster and attacked him. Buster defended himself well and the Labrador backed off quite quickly. Thankfully Buster was on the lead and I could pull him back so it didn’t end up in a dogfight. I got injured last time I had to split Dainty and Buster up when they had a scrap over one of there toys. Buster never has his collar off any more so I’ve got something to grab. Dainty so feisty that she won’t back down to her brother even though he’s much bigger than her.
Watched a bit of Euronews. By the look of it there’s going to be massive crop failure all over Europe this year. Wonder what that will do to global markets. Had to turn off in the end and get some music on. Got access to bedroom now so going to get as much done a possible. Hope don’t run out of paint. Will get dogs out next when shopping been delivered.

Coventry cross
Ang came over for a while yesterday and collected he prescription. I spent evening watching TV. Watched Dr Who from last Saturday ready for tonight’s episode. Got early night and woke just after 6.
Ang came over about 7 and just took dogs out for a poo. No luck this morning as they just wanted to chase each other about. Let them play for a while and then took them in. Will have to get them out again soon. Ang crashed out for a while after she’d had some milk so got radio on quiet. Watched a good piece on architecture earlier on one of news channels I’ve got.
Last night managed to flick over to a program about religious buildings with Alan Titchmarsh. It mentioned Coventry cathedral. I’ve taken Ang there when we visited Coventry so I could show her where I grew up. We visited the cross and the museum as well and few deprived areas. Brought her a metal cross while there. When visited my brother’s house the chain broke and so for safe keeping we put it in a small plastic box. A few days after we returned to Poole we tried getting it out the box. Something had happened and the cross is welded to the plastic in some way. It can’t be removed without damage now. Weird.
Am all set up for painting when can get to bedroom. Got nothing else planned but dog walks, blog and Dr Who. Ang says she wants to come on first walk with dogs so hopefully she’ll be up soon and we can go. Delivery arrives later so will have some decent food today. Going to catch up on Euronews when finished this.
Checked all email accounts and website. I’ve had 25 computers visit Covenant page since Earth day. 1 is mine so 24 different computers now. An increase from a couple of days ago.

Road to Hell
Got a good walk in with dogs after went to chemist. Took Dainty to a brook to cool her down and got talking to couple with a dog. They said water was ok when it wasn’t cloudy. That the brook ran through an industrial estate and was nasty sometimes. I can’t believe that’s allowed in this day and age. Kids could play in it. Right next to a designated nature trail. Don’t know if what they say is true but won’t let Dainty in again. Might explain why there isn’t much plant life in the water though.
Got sanding done earlier so wall ready to paint tomorrow as early as I get the chance. It’s a large area and don’t want those fumes overnight. Going to watch some TV soon and hopefully get an early night. Might take dogs on another walk after their supper at about 8. Got some takeaway left from yesterday for myself. Be glad when shopping arrives Saturday. Wish there was a chain of takeaways that did healthy and vege stuff. It’s all fatty or full of chemicals.
Been waiting ages to get back on computer. Set an 80GB backup in progress when went out. Didn’t finish til a while ago. I’ve got loads of computer filing to do as well sorting all photos out. Got a massive collection now. Really proud of nature folder. Best collection is prolly my funghi. I’m part through classifying them all but its taking ages. Haven’t the time at minute.
Great music on 2CR at minute.

News today
Got down post office. Risked taking Dainty so could combine walks. Load of women gossiping outside shops so took dogs onto field for 10 minutes. When got back women were still outside shops. I thought women had no time for anything other than the children and housework.
Got back and dismantled wardrobe. Hopefully friend will collect soon as he knows someone with a wood burner. Got rid of wooden frame of sofa that way. Used foam to make a beanbag for me and dogs. Didn’t have to send to landfill that much in the end.
Got first lot of washing on as had a full load. Need to change bedding as got it filthy with crap off wardrobe. Loadsa light in bedroom now. Wardrobe stacked in shed awaiting collection.
Came to do blog and got chatting to sister on Messenger. Talked about her garden now and she sent me some photos. Watered mine this morning with 4 watering cans of bathwater. Normally I’d use my bathwater to wash my clothes but it really is hard work. Better use for bathwater is the toilet or garden. Especially with the weather like this cause the garden needs water. Ended up going out for another short walk with dogs. Played ball a bit but Dainty got really hot so had to come back.
Watched some news before went out. Alcohol and kids. Packaging on goods. Deaths on building sites. I don’t understand why Education isn’t the answer to all 3. Human understanding seems to say Alcoholism is prolly inherited so why aren’t we warning our future people at school. It is one of the major flaws in UK life yet is not on the curriculum in some way. We warn them of drugs. We even teach kids to be green today and unproven religion. Why not teach them the proven link to disease and violence from alcohol. Muslims have a very fixed view on it. Maybe a basic grounding in laws might be good thing as well. Human Rights Law is a good place to start.
Got back and dismantled wardrobe. Hopefully friend will collect soon as he knows someone with a wood burner. Got rid of wooden frame of sofa that way. Used foam to make a beanbag for me and dogs. Didn’t have to send to landfill that much in the end.
Got first lot of washing on as had a full load. Need to change bedding as got it filthy with crap off wardrobe. Loadsa light in bedroom now. Wardrobe stacked in shed awaiting collection.
Came to do blog and got chatting to sister on Messenger. Talked about her garden now and she sent me some photos. Watered mine this morning with 4 watering cans of bathwater. Normally I’d use my bathwater to wash my clothes but it really is hard work. Better use for bathwater is the toilet or garden. Especially with the weather like this cause the garden needs water. Ended up going out for another short walk with dogs. Played ball a bit but Dainty got really hot so had to come back.

Money 2
Had lazy evening last night. Watched TV and went to bed. Got up at 6.30. News boring and had freezer trays to clean. Got fridge freezer switched back on after wiping out and then cleaned trays. Fed dogs and got them out for a poo. Need to get to post office to get some money out today as Ang not able to give me what she owes me. Really annoyed as she has the money but won’t give it to me. Wish hadn’t let her pay for things with my credit card now. C’est la vie. She’s gone home in a mood now. She also informed me that I’ve got to collect her prescription today. That means only taking Buster with me. Hate having to leave Dainty indoors.
Going to have a coffee in a minute and then get down post office. Can only take Buster so will have to come back and get straight out with them both. Got someone coming and have to be in between 10 and 12 today. Don’t know when I’ll get time to dismantle wardrobe today. Need the room in bedroom to carry on painting.
Milkman just been so will get out and have coffee when get back. He needed paying today so couldn’t go out til he came.

