Football

Last night [18/06/10] i thought i would watch the England v Algeria game, this is a little strange for me as I don’t particularly like football and feel that they are in the most, overpaid and under talented.

With this in mind I started to watch 22 grown men kick a dead pig round a piece of grass [although I doubt the ball is made out of pig skin anymore]

after the first say 15 minutes i was not only losing interest in the game but was actually losing the will to live. I then started to channel hop, nothing of interest on so I watched Luther on catch up great series poor ending I felt, any hoo once this had finished I switched back to the football.

My son and i both sat there and couldn’t believe what we were seeing, why are these people payed thousands of pounds a week to do this? a sunday league team could have scored last night.

I have decided that enough is enough if that is the standard of football being played I’m not going to bother to watch. it’s the World Lacrosse Championships starts on the 15th July, now that is more like a sport.

So bring on the Lacrosse and you can shove, well you can make the rest up yourself.

New Medication Update!

Back in February I posted about the new medication and the state of things within my own little world, needless to say things didn’t go very well for the first couple of weeks, a lower dose and a change to a “different set” of tablets didn’t help much.

Side effect of feeling like my head was in a bag, feeling low, and a sever loss of sex drive which to be honest was the scariest bit, were the worst of it, over the first three-weeks or so the “head in a bag” feeling persisted if was more than an hour out on my medication time which was ridicules.

The other or lack of the other has persisted these last  few months, however of late things have started to improve if not a little too slowly for my liking!

So after various consultations with my new doctor, who as a person is really nice, my predicament was solved by a locum who was covering for the day, although she couldn’t prescribe me something different as quite rightly I wasn’t her patient, she did change the dosage, the low feeling has lifted slightly and the sex drive is coming back.

so obviously 25mg once a day wasn’t going to work however take that 3 times a day and it seems, touch wood, to keep me on a more even keel? for now!

The Real St George

Saint George is popularly identified with England and English ideals of honour, bravery and gallantry, but actually he wasn’t English at all. Very little is known about the man who became St George.

Quick Facts about St George

• Born in Turkey (in Cappadocia)
• Lived in 3rd century
• His parents were Christian
• Became a Roman soldier
• Protested against Rome’s persecution of Christians
• Imprisoned and tortured, but stayed true to his faith
• Beheaded at Lydda in Palestine

St. George is believed to have been born in Cappadocia (now Eastern Turkey) in the year A.D. 270. He was a Christian. At the age of seventeen he joined the Roman army and soon became renowned for his bravery. He served under a pagan Emperor but never forgot his Christian faith.

When the pagan Emperor Diocletian started persecuting Christians, St. George pleaded with the Emperor to spare their lives. However, St. George’s pleas fell on deaf ears and it is thought that the Emperor Diocletian tried to make St. George deny his faith in Christ, by torturing him. St George showed incredible courage and faith and was finally beheaded near Lydda in Palestine on 23 April, 303.

In 1222, the Council of Oxford declared April 23 to be St George’s Day and he replaced Edward the Confessor as England’s patron saint in the 14th century. In 1415, April 23 was made a national feast day.

Patron Saint

St George is patron saint not only of England but also of Aragon, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Bteghrine, Cáceres, Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, Gozo, Pomorie, Qormi, Lod and Moscow.

St George is also patron saint of scouts, soldiers, archers, cavalry and chivalry, farmers and field workers, riders and saddlers, and he helps those suffering from leprosy, plague and syphilis.

Water!

I have had this fascination with water for many, many years, the way it looks,  the sound, how peaceful and mystical it can be, as well as terrifying and destructive,

So with this in mind I decided that I wanted to take pictures of this wonderful and natural element here are a couple of my pictures the rest I will upload when I can.

Chatsworth House

Had good Day today, went out to Chatsworth house a massive estate nestling in the Peak District. the house itself is constantly undergoing renovation of some kind, this means that every time you go there may be different parts open than when you went last time,

In my case it was 18yrs!

I had forgotten how large an estate it was with its distinct water cascade down the middle of the lawn, its many statues and nooks and crannies,  it has many sculptures by well-known artists in the grounds such as Damien Hurst, Dame Elizabeth Frink, Barry Flanagan, David Nash and others

The painting and furniture inside the hall are magnificent as they always are in these houses, but it’s always the outside that does it for me, the huge expanses and how they are filled,

The gardens at Chatsworth are alive and interesting, with the many historical pieces such as the statues and the Cascade to the Maze (which took about 20mins to get and 1 to get out again) and then dotted around are the new sculptures,

The best thing is looking for these things and then realizing that it has taken a few hours, you’ve had fun and you have learnt something.

If you ever go to Chatsworth look out for the chimney flue from the old greenhouse furnaces, fantastic bit of engineering back in 1820 when it was done, but you might miss it. it’s a hidden treasure. ( a hint – the Maze stands where the greenhouse used to be)

So i think that everyonwe should take a day out from being on computers or games consols, out on your boots or traininers and have a wander round an historical house or setting, see what your missing
