Hello again, Royal stories abound, or should that be the Royal story abounds with every possible media source on the planet talking about Baby Cambridge who arrived yesterday evening sometime after four o’clock. Baby Cambridge has been cited as already being a worldwide celebrity, thanks to his famous, nice, parents affectionately called Will and Kate aka the Duke and Duchess if Cambridge, and his very famous grandmother, the late, great Princess Diana.
How many of these reports tell us that this is the most famous tourist attraction in the world – just look at the amount of press interest this baby’s birth has generated. It’s the ‘silly season’ and London is celebrating in style!
Indeed, staff at a local Paddington DIY store had to order extra stock to meet demands from photographers for ladders, so they could get the best photographs over the heads of other media personnel.

Aldi and Lidl make hay during the economic downturn in Ireland with reports yesterday showing that they now enjoy 15% market share of the republic’s shoppers. This growth is perhaps best seen by the fact that Tesco enjoy the biggest amount with a 28% share of the same market.
Reports say that Google announced that they are to open a digitial innovation centre in Dublin’s docklands.
Halfway through The Irish Gathering, reports as to its success are varied with some inside tourism hailing it as ‘simple and clever’ while others see it as a ‘crackpot waste of money’. Who doesn’t know that Gabriel Byrne famously kicked off the debate denouncing the idea as a ‘money making racket’? Reports are varied but the test as to its failure or success may well bne measured by the enjoyment people have from it and any extra money raised as a result of it.

WORDS TO THE WISE:
You do not need to leave your room…
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
Do not even listen simply wait.
Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary.
The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked.
It has no choice.
It will roll in ecstacy at your feet.
- Franz Kafka (1883-1924)
SACRED SPACE: A BLESSING OF ANGELS
May the Angela in their beauty bless you.
May they turn towards you streams of blessing.
May the Angel of awakening stir your heart
To come alive to the eternal within you,
To all the invitations that quietly surround you.
May the Angel of Healing turn your wounds
Into sources of refreshment.
May the Angel of the Imagination enable you
To stand on the true thresholds;
At ease with your ambivalence
And drawn in new directions
Through the glow of your contradictions.
May the Angel of Compassion open your eyes
To the unseen suffering around you.
May the Angel of Wildness disturb the places
Where your life is domesticated and safe,
Take you to the territories of true otherness
Where all that is awkward in you
Can fall into its own rhythm.
SMILE A WHILE!
What happened to the girl who wanted a puppy for Christmas?
She had to have turkey like everyone else.
Why was the headmaster worried
There were too many rulers in the school.
What does Luke Skywalker shave with?
A laser blade.
Cheers
Valerie