Money
Spent nearly £100. Hope it all turns up. Should arrive Saturday. Only need bread and milk now for a few weeks. Get some milk delivered so don’t have to go shops too often. Going out with dogs for a walk before their supper. I can’t face all the kids about at the minute. Got horrible thoughts of what paedophiles do to kids running through my head. Ashamed to believe in the church because of their involvement in hiding the crime. Slapping a child can be excused sometimes, as most parents know but what the choirmaster did should not have been hidden for so long. People like him should rot in jail for years. Someone who snatches a handbag might get more if he’s done it before. Handbags are cheap. Even there contents replaceable. A child’s mind is scarred forever.
Be glad when that story not everywhere. Not watched much CNN today and can’t get SKY any more. Freezer is nearly defrosted. Got a flood all over kitchen floor. Using a towel as Ang got my mop and can’t get her on phone to bring it over. Should be able to get it switched back on before go to bed tonight. Only had to open fridge once earlier for second coffee of the day. Need to dismantle old wardrobe in bedroom. It’s in front of window at minute blocking most of the light into bedroom. I’ve transferred all my close into one of the cupboards onto a pole I fixed into it. Be glad to increase space and light in bedroom. More wall space will show when it gone. Living in the warm and warming southern climate I don’t need many clothes. Other people would prolly through my clothes away but I find I don’t throw things away and not ashamed of a hole or mark. I just don’t want to let pride turn me into an out of control western consumer.
I noticed earlier that the bathroom needs cleaning. Luckily the walls are gloss so can take a good scrubbing. I was supposed to get a new bathroom some months back but if staying here I’m happy with this one. No leaks. Baths a bit grubby but I’d lived with it for 3 years. Maybe what the council saved will help in some way. I didn’t want the disturbance in the flat either. Would have meant dogs would be stuck in bedroom nearly all day out of the way. Got man coming to service boiler soon. Need a new carbon monoxide patch if he’s got one when he comes. Never leave heating on auto. I’ve disabled it. Don’t want heating coming on and killing me in my sleep if there’s a fault. Only takes twenty minutes to start warming flat up. Only finished my first smoke and coffee then.

Vege chili
Decided to get dogs out. They met Harvey and Ollie off for their walk coming back. Buster and Dainty chased around in a private field open to the public for a while and then there was a little rain. We got back about 3. Turned news off as it repeating all day now. Listening to 2CR again. Don’t want to sand walls as just had a bath. Am defrosting freezer at the minute.(Thinks of Earth and how the poles are melting..Life in the freezer and all that). I can hear the ice dripping and breaking off in the background. Buster had to be shown what it was earlier. He barked quietly every time there was a noise. I had to take him out and wait til one fell and he saw what it was.
Will do a shop in a bit as takes a couple of days to deliver. Wish Iceland were still on-line as need to fill freezer up again. Be nice to have a choice of food again as taken ages to empty freezer. Only wasted the Yorkshire puddings and one vege chili. Got all the plastic trays to clean now. Want a coffee but worried about opening fridge too much and it warming up. That’s problem when you got a fridge freezer. Hate black coffee. Not as bad as without sugar though. Hopefully shop will not break bank though.

Soap
Just had a great bath. Been putting it off for days as was painful last time. Listened to 2CR while in bath. Got some water for garden again now. Major luxury a bath. I don’t use anything but soap in bath. Hate people that use loadsa products. Just think of every animal’s eye that they were dripped in to test. I don’t like being dirty though and have to use soap and water. I use the same soap for years now. Only use one brand washing up liquid and one bleach as well. Fairy and Domestos. Not too green but effective. Finally washing detergent comes in concentrated liquids now which will save loadsa costs if people took it on board.
Need to eat before get dogs out next. Soon.

Maybe
Had great walk with dogs. Dainty met a Scottie and was really playful. So was Buster as usual. Her dog was a rescue dog and really playful. She’d been used for breeding and just kept in a kennel after she needed a Caesar. I told her owner I’d let Buster have pups but wanted Dainty spayed ASAP now she was 3. No pups for her with her temperament.
Both dogs were panting like mad when they got back and I was sweating cause I’d got my coat on. If I’m hot in my coat I know the dogs are. I need a reminder as Dainty can’t pant well with a muzzle on. I don’t need to take water all the time as there are places where she can get wet to keep her cool. Walks are going to be restricted if this summer breaks all records, again.
Went as close as I could to pumping station but didn’t want to put dogs on the lead. Very difficult to tell on a breezy day but shield extends well onto 3rd field and may cover pumping station. Well pleased. Only time will possibly lose ground now is when connect water battery. Field strength may drops by 3 to 5% for a 48 hour period. Field strength should be up another 10 to 15% by then though.
Couldn’t believe the way the church is in the news today. I really need some good music to take my mind of that. Hope 2CR are up to scratch. I do hate their adverts though. I hate most adverts. May be why TV is bad for kids. Interrupts the flow of thought. How films are edited is dodgy as well, I think.

Bread
Ang went back to hers as I woke her unpacking the dog food. Decided to get some bread and milk for weekend. Could only take Buster as can’t leave Dainty outside on her own. She’ll go for any child that comes near her. Even though she’s muzzled she can still knock them over. She’d have been destroyed by now if she didn’t have a muzzle. Hopefully during the summer holidays she’ll get more exposure to children while on the lead. She has never met any and fears them. They suddenly wave their arms, shout, scream and start running. Last year we had a car and they never got to meet many people as we drove to country walks all the time. She’s the most obedient of the two though and when called comes quickly and will put her head through her choke chain. Buster hates being put on the lead. I’ve tried treats and praise but only get results for short periods. If I try and phase the treats out he stops coming. Too many treats and he will gain weight. Dainty goes off her food when she has treats so maintains her own weight.
I’ve got to do another journey out now as Dainty not had a proper walk yet and Buster not got off lead to exercise his muscles properly yet. I could do with some countryside as well. Fields and trees and water and sky and birds. Ang had a bird on her windowsill yesterday she said was blue.

Spuds
Struggled to get out of bed this morning. Angela came over last night. She’s feeling a bit better today and woke me at 6.30ish. Hopefully get to shops today as she can mind the dogs while I get a few things. Spent last night watching TV so still haven’t done shop on-line. Got to defrost freezer as been running over two years and a bit icy inside. Only a couple of things left inside. 2 vegetarian chillies, a few frozen chips and some Yorkshire puddings. Hopefully start defrosting today.
Will check boundary line today now 1 bedroom wall on-line. Sports centre is causing problems because of its black and yellow. Will be interesting to see where it feels it extends to today. No real disturbances in area for a while. Noticed a police car near the house of the man that beat me up yesterday. I don’t walk past his house now unless I’ve got to. Thankfully that’s not often.
Have to get some more done in bedroom today but Ang gone to bed for a while here. Will get to shops when she wakes. Potatoes are starting to show in garden so we should get some crop this year. Maybe not carrots, tomatoes and lettuce as well. Think the coriander is showing but can’t be sure yet.
Dog’s had breakfast and their dog food arrived earlier. I order it on-line from Zooplus.
Dainty won’t eat British pedigree chum now. She only likes this German stuff. I think it’s far superior. Got to sort dog food cupboard out now so I use stock in correct order. Need some more mixer from Sainsbury’s as well. We use their own brand cause it so much cheaper than pedigree and seems as good. Dogs won’t touch their dog food though. Gives them the runs if they eat it. They were weaned on pedigree chum though and weetabix.

