All the planes of existence are involved in it. It is not only that the soul is full of music; once you have heard the inner music, your mind is full of it, all your layers of being are full of it. Once known, not only do you hear it inside of you, it is outside too. In the song of birds you hear it, and in the wind passing through the trees you hear it, and in the waves striking on the rocks you hear it. In sound you hear it, in silence you hear it.

In fact the greatest music in the world is nothing but an echo of the inner music.

Osho (1931 – 1990)

A Little Bit of Jools

CherryPie — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 18:30:50 +0000

I spent New Years Eve in a local Cantonese restaurant and then watched ‘Jools Annual Hootenany‘ with a glass of bubbly to see in the New Year. I couldn’t resist trying to take a few photos of the show. I have spent a lazy day reading and playing board games and now I am looking forward to roast duck for dinner. Tomorrow I go back to work and I am not really ready…

For those who are wondering, an electrician did turn up yesterday morning to look at my flickering lights. He asked what the problem was, watched the lights flickering and declared it was a loose connection in the fuse box. He went on to say that unfortunately he wasn’t allowed to touch the fuse box and he would have to phone one of his colleagues and ask him to visit later in the day.

The second electrician did turn up. He asked what the problem was, watched the lights flickering and said, ‘I don’t think it is a fuse box problem’. After trying a few of the light switches and the fan in the en-suite he decided it was a problem with the light fitting in the en-suite. When he investigated he found that the ceiling fan fed off the wiring to the light fitting and that it had become loose. Instead off putting the old light fitting back up, he very kindly put the new one up instead. The new light fitting had been put to one side for when the decorator came. So now all the electrics are fully functional again.

52 Photos Project – Gallery 24 – Orange

This weeks prompt was Orange which made me think of autumn leaves and Halloween pumpkins. I do have photos that fit with that thought but as always I like to stretch my imagination.

So I present to you the Summer sun…

More Orange can be found in the week 24 gallery.

Happy Christmas :-)

A Bit of Magic

A few of my blog friends asked about how I managed the pencil drawing in my PhotoHunt picture last Saturday. Does a girl have to give all her secrets away?

Oh all right then This magic page made the transformation for me.

And here is one I made earlier:

Before transformation…

After transformation…
