This morning
I sat and watched a documentary that was on telly yesterday. I don't think I
could sit and watch it again! The mental pain and anguish that the people of
Lockerbie are still feeling, as well as the families of those who died in the
States was so clear it hurt to watch. But as one of the Lockerbie residents
said in effect at the end, 'We will not
allow the terrorists to win.' And that is how we all must be. We must not let
those people kill our souls and spirits. Life is far too precious for that to
happen.
After writing
yesterday's blog I got the text of my NANO effort sorted out and email to Bill
Howe to do his normal first class job of proof reading it for me. He's on
holiday right now on the Isle of White and his return email said he wasn't sure
if he was on holiday on punishment. It took some time for the penny to drop;
Parkhurst Prison on the Isle of White ... dddeeeeerrrrrr ... ... ...
Anyway ...
yesterday I mentioned the similarities in the Potter and Star Wars
films. Bill has said that perhaps a book called Hero With a 1000 Faces by
Joseph R. Campbell. He then points out that Wikipedia has a good outline of the
monomyth element of both films and Campbell's book - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomyth
- if you're interested.

Wife's
Diary:
Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it.
Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much.I asked him what was wrong; He said, 'Nothing..' I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it.
On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can't explain his behaviour. I don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.'
When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep; I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster....... .