Another walk
Finished blue on wall. May only do one coat but need to tidy up white post as had a few runs. Most of the time had a neighbours dog whining because they’ve gone out I think. Sounded so pitiful. Worse than a baby crying to me.
Got dogs out for another walk. They met a group of other dogs and said hello. There were two springers and a staffie turned up with a little terrier. Dainty was unfriendly but she’s muzzled because of it. She’s unspayed yet and doesn’t like males getting too sniffy. Buster had great fun and didn’t want to come on. We circled round and I listened to the birds going crazy. Dainty was chasing all the dandelion fairies in the air. One path we went down was covered with them at the sides. It was an amazing site and sound.
That’s dog’s last proper walk of the day now. Just out on the green twice before bed. Saw some more news earlier. A robot you now. Crazy world. Got 2CR on again now but had to play a few songs off the TV. Before I went out played Birdhouse in your Soul. When I came back Road Rage and Road to Hell. Radio not bad at minute. Paint fumes are dying down in flat now thankfully.

Adverts
Managed to finish ceiling paint. Small patch left to do but think it may end up white. Can’t talk about news because of contract with advertising company. I’m not allowed to discuss illegal drugs. Good time to stop for a smoke break though before I start the wall. Can’t smoke while doing this so it helps cut down smoking. I’ve got to make an appointment to have some tests done but don’t see the point if I’m not going to give up smoking. Lately I’m doing well cause I’m so busy. By the way the world is going I’ll be one of the last smokers, thankfully. I don’t take a smoke out with me any more either. Only indoors now. Angela moans about what I’m doing to the dogs but we’ve never managed to both go out for smokes. I got an extractor fan installed and use that a lot. The windows are opened if there is a breeze but that doesn’t clear it as much as the fan.
Have to clean blue brush now as best I can as using a much lighter blue. Blue for police, psychic abilities, purity and wellbeing. This blue is high purity and well being. I will cap it with the horn of a unicorn sparking with magic. Purple forks with black and white in days to come.

Ham Common
Got the dogs on a decent walk to Ham Common. The swan wasn’t at the lake today so Dainty managed a swim. Buster just went in for a paddle. They made friends with a little dog on the way back and I spoke to its owner about the weather. Hopefully I’ve got 3 hours to get on with painting. I’ve only got one blue brush so must use last of ceiling paint up before change blue to wall undercoat. Wish had another brush but trying to use as few as possible. Don’t know whether to start symbol or apply background first. This is for all the unicorns.
It was good the smell of burnt toast was out the flat when I got back. Kept reminding me of Alice in Wonderland. Funny what thoughts smells bring to mind?

Flaky
My visitors earlier wanted to talk about different things. One was football. I told him this story.
When I was in Junior school I used to play. I was 9 or 10. Racing up the right wing with the ball chased by Stanley Ruddock. He couldn’t catch me. He took my legs from under me. I learnt. I watched football through the 70’s onwards in the news. Violence on and off the pitch. I love the game but hate what goes with it. Now it is all tied up will TV channels etc.
Using my words they said I was a bit flaky at the minute. Not surprised really. Had the crap kicked out of me 10 days ago. Thought I was going to die. My wife ended up losing it with a policeman and I had to get him out quick day’s later. She’s in bits over this. She had to watch. As I told them though I’ve had worse. An iron bar around the back of the head. Loadsa blood then. Five guys, one with a baseball bat. Never any broken bones though.
Only ever had my nose broke and slipped and snapped wrist once. Managed to burn my toast for breakfast earlier. Got no more bread til do a shop at Sainsbury’s on-line later. Should have done it last night but wanted to watch Holby City and get to bed early.
Got radio on 2CR while composing this. Had enough of news on TV. Famous footballer died. Nice to have music on when there is bad news like that. Didn’t hear about footballers death until after visitors went as had just settled down to news when they arrived. Haven’t managed to get first coat done yet as needed to get washing up done and floors swept. Dogs deserve a good day today as only got two long walks yesterday. Did too many posts and listened to too much music. They played ball a bit indoors though and got out to the toilet every 3 hours. I’ll get some more painting done when taken them out again.

Visitors
Woke early today as had to get dogs sorted for a visitor. They arrived late and brought someone with them. Was ages before they went and dogs had to stay in bedroom. Got them straight out after they’d gone. I managed to get white post finished yesterday. Should get first colour applied today. Hopefully two coats today as will start early. Finished eye in lounge yesterday but needs top coat.
Its symbolism is for human belief in prophecy. Seeing the future. That’s why it surrounds the light switch. Just paint though. Art. Something I must do.
Angela is still away so she doesn’t have to put up with fumes. I must get going as need first coat on to dry this morning.

Foot patrol
I examined the shield distance this morning on the dog’s first walk and discovered I’ve lost 1 to 200 yards. It fails just beyond the church. Presumably this is because the battery is now draining power as it charges and weakening the field temporarily. Because of the field shape the fields on the far side of the school are covered and thus the school and its fault filled mural. That weakens the field strength a lot. I’m covering a stretch of train line and part of an army range as well. Good site. Must complete 2 walls and align waste. I love fine tuning things. Can’t wait get to the forth wall and over 70% strength. Hard to calculate what maximum will be? Dimensions, plastic, wood and windows and doors are all multipliers. Uncoated surface, unbalanced dimensions, colour can all have negative effects.
Got to find some good music to play as news is so depressing. The last 25 to 50 of a rare Malaysian rhino. Habitat destruction and poaching. Poppies in Afghanistan. No bombs in Iraq that have heard of in last few days. Just as my body constantly consumes its own blood and I shed hair and skin so death goes on in the world. In another city a bomber packs his bag, switches off the light and heads for the square. Will he be unlucky and his bomb destroys no-one but himself or will Muhammed apologise to Jesus for the shame his children bring to his people. Muslim should not kill Muslim.

Crying again
Last night saw me in bed at about 11.15. Was getting painful again by then. This morning was a rude awakening. My head was splitting. Took a soluble aspirin and tried to understand. Possible exposure to paint fumes during the night. Urine very dark though so more likely build up of toxins overnight. Felt like a hangover but is clearing as I take on fluids. Shoulder pain is almost non existent today. Expect speed up in healing now as batteries will carry through night tonight in all probability. Well into my sleep cycle anyway. Sunlight poor today though so may not get full charge. The charging panel is massive with a cooler and south facing.
The door is causing a problem as the paint is still not dry. This happens sometimes. Time may heal this but I may not be able to complete it today. I can continue with the wall and will strengthen its effect hopefully in the next two days. While Angela is away I must get as much done as possible. I need a warm wind to keep temperature up and dry the paint. At the minute I’m having to warm flat up to get two coats done a day.
The service yesterday for the kidnapped BBC reporter had me in tears. Made me appreciate the news so much more. Just wish I could talk to his captors.

Darkness
The battery is still drying and the pain relief is coming in waves now it is dark. Dawn is roughly 6am so it will continue til 11.30pm and recommence at dawn. This means the shield(?) is pulsing. Until it dries this will occur during dark tonight.
By shield(?) I mean the zone of unlikelyhood of negative occurrence and dampening of accident potential. To my knowledge this cannot extend beyond one half mile radius from the d-field generator. Although I intend to test this presumption. I know the field has to nullify any incorrect components within it and is reduced in diameter by this. The local garage is a pain being black and red, promoting violent bloodshed. For a populated area progress must be slow.

