We all laugh at different things, but what about you? What gets that belly bursting & the tears streaming?
Let’s compare notes 📝
Some of us laugh at the silliest things, like someone slipping in the snow (As long as it isn’t me)
For others, it’s a favourite comedian or a funny joke.
Lots of things make us laugh but what about you?
What gets that belly laugh erupting & the tears streaming?

This week however, my good friend Geshe Lama Ahbay Tulku Rinpoche stopped by to deliver Medicine Buddha blessings & healing prayers.
The meditation room came alive with the sound of Throat Chanting, bells, drums & Tibetan mantra.
This will be the 4th year Ahbay Rinpoche has visited my home, sharing his wisdom, love & compassion and infectious laughter.
Ahbay Rinpoche gives so much to everyone he meets as he travels the world and as anyone who ever met him will agree, ‘once met never forgotten.’
It’s amazing how the presence of one person can change the energy of the whole house just by filling it with loving energy.
Such a beautiful experience.
Our animals are sensitive souls. From the moment they meet us, they know us – just by the energy we give out.
They don’t need any other information. For animals, their only interaction is energy.
Animals live & work with energy it’s all they have. So any change in the environment, or our moods can affect them massively.
If your fur baby is unwell, here are some things you might not have considered:
Green Shield Stamps, Woodbines, Spangles, Nits, Jam Butties & Derbac combs.
All memories of growin up in’t North. But what memories do you have of childhood in the working class backstreet towns of Manchester?
Lets take a trip down memory lane & keep our heritage alive.
Jam butties for your dinner, and if you dropped it on the floor, you’d just brush it off and eat it.
Growing up in the 50s & 60s Northern backstreet towns of Manchester were hard – but there were good memories too.
When folk smoked Woodbines, Camel & Park Drive and cashed in Green Shield Stamps.
The only sanitizer was your mum spitting on her handkerchief to wipe your hands and face?
Summers were hot & winters freezing. And you went out playing in the morning and came back at tea time black as the ace of spades.
When we all shared the same bath water and a single bar of soap washed everyone.
Did you know – A right good belly laugh, not only decreases stress hormones & increases immune cells, it also triggers serotonin known as the body’s natural feel good chemicals.
This & other endorphins released in laughter, can also act to temporarily relieve pain. It’s probably also why, many of us ‘middle agers’ are trying out Laughter Yoga.
Laughter Yoga was created in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria in a park in Mumbai India, and it’s really taken off. Please see link.

Do you feel, like turning 50 made you invisible? Overnight, people suddenly seem to speak louder & more slowly because you’re ‘old’.
The wolf whistles definitely stopped when I turned 50 but thats ok – I don’t keep my wisdom in my ass.
Wisdom of Experience & Wisdom of ageing, both the most precious gift a person can share or receive.
But don’t be fooled! Hitting the big 50 doesn’t mean holding back – or (in the words of the hilariously brilliant ( Sir Billy Connolly) ‘Become Beigeist’
On the contrary!! Listen up our stick thin, fresh air sandwich & skinny latte brigade! We middle agers were once just like you. Before the fat rolls & creaky joints that is, and one hair started sprouting from the chin with a life of its own.
These days, when I get home from work, it’s on with the PJ’s and a good chill out on the sofa. That’s my relaxation buzz.
But just imagine, if each year of your life was the equivalent of 7.
According to a recent article by Almanac.com, that’s exactly the case with our pets. Research suggests, multiplying one year of your dog by 7, gives a pretty accurate idea of their real age. So it makes perfect sense, as our little fur babies get older, they too start to need extra care just like humans.
Arthritis, Irritability, Weight control, Sight and Hearing issues are all
For me, its how I don’t want the silence of the dawn to end. The birds haven’t woken yet so I give myself permission to think in silence.
Soon the day will erupt into an orchestra of sound, each instrument playing a different note – some flat and others beautifully melodic.
The realisation has come in the silence, at 50+ Im over half a century old. This being said, what does it matter about the tune of life? At least I can still hear it. 🤣
What do you think about in the silence of dawn?
