Marrakech part one

Just returned from 12 days in Marrakech (well 10 to be precise, 2 spent in Essaoura, but more about that later). i have to say what a wonderful place it is, completely intoxicating and I am desperate to go back for more. The reason that this is part one is because I am absolutely shattered and part two will be posted in the next couple of days to relate my experiences in this amazing part of the world.

No Smoking

So yes, finally given up smoking. Well, trying, anyhow. My wife has also given up at the same time and I can honestly say that it is the worst move to ever make with someone you love. I've broken once, just now, had half a cig and stubbed it out. Rank. Maybe this time it will work. Who knows. Back on the inhalator. Guess that's better than a respirator in later years. That's if smoking is actually bad for you. I mean, who knows? (apart from all the dead people/cancerous/pulmonary blockaged up bods and the like)Meant to be good for the sex life, but to be honest if your so pre-occupied with lighting a cigarette whilst your doing it you're not going to get very far.

Anyhow, other news. Cats have new collars and hardcore catnip. Morocco very soon, just organising what we are buying to bring back. Talking with local business bods about what the village needs and what we can provide and do. And of course, no fags! Got to say the Nicorette Inhalator works amazingly. Went from 20-30 a day to, well, half in 3 days. So thats good.

At the moment organizing a dinner party for thursday, so have to sort that one out. Don't know what to have, there'll be loads of people and I honestly can say that every single one of those w**nkers smokes. So that'll be fun fun fun....as long as the wife breaks properly first that'll be ok.

So what really happened?

Loads of things seem to have happened in the world, but really its just been a very important event which may, as important events seem to do, change the way the world is viewed. This event was the Fort Hood shootings at Americas largest military base by, it seems, a Muslim member of the army. A Major, no less and a member of the medical profession, psychiatry. The real problems seem to be with the story and the subsequent anti-islamic and other conspiracy theories coming from it. Here are a few to read. All I have to say is it doesn't make any sense to me (the official story). I'm gonna piece together a theory over the next couple of days. I'll let you know.....

Just woken up...

All set to write a great piece on whatever came out today, but unfortunately stayed in bed! Fortunately CBS, The Guardian, altnews, BBC and all the other fantastic news sites out there are dealing with it all in there usual fashion....now, I need to keep writing otherwise way behind schedule!

cats and other problems

Slight concern about the cats escaping from the back garden this morning. Don't know why, they are cats after all, and adventure is their game, I guess, but they are still little ones to me. Anyhow, the least of my worries. Other family issues coming and going as always, either building stress levels or just showing how good I am at dealing with crises I never really know which, to be honest. I'm even getting worried about Derren Browns builders after reading his tweets!
Anyhow, time to continue writing my new novel for Nanowrimo.