Tonight
Any charge achieved will maintain expanded shield(?) at dark tonight. The shield(?) should now extend onto field nearest Blandford road. Roll on dark and dawn tomorrow when a full charge will be achieved to power all through dark. Tonight a charge sufficient to power for 20% of dark was achieved. The battery will be fixed in 3 days and functioning at optimum.
The pain in my left shoulder is growing as I type but circuits are offline til dark. With the injuries I sustained I might not have survived or been able to cope with pain putting things offline sooner. Neighbours were disturbing Buster earlier. Managed to keep him quiet. Been watching the soaps even though Angela is over her flat. She hates paint fumes.

And more
I’ve upgraded the batteries and field strength has plummeted as the batteries came online. Until batteries are charged to 50% field strength will be reduced. In 3 days field strength should be maintainable during nighttime. I cannot increase waste realignment until field strength is maintainable as the pumping station must be encompassed in shield(?). Distance to achieve is approximately 2000 yards. This should be achieved when 2nd wall comes on-line. Final objective. Distance healing up to spinal regrowth for paraplegics. That’s all this building capable of.
So far
Managed to get one wall of bedroom online. This will increase the effect of all waste as the sunlight hits the wall. The pumping station will be causing the potential for accidents and mechanical failure in any object coming within proximity. Also, bad luck for people. The extending shield(?) from my d-field amplifier does not yet encompass this area. My batteries are poorly formed and not yet fully charged. I will remedy this today. I intend, if allowed, to take back my planet of birth. You are warned.
Jack Russell's
Second walk yesterday Buster had two incidents with Jack Russell’s going for him. He tries so hard to get on with them but they are a hateful breed. I couldn’t believe it when the owner threatened to let his attack Buster. I hate Sundays. Something always goes wrong. Their final walk ended up as some playtime on the green outside the flat. We’ve vowed to do better today. So far we’ve got them to the green behind Angela’s flat and Buster had to back on lead because he barked at a council workman picking up litter into a non-biodegradable black bag. I’m trying to find a place to get biodegradable poo bags for the dogs. I use nappy bags at the minute. Usually 5 bags a day, 365 days a year. Locally you can be fined on the spot £75 if you don’t clean it up.
We spent some time listening to music videos off the TV yesterday. We repeated Birdhouse in your Soul, Twist in My Sobriety, Where the Wild Roses grow, Spiders web, Sound of the Underground, Road rage, The Road to Hell and Gangsta’s Paradise. We also replayed Kelly Clarkson’s Walk Away before they ran out of time. Wish 2CR was playing things like that. The news is on at the minute. Have managed to sand down next wall. This will bring bedroom on-line when 2 more colours applied. Must complete door today. Dogs need a walk soon though.
My Covenant page has had 23 computers visit it since Earth Day broadcast. None in last 48 hours though. Maybe not good news.

Thunder
We’ve been listening a lot to 2CR since I phoned and emailed them. Angela has enjoyed the music instead of the news channels on TV. Yesterday took a few photo’s on the last walk we went with dogs. Just missed getting the camcorder out for first swifts of the year. They gather at a small beach near where we live. The tide was in and they didn’t stop long enough to get pictures or video.
Gave out 2 cards to 2 woman handing religious booklets out on doorstep early yesterday. Wonder if they will take a look. I’m looked in at Earth Day as well and passed on the link to my Covenant of ARK page. Didn’t wait to hear what was said as was gone midnight before they started talking. It makes me determined to complete the Genesis Report. That really is about Blood and Thunder.
Today got dogs out before 8.15 for first long walk. Then thought a lot about why the Covenant of ARK is written the way it is. Here it is
The Covenant of ARK.
To promote the definition of Primary Second Sentients to be any creature that can obey one hand less the thumb of commands or more. This is 4 or more in number.
Any such creature may not be used as human food.
To promote the definition of Major Second Sentients to be any creature that can obey two hands less the thumbs or more of commands. This is 8 or more in number.
Any such creature should be granted rights in line with the Declaration of Human Rights.
To establish connections with all agencies that will promote this covenant and establish the full list of all Primary and Major Second Sentients.
It had to be simple to understand so why complicate it and refer to thumbs. Science explains that we are different from animals simply because of our thumbs. These adapted and allowed us to manipulate tools and finally our environment. For that reason we control the planet. Take away our thumbs and we’d be animals again. Think of the animals who have no thumbs. The church places us higher than animals treating them inferior and the secular world enslaves and eats most. Why is this so if cannibalism is so frowned upon? Do not some feel pain and the loss of their young. They are just stronger than us and don’t show as much grief. Also it’s a jungle out there and you can’t mope for long. Unless you’re an Elephant stroking a lost ones bones. You have time to ponder for you stand with little fear.
We must recognize this humanity in the animal world and that’s what the Covenant of ARK tries to do. It allows you to be dramatic when explaining it. By holding your hands up to someone. It clarifies it’s meaning and begs for discussion. It is a beginning.

Blood
Today began with the thought that the man that beat me and my loss of blood resulted in the death hours later of 32 in VT is bailed. I lost a small amount yesterday as well. I’m so sorry. I was careless. I try to be so careful. I refuse blood tests for this reason as well. I play no sport. But I must stop these thoughts and forget how I suffered through Vietnam. Forget every day and not believe for that will drive me mad. I do enjoy my walks with the dogs and my wife though.
I have a few numbered cards left, I’ve only done 40 so far out of the 249. I intend handing a few more out today as we have to go out. Lets hope we choose the times to avoid meeting the guy that beat me.
Walk was ok. We made it to Co-op so now we have chocolate. First for ages. And Doctor who tonight. Did some tidying up when got back and getting ready to continue painting. Next circuit will not come on-line for some time though. Possibly up to 6 or 8 weeks. That will only take it up to about 55%. Will have to work on complexity of this part. I must incorporate purple. I need to bring the other parts up to full strength as well. I may do it Sunday as I need the bathroom tonight.

Untitled
We had toast and grapefruit for breakfast today. I stole that idea from the psychiatric hospitals. Mind you there you have to fight for the grapefruit there's so little. Not as bad as the prisons though. There you have to pick the insects out your bread and survive on almost no micro nutrients because most things are dried unless you can pay. It’s only the drugs that stop them from exploding every day.
Time to take dogs out soon so will get back to this later.
I’s back. I used to think long and hard about it in prison. If the bread was what failed inspection. What else was. The flour. Everything. The health implications were worrying. You kick up a fuss though and the screws have accidents moving you around. Don’t know state of prisons today as it’s been a while since I tasted the food.
In one prison a nest of cockroaches was living inside a bag of flour. The crime does not fit these punishments.

