Jane at Levant: Therapy and a Walk

Therapy and a Walk

( Written as Yesterday) Today I am not feeling so sparky - I have a bout of Shingles which are totally unpleaasant, apparently caused by a breakdown in the immune system - the doctor has prescribed a course of medication which should halt the spread of the infection - I have read the information leaflet - as you do - and the side effects could lead to confusion and dizziness - so whats' new then!! I have decided that therapy is needed - so a short walk on the hillside close by was the outcome. Again I can't guarantee the logic of Blogger and picture posting - hopefully they will go up in the right order- well we shall see!

Shafts of sunlight beamed down from the heavy clouds today - during my walk - it all looked a bit unsettled - very cold - but only frost - no snow

My favourite tree - always a welcoming sight as I pass - standing here as it has stood for many a year.

Have you ever tried tree hugging? so rewarding giving you a feeling of inner peace.

This broom tree in the pathway is building up to burst into bloom - it will be a yellow mass in a few weeks - lighting up the hillside - (can you see my favourite tree in the background?)

I glanced up at the age old rocks above - they must hold many tales of past times!

The gorse was out today - as always - a brilliant yellow - Dusk was approaching as I left the hill - lingering over Caer Caradoc in the distance I am hopefully going to link up with Skywatch and Nature Notes - why not pop over with me ?

Oh Jane, so sorry to hear about your shingles. They sound thoroughly unpleasant. Hope you're feeling better soon. The pictures are gorgeous. Nothing like a crisp walk to lift your spirits.

Nice shots. Makes me want to wander on a walk, too.

So sorry to hear about the shingles. Nasty little buggars.

Sorry to hear about the shingles. Most unpleasant from what I've heard. Have you been under a lot of stress lately? A lovely brisk walk sounds like perfect therapy to me. Hope you're feeling better very soon.

FAIRY -LED

The fairy people flouted me,
Mocked me ,shouted me
They chased me down the dreamy hill and beat me with a wand
Within the wood they found me ,put spells on me and bound me
And left me at the edge of day in John the miller's pond
Beneath the eerie starlight;
Their hair shone curd -white
Their bodies were all twisted like a lichened apple tree
Feather -light and swift they moved,
And never one they loved,
For all were full of dreams and dark designs on me.

With noise of leafy singing
And white wands swinging
They marched away amid the grass that swayed to let them through.
Between the the yellow tansies
Their eyes,like purple pansies,
Peered back on me before they passed all trackless in the dew.

Mary Webb - from the Spring of Joy

Three softly curved white sepals veined with light,

Three green-lined petals,guarding frugal gold,

And all so strong to fold or to unfold!

Snow thunders from the bending pines.How slight

This frail,sheathed stem! Yet all unbent it springs,

So swift in stoopings and recoverings.

In the pale sunshine,with frail wings unfurled,

Comes to the bending snowdrop the first bee.

She gives her winter honey prudently;

And faint with travel in a bitter world,

The bee makes music, tentative and low,

And spring awakes and laughs across the snow.

Short Jokes of the day

Dress Code.

It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

Sick Days

We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

Toilet Use
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "Chronic Offenders category". Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.
Lunch Break
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.
