Today is not a good day for me.
I have received bad news about my Mum, although it is not unexpected.
I have been spending a lot of time in tears today, but somehow I need to be strong for her in her time of trouble.
One thing is for sure - I will always be there for her because she has been there for me when I have been at my lowest points in life.
Although I expect things to be bad, there is still a sliver of hope.
All I can do is hope the fates will be kind to her.
It's finally Friday night and there is the prospect of the weekend to come.
On Saturday I'll take a trip over to Hastings (one advantage of having a season ticket for travelling to work is freebie travel there at weekends!) and using my phone to take some photos at Church in the Wood at Hollington, which legend says was built by the Devil.
It will be interesting to see just how much of the woodland is left now.
Also I will take some photos of the last remaining parts of the hotel where Aleister Crowley spent his last days.
If the weather is nice I'll have an hour or two just sitting up on the East Hill with a book.
Then I'll have a bit of time in the evening on my guitars.
Sunday - that is a do nothing day for me!
For the last week or so I've been having the union at work fight for me because I was steamrollered into returning from sicknes to full time working before I was ready to do so.
Anyway, today we actually managed to make the management back down!
One fight down, another begins, this time over the dress code.
Well folks, August is over and another year in my life has been notched up.
We are now into September and England's weather has turned decidedly autumnal. We are currently experiencing the tail end of Hurricane Dan and living near the south coast it is really choppy when looking out towards the sea.
However, although we are heading towards the end of this year and the important feast of Samhain (Hallowe'en) there is the new year and Oestra to look forward to and the rebirth which comes with it.
The autumn tints are beautiful and we should remember that the circle of life is like the lifecycle of a tree - we have good times and bad times.
OK, so I have had a bad cycle lately with a lot of stress but there are good things which will happen - only we don't always know they are good at the time.
From the darkest despair hope can grow.