Police
Today started in pain as did yesterday. You see on Sunday about half an hour after finishing blog I got severely beaten on my front garden. I’m starting to recover but the damage to the garden prolly means the seeds we planted have been lost. We tidied it up after the police had gone but Monday morning we were greeted with more damage. Soil had been kicked all over the path to the front door from the lettuce and tomato bed.
So far today we’ve managed to get dogs down to shops once. I’m making poor decisions at the minute and Buster ended up chasing and barking at someone in a wheelchair. I shouldn’t have had him off the lead. Be glad when I get back to myself again. Yesterday was very surreal and only managed to get dogs out for one long walk. Other walks of the day were just out onto the green out the front of the flat. I was in too much pain to go far and Angela can’t manage Buster because he’s too strong.
As the day has gone on things seemed ok until Angela saw the guy that beat me up going down the road. She got upset again and we rang the police. They took the details and an officer came around to take a statement from Angela about when it happened on Sunday. She got really upset and the officer had to leave before he was finished. We still haven’t received the phone call to say he’s been arrested and are nervous to go further than the green outside the front door.
I feel in despair that I may have to leave the flat and move elsewhere as if this man is going to stay in this area I am not safe and neither are our dogs or my wife.

Memories
Yesterday when we got back from the pumping station we tried to catch up on a little sleep but neighbour woke us after an hour. She wanted to apologize for trouble last night. We had aubergine bake we made to eat. Came out quite well even though we just threw everything in the oven uncooked. After that we purchased a few music tracks off the TV and watched them. Oasis Wonderwall and Don’t look back in Anger, Madonna American Pie, Alannah Miles Black Velvet, Prince When Doves Cry, Pretenders I’ll Stand by You, and Nirvana Smells like Teen Spirit. Took up a bit of time then we took the dogs out for a walk again. We try and get them out every 3 hours according to the weather. Afterwards I waited for the Grand National to start. I wanted to see how accurate the prediction would be. I lost count of the number of fallers because I was crying so much. I know that some refused and that only 13 out of 40 finished. I predicted 23 would fall so I must have been close. I was so upset at seeing all the horses fall and being whipped over the line. We went out with the dogs again to Lychettt Bay.
When we came back I fed the dogs. It was nearly time for Doctor Who so I watched a bit of news channels and Angela went on her computer. I was a bit disappointed in the episode this week. It seemed lacking something. Can’t put my finger on it. Roll on next week. Maybe it will go back up to the standard it normally is. We spent rest of evening watching TV and crashed about 11.
Today started just after 7. We usually lie in Sunday. Got dogs sorted and out on a long walk by 8.30. Got back at 9.50 in time for the Heaven and Earth show and Countryfile. While they were on rang friend and arranged to meet. Got train with Angela and dogs at 10.56. Angela left some more cards on train. We stayed a while with friend and then came back. On the way back Angela left more cards on the train. The train back was on the way to London. Just hope they get picked up and not just binned when the train is cleaned. I also gave one to a young guy at the station. He turned it over and said “Who’s signed it” I replied “Me” and he said “cool”. Seemed a nice lad. He was with a few of his friends but Buster barked at him so I didn’t get much chance to talk as had to pull Buster away.
When we got home I made us our breakfast drink and I watched a bit of the Politics show. It reminded me of the only holiday I took as a child. My father had a slipped disc operation and was sent by the fire brigade to Littlehampton for 2 weeks to convalesce. That’s the only reason we every got a holiday cause it was paid for by the fire brigade.
I don’t regret my upbringing apart from the beatings and bullying by kids at school and teachers. I’ll tell them all “It taught me nothing it just held me back”. I remember later in my life after suffering at the hands of a bully over a sustained period he realised he couldn’t intimidate me physically so he used a weapon. My response to having a gun placed against my head was to say the line “Go ahead, make my day”. He backed off. That’s another story though.

Grand National Design
I right these words today
I have something to say
For the horses that die
I now cry
The race is unfair
Does anyone care
As they fall at the fence
Just racing nonsense
One jockey I demand
Hold back your hand
Don’t use your whip
Your horse will trip
Which will it be
How about 23
Having got that over with I’ve got to talk about my home/temple. I’ve spent a lot of time in preparation and obeying simple rules in its interior design. As I’ve said it is over 40% complete. A lot of work was needed and it was activated about 2 months ago. I think it is a level 3 d-field amplifier. It is situated in the centre of a block of 6. All connected homes will be beginning to be affected by the increased flow in the d-field. This will have beneficial affect so long as the colour rules are not broken within these properties.
All material passing through the amplifier is also beginning affected. This is both the water and air and all wastes. The waste system of the temple is connected, I think, to a local pumping station. This pumping station breaks the rules externally and will be affecting anyone coming within site of it negatively.
Recently there has been an upsurge in incidents locally.
A burnt out car.
The local community centre was subject to an arson attack.
The neighbour and her friend who visits her are extremely disruptive lately. She has a mural in her bedroom that breaks the rules.
This is circumstantial evidence and I am not risking a charge of criminal damage to correct the problem and reverse the effect of the pumping station. It only needs minor adjustments but doing this will risk my freedom. It does however cause me to pause in completion of my temple as the next stage will take it to over 70% complete and almost double the strength of all effects. This could be highly detrimental to the area.
At 9.32 I discharged about 1 gallon of water that had been in the temple. This afternoon I will discharge the remaining bathwater that has been used to water the garden over the last few days. The bathroom is a strong part of the d-field generator circuit although not at full strength yet.
After this we took the dogs on a walk to the pumping station so I could examine it in detail. One side has red, yellow and orange in contact with black. This will cause ill health and violence or violent behaviour.
Another side has red and brown in contact with black. This will cause violence or violent behavior and disease.
The third side I didn’t look at.
We came back and I finished this.

Friday 13th part 2
Still feeling out of sorts. Can’t get on with anything so watched news. Turned over and watched Wainwrights Walks where they mentioned a razors edge like one of poems in part 1 today. Watched a repeat of 2 Doctor who episodes. One had Shakespeare in it. The other had a lot of similarities to My Belief System and Web Theory. The episode also named the sphere or ship as the Genesis Ark. When you examine my site you will see the significance in that. I don’t know when these episodes were written but note the dates on the web pages on my site. After a while we decided to go early to fetch Angela’s prescription from the chemist and take dogs on a walk. We took a path we had never been along in the 4 years we’ve lived in the area. It led around Upton Country House and was a delight. We walked slowly and were amazed by the beauty of the area. The shoreline of Poole harbour to one side and fields and majestic trees to the other. We came across a large pond with ducks on it and stayed a while. Some already had chicks. It was the highlight of our day and Dainty and Buster had new territory to explore. I took some photos of some off the older trees. Here’s the one that had most impact on us.
We had to turn back before we had completed the walk because of the lateness of the hour and vow to return as soon as we can find time.
We returned home after collecting the prescription and I went to bed at 8.30. as I was very tired. At 11 Angela woke me to take dogs out for last wee and we both slept again.
We were woken at 1.55 by neighbours arguing. The police arrived and left. We decided to get up and begin our day. We made coffee and prepared for dawn. We watched news channels until roughly 5.30 and then took the dogs to Ham Common. Buster barked at the milk man and we felt terrible about it at such an early hour on a Saturday.
The walk was serene and the lake had mist rising on its surface. There were a few moorhens being noisy and seagulls washing their wings. Dainty went in the lake for a swim and Buster played on the shore running in circles as he does. We stayed about 20 minutes just taking it all in. Large fish would occasionally break surface. All that marred this idyllic vista was the sound of traffic in the distance behind the call of the moorhens and seagulls.
We came home and Angela had toast and cream cheese for breakfast. I had toast with butter and a little salt.(Today may be hot). We talked about my beliefs and the local neighbourhood’s current problems. I typed this and now have the idea for today’s post.

Friday 13th part 1
Woke up worried today. Did usual and then tried to think of something to do. Decided to post some new poetry.
The feeling being on the edge of a razor.
Knowing things which defy your life.
Feeling steel in your vein.
Tomorrow cuts like a knife.
.......................................................
Try to undo that not yet done.
Who is the when?
Does it affect more than one?
What will you do?
Just get there and see!
Try it, like me
.......................................................
I am this which I say.
Tell you also it weighs heavy.
I must follow this way.
Yet others talk of insanity.
........................................................
(Rewrites of lost poems)
Fire and Ice do Water make.
Countries starve yet leaders take.
Land and Oh, so grand,
Those great big lakes of sand.
Warmth and power,
An open flower.
F.I.R.E........Federation for Immediate Reform of the Environment
I.C.E...........International Confederation for the Environment.
W.A.T.E.R...What All Terrestrial Existence Requires.
New lines of (prophecy).
A mars a day helps you enslave, beat and starve
A child on a plantation.
They just work, no rest or play.
And each of the lashes carve
Another indentation.
They just work, no rest or play
This fragmented world of hidden choices
Guided by so many voices
Looks upon itself rarely
For it can always be
A determined visionary
It can decide with one voice
To make a simple choice
To take to heart a simple meaning
Behold Gods mind screaming
The dog they skinned alive
His sister sits in her cage
He was number five
How many times I rage
Tomorrow they will tell you all
The last has just died
Another axe will fall
We all tried?
Life really got in the way
But one thing more
Is all I had to say
With all I saw
Why the hell pray
Get off your ass once more
And do something today
Karma comes back times four
Could be anyway
Who’s law
My way.
(rewrite of lost poem...fragment)
To be or not to be.
Shakespeare asked the question
To be was best, no matter what
Just to feel all of life’s sensation
The feeling being on the edge of a razor.
Knowing things which defy your life.
Feeling steel in your vein.
Tomorrow cuts like a knife.

How I now travel
Yesterday was a nightmare. Had to meet someone so took the train and arrived at 10.45. Used mobile to ring them at 11 when they hadn’t turned up. They were still 30 miles away having problems loading their lorry. He told me he’d be another hour. At 12.15 he rang again and told me he was now on the road but stuck in traffic 25 miles away. An hour later he rang and said he’d be 20 minutes. He finally arrived at just before 2.
With that happening and taking the dogs on walks I didn’t manage to get much else done. I managed to finish Tuesdays post though.
While waiting for the train to take me home I met a Rastafarian with 24 year old dreadlocks. They were amazing. Some hanging down to below his knees. He’d just delivered a car to the area and was on his way back to London. He was engrossed in a newspaper and commented that he was getting paid to read it all the way home. Wish I’d had one of my cards to give him as he said he was vegetarian. Missed an opportunity.
Today we got up at just before 7. Usual routine of dogs out. Coffee. News. Dogs fed and out. Breakfast today was poached egg and beans on toast. After breakfast we went on a long walk with dogs. Took about an hour.
When we got back I checked emails and Mum had sent me a link of the Eiffel Tower at night Quite impressive waste of electricity can be seen. I’d love to do a detailed analysis of that d-field amplifier. Don’t know if the plans are available. (Note to self….search internet when time.) As it was begun in 1887 it’s probably a high grade device.
After that Angela and I took the dogs into Poole on the train. Angela left some of my cards on a few tables while I looked after the dogs. We did some shopping and Angela got some photos done for her passport. We came home and Angela left some more cards in different carriages on the train.
The cards are simple and have ARK and Automatic Rights Konnet on them. They also have the email and web address of the ARK website. Also each one is signed on the back and numbered.
Only 20 have been handed out so far.
Only 249 exist.
This is another thing we are doing.
When we got back I made what we have for breakfast a lot. I put 2 handfuls of nut mix (1 part hazelnuts, almonds, brazils, cashews 2 parts walnuts) into a blender. Add a handful of sunflower and pumpkin seed mix and a pint of milk. Blend for 30 seconds. Then add one cored apple, 3 bananas, 2 inches of cucumber and a small carrot all cut in pieces. Blend with another half pint of milk. It makes loads Angela has a couple of mugs full and I have about a pint and a half.
Afterwards we took the dogs out for their first formal training session today. They are learning STAY for next few days.
Made a Thai Green curry with some prawns from a recipe on BBC website. Turned out quite well even though didn’t have all the ingredients and used prawns instead of chicken.
Watched a bit more news and then began writing this. Took a break and then we went out for a long walk with dogs. Came back and settled down for a bit of TV. Fed dogs their supper and then started copying up post.
Took a small break to water garden with Angela's bath water.
Reread and finished.
With that happening and taking the dogs on walks I didn’t manage to get much else done. I managed to finish Tuesdays post though.
While waiting for the train to take me home I met a Rastafarian with 24 year old dreadlocks. They were amazing. Some hanging down to below his knees. He’d just delivered a car to the area and was on his way back to London. He was engrossed in a newspaper and commented that he was getting paid to read it all the way home. Wish I’d had one of my cards to give him as he said he was vegetarian. Missed an opportunity.
Today we got up at just before 7. Usual routine of dogs out. Coffee. News. Dogs fed and out. Breakfast today was poached egg and beans on toast. After breakfast we went on a long walk with dogs. Took about an hour.
When we got back I checked emails and Mum had sent me a link of the Eiffel Tower at night Quite impressive waste of electricity can be seen. I’d love to do a detailed analysis of that d-field amplifier. Don’t know if the plans are available. (Note to self….search internet when time.)

A bit of history
Today has been slow to get going. Angela and I have taken the dogs out 2 times for proper walks. I woke at 7 and took dogs out for a wee. Had a Fair Trade coffee and watched a few news channels for a while. Fed the dogs after about an hour and we took them out for a poo. We went to the local shops as we had a few things to get. Had poached egg on toast for breakfast and then checked all email accounts and reread yesterdays ramblings. Now I'm ready to begin todays diatribe.
I want to say today what I’ve been doing, so far along the way in my life, to make a difference. Cos boy have I kicked up a fuss. Only problem is I’ve always done it on my own. It’s cost me dear but I cannot stop.
First time I made a stand was in Lichfield. I was about 17. That takes us back to 1979.
I went through the town centre and trashed a group of cars. I also set fire to a haystack on a trailer in a field. I believed I would get the chance to say in court why I had done it. I didn’t however and will now explain each action in turn.
The cars were done because of my hatred for what private ownership of cars has done to the world. Here’s a list of the problems.
Large number of deaths on roads and many are children
Massive habitat destruction for road building.
Major contributor to consumption of fossil fuels, the raw source of plastics. Some of the most important substances mankind has developed.
Massive producer of urban pollution.
The haystack was done because of my hatred for farmers and their abuse of the land and livestock. All through my childhood I had visited agriculture shows throughout the UK and studied. Well treated animals do not fear. They were few and far between. I saw vast advertising for chemical cocktails to spray on the land and crops and all sorts of devices to do it.
They were the reasons and I never got chance to say. I just got a criminal conviction and its corresponding punishment. I took it on board and decided to change my approach.
Time moved on a bit.
In those days I carried a small portable cassette recorder around with me. Loved music you see. I could sing a bit although no-one knew as I kept it to myself. I was homeless at this time in my birth town of Coventry just before Christmas. In the early hours of the morning I sat on the steps of the statue of Lady Godiva and recorded a tape.
It was songs and poems. It was my plea to humanity. A full cassette of original work sung and spoken through tear filled eyes. I believed it was going to be the last thing I would do. I believed I would die of hyperthermia for I was so cold and tired. Problem was I woke up the next day.
On went time and I ended up sleeping on a sofa in a café used by bikers in Birmingham.
My only possessions a few clothes, a cassette recorder and a few cassettes all together in a green Adidas bag. I earned my keep by working in the café cooking the food. No wages. That’s where I lost the tape. They kicked me out one night and refused to give me my stuff. I’d only ever heard that tape once as well.
Time moved on and I spent January in some partly demolished houses. I burnt the window frames in a fireplace to get warm enough to sleep for an hour. I’d wake shivering when the fire died down. It used to be cold in January in Birmingham! I moved from there when my sister’s boyfriend let me sleep in his car. Eventually I found a new job with wages and after a week in hand I got money and moved into a bed and breakfast.
A bed was good after so long without. One of the guys in the room had a cassette player that he let me use. It was amazing. The cassette would eject itself when finished, turn over and go back in the machine and play the other side. Many a night I fell asleep with headphones on listening to Sgt Peppers and awake with it still playing. I used to love the Beatles. I’m afraid I don’t like Paul McCartney because of the song Band on the run. I feel it’s too close to a sequence on the tape I made. I also feel Band Aids Feed the World is as well. I’ve no reason to believe the tape was ever found or listened to so try to dismiss these thoughts.
Things happened that prevented me doing much but in 1988 I began in earnest again.
I started writing poetry and prose and began sending it to the media. Giving it away.
I moved from Birmingham and continued the media push in Coventry where I moved to. Here I targeted the local radio station and newspaper and the BBC. It was a sustained campaign over a number of weeks. Here’s some of the material that was sent.
You are Hitler, I am the Jew
You are the waiter, I am Hindu
You are the strong, I am the weak
I am the one who has come to speak (line rewritten ….one you always defeat)
To talk of tales and different ways (added lines)
To guide mankind to better days
Delivering a dream from afar
Uniting Christian with Allah

The multi-coloured lizard.
When he arrived on this planet
Oh God dammit
For hope, and glory
This is his story
When he arrived on that day
They had to take him away
"How could this be" they had said
Man with tail and lizards head
How could his skin glow in that way
They had to know, but he wouldn't say
Then when landed on the slab
A tiny needle jab
(Lost verses)
(Lost verses)
When the skin didn't glow
What had they to show
And his great tail
Which they had to impale
They found living laser inside
Now dead, they cried
But the lizard lived on
He had to say before gone
For the Hope, not Glory
That's the story.
I contacted the radio station and spoke. They thanked me and said yes they were interested in what I had done. It also showed in the green upsurge that happened in the programs they transmitted. Then I sent a poem in which I claimed to be Jesus back on Earth.
Never did I expect them to deny all knowledge of me and all my work when I next phoned them. But they did. They stopped me from placing the Covenant of ARK before humanity 19 years ago.
Now we move forward to 2004. This is 1 year after umpteen incarcerations in mental institutions for saying one thing. “I believe I’m Jesus back on Earth”.
I started trying again. I started with a site about churches and why they are unsuitable for healing. I also wrote pages on other things that I’d really like to get heard. I’ve emailed hundreds of people. Politicians, vegetarian societies, wildlife organization and the media.
No one replied.
I’ve maintained the site and updated when I could. When all this failed to get a response I opened this blog. It’s now registered with BritBlog.
What I believe may be true.
If it is I think Earth should listen.
If it isn’t I may still have something of importance to say.
In addition to the website and blog is the preparation of my temple so it is possible to heal in it.
It is currently over 40% complete.
Time will tell.

Weather or not
Managed to get through Easter without an Easter egg. Haven't had chocolate since saw a report a few weeks back about bonded child labour in cocoa picking. One childs view was "If you eat chocolate you are eating my flesh". I'm trying to find a place to buy Fair Trade chocolate thats local now. Harder to find than savoury vegetarian snacks.(No I don't want a cheese and oinion pasty thanks)
Today two friends came to visit and we took the dogs for a long walk. We talked of many things including Mel Gibsons The passion of the Christ. It was glorious in the hot April sun. I cannot believe other than that global warming is far more advanced than even the IPCC report summary out a few days ago says. This report is based on data 3 years old. In a document I published in 2004 I stated that levels had reached over 9.8 on a scale from -10 to 10. During the 3 years since the factors that will cause global warming have reached 10. I believe all possible factors are in play. Thus 10 on the scale. This will now cause an exponential growth in weather extremes, temparatures and thus sea levels. We, humans, should be preparing for this as an immediate priority or this will be the worst disaster humanity has ever known. Far greater than the Holocaust, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Darfur, Ethiopia and Pompeii put together. I believe unluckily for mankind the sun is producing low radiation currently. A Nasa document states "the next solar minimum is expected to be in January 2007, with an uncertainty of 13 months". This means globally it should have been getting a little cooler over the last few years. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Worm pit.
Finally got dogs fed and can get another post done. Spent afternoon walking dogs and gardening. My sister said to me today I'd only got a small garden and it was not much work and I replied it's the preparation. This is how I did it with Angela's help.
First I cleared all the weeds and plants about a month ago and saved them in a pile. With the sun we've had during that time they were very wilted today. It's best to use grass clippings and hedge trimmings like I did when I first did this as a young lad. I only had weeds etc to hand.
Today I dug a second trench about a foot deep, two foot long and 18 inches wide. This trench, like the first I did a few days ago, I lined with the very wilted plants. I then chopped them up with the shovel. This will hopefully stop them regrowing.
Two days ago I filled the first trench with soil I'd passed through a riddle. The stones from it I buried under a slab next to the compost heap.
Today I piled the stones at the opposite end of the compost heap as I riddled the soil back into the trench. Angela helped as it is a two person job.
There's three things that are important. When digging the trenches you must save all the worms you come across. Also any you see in the riddle as you are passing soil through it. These worms you keep and before you level the riddled soil you place them on the plant material at the bottom of the trench.
Why you may ask. Well any gardener knows worms are a gardeners best friend. There poo is perfect plant food. More worms, more worm poo. More worm poo, better plants, without the need for artificial feeding. Also they are hopefully born in your soil, so when they breed they will have offspring genetically suited for your soil.
When I first did this when I was about 12 I dug the trench up after about 9 months. I was surprised to find a ball of worms the size of a football! From an original group of about 30.
I wonder when I see farmers ploughing fields. Birds devastating the worm population behind the tractor. Farmers wondering why yields are down unless they spread loads of fertiliser. I honestly believe British worm populations are vastly below what they used to be. Thats why every garden I've had access to during my life I've built what I call a "worm pit" in.
Anyway. The first trench now has about 9 potatoes in it and the second has loads of carrot seeds. Should be very well formed when they grow as no stones to get in the way of growing plants. Should be really easy to dig up as well and easy on the tools. We've got a small bit of preparation to do before we get the lettuce and tomatoes in. Hopefully do that tomorrow. I watered the seeds in and am hoping for a little rain tomorrow to help. Much better than using precious drinking water to keep watering them.

Today I rose ..
Today I rose in anticipation. I had lots to look forward to. I've got two short videos on YouTube. The first one is a still of the Covenant of ARK. The second is a small cartoon I threw together and recorded in Windows Movie Maker. Unfortunately no more viewers since yesterday. That was first letdown of the day.
Next I checked if I'd got my email from BritBlog yet. Second letdown of the day. It's not quite 48 hours since I registered this blog though. Got to be patient.
I then decided to look into placing Second Sentients in Wikipedia. I found out something that really got me annoyed. It's not a suitable entry. Apparently it's a neologism. I was not a happy bunny.
I thought about it and decided that if I worried about that I would believe nothing I did was worthwhile. It would negate Web theory. This is explained here and mentioned here. This led to the findings of some research published here.
It did worry me though but thankfully my wife went for a walk with me with our two Springer spaniels. She took a few photos and I came back and wrote this.
We had pasta with homemade sauce when we came home. I can't stand all the rubbish that they put in sauces. I'd never made one before and did it like this.
Put pasta in water and bring to boil.
Crushed 3 garlic cloves with knife and then chopped them.
Added this to some oil in saucepan on low heat and started stirring with a wooden spatula. Angela, my wife, had diced an oinion and I added that after the garlic had sizzled for about a minute. I increased the heat a little and stirred until oinions were starting to cook. Meanwhile Angela had put a tin of tomatoes in a blender. This I added to oinion/garlic mix and brought to the boil. When it started boiling I added a good splash of cider vinegar and some mixed herbs.
By now pasta was cooking and sauce was boiling. Angela had grated some vegetarian chedder and I was stirring sauce. When pasta was cooked the sauce had reduced quite a bit and so I removed it from the heat and stirred in a good handful of grated cheese. I then served the sauce over the pasta with some more grated cheese over the top.
It weren't bad. But I ain't a chef. I just know we don't like chemicals and hydrogenated fats and emulsifiers and preservatives which you find in a lot of sauces you can buy.
We're now about to go out and continue with my front garden. We planted potatoes yesterday and are preparing a trench for carrots today. Thats the best I can do to lower my food carbon footprint. Wish I had a back garden as well.
We're planning on potatoes, carrots, lettuce and tomatoes. Maybe a few herbs as well.

Explanation to Mum
Today twisted and turned. This is what happened.
Yesterday I had emailed my Mum a link to the Covenant of ARK and she emailed back that she didn't understand. I emailed her this.
Hi Mum,
I'm emailing you to try and explain the Covenant of ARK. Please read this and let me know if you still feel you don't understand.
You taught me a great love for living things as I was growing up. It's developed over the years as a passion. Eventually I decided I needed to do something about it but I didn't know what. I hated the majority view they are commodities and that they are treated so badly.
Unlike humans, throughout the world, they have so little rights. No document anywhere elevates their status above animal.
That's the purpose of the Covenant of ARK.
It reclassifies animals to have status. It gives two classifications.
1. Primary Second Sentients
2. Major Second Sentients.
These are names I created from words in the dictionary.
It also explains which animals should fit into which groups.
A Primary Second Sentient is an animal that can be taught to obey 4 or more commands.
Examples are, I think, sheep, bovines, goats.
A Major Second Sentient is an animal that can be taught to obey 8 or more commands.
Examples are, I think, Dolphins, Dogs, Horses,Whales.
It then goes on to say that Primary Second Sentients should not be used as human food and Major Second Sentients should be granted rights in line with the Declaration of Human Rights.
Finally the Covenant goes on to say that it's purpose is to spread itself to anyone that agrees and, with the help of people who agree, compile a list of animals classified in this way.
I agree with this and that is why I am trying to spread it. In the world today it is a much needed document, or something similar.
It is written in the way it is for a reason. Which I will explain to you but I feel I may be boring you so I will stop now.
Catch ya soon.

Colin your heart is in the right place, and yes I understand now what you are saying.but you must include birds. Also you are saying that we must all become vegetarian and that will never happen.I really feel that animals were put on this earth for our use.For our pleasure to cuddle and to love but also for food. That does not mean to say they should be abused in any way.

I then sent this.
Hi Mum,
So glad you understand. I've started a blog and would love to continue this there. Can I have your permission to do this? Here's the link to it.If that doesn't work try this http://arkdoorway.blogspot.com/
What I want to do is put up the email I sent to you and your reply. Catch ya soon.
Colin.
Mum replied.
OK, I am used to having my work published. ROFL

Thanks Mum.
I've thought long about this and understand your position as a breeder of birds. I'm afraid I only feel complex birds such as parrots should be classified as Second Sentients. Primary or Major, I'm not sure which. Maybe you could say as you own some. I don't believe a chicken or turkey can obey 4 commands. Consequently it would be ok to use them for food. Fish as well. Maybe not the octopus or lobster. Has anyone ever tried to train either?
Yesterday I had emailed my Mum a link to the Covenant of ARK and she emailed back that she didn't understand. I emailed her this.
Hi Mum,
I'm emailing you to try and explain the Covenant of ARK. Please read this and let me know if you still feel you don't understand.
You taught me a great love for living things as I was growing up. It's developed over the years as a passion. Eventually I decided I needed to do something about it but I didn't know what. I hated the majority view they are commodities and that they are treated so badly.
Unlike humans, throughout the world, they have so little rights. No document anywhere elevates their status above animal.
That's the purpose of the Covenant of ARK.
It reclassifies animals to have status. It gives two classifications.
1. Primary Second Sentients
2. Major Second Sentients.
These are names I created from words in the dictionary.
It also explains which animals should fit into which groups.
A Primary Second Sentient is an animal that can be taught to obey 4 or more commands.
Examples are, I think, sheep, bovines, goats.
A Major Second Sentient is an animal that can be taught to obey 8 or more commands.
Examples are, I think, Dolphins, Dogs, Horses,Whales.
It then goes on to say that Primary Second Sentients should not be used as human food and Major Second Sentients should be granted rights in line with the Declaration of Human Rights.
Finally the Covenant goes on to say that it's purpose is to spread itself to anyone that agrees and, with the help of people who agree, compile a list of animals classified in this way.
