Would like to add, that no bad ill should be bore towards said hippy mother as much fun was had by all and was a one off!

Toorisky · 18/10/2005 20:29

Spidermamma-have you ever had any mushies????

glitterfairy · 19/10/2005 10:22

Have always wanted to spice up my christmas cake.

Paps thank you the plate is beautiful and the cream divine am looking forward to my nails and massage as am seeing solicitor today in RL and feeling a tad stressed. Still feel weird about the counsellor on Monday and am coming to terms with her straightforward appraisal of DH.

Anyway am wrapping myself in cashmere and trying to keep soft and fluffy.

Mummyvicky · 19/10/2005 10:38

Mushrooms in the cake Sounds bloody brilliant ! hehehe

Papillon · 19/10/2005 12:27

Thats fantastic Dropinthecauldron what a mother, what a Christmas! The best we had was when a cousin of about 19 jumped in the swimming pool fully dressed after having afew too many drinks at lunch - NZ so no mid winter swim of course.

Glitterfairy - I gave you a special deluxe power massage - I sent warm strong energy to your navel chakra, a very important place to foster and develop. I also gave your third eye a shine and polish to help you see more deeply the ways of the life around you.

Is Spidermama lurking paranoid on a belly full of mushrooms? And who the is plato is Toorisky?

Oh and to continue on from yesterdays mention of a MNetter dreaming she had posted a thread - a certain fish of well known status around these parts has been discussing this device - so how about we all share fungi and chocolate chip cookies and see where whatever man leads us.

Intrepid Yurt journalist creeps into cashmere rug while Glitter is off in RL (just keeping it warm for ya babe)

Sax · 19/10/2005 13:12

Feeling lethargic, need a pick me up pleaseeeeee i'd like whatever is going

a polish of me eye woulnd't go amiss too paps and can i join you in cashmere, sounds cosy

I need a trip asap then i will tell you where i go

Papillon · 19/10/2005 13:24

((((Sax))))

A hug from me and don´t forget to give yourself a hug - thats where the good vibes really do come from - inside yourself! You know I saw a thread of yours lately and so understand you have been having a emotional journey of late, but have not followed your story. You can whisper abit about it whilst we snuggle in Glitterfairy´s cashmere darling, with our hot chocolate fungi special tea. Then later you can sit in the Yurt rafters and tell us fabulous tales from yin and yon.

I am not sure if Glitter is getting this cashmere rug back lol

We will have to shave M2T´s yak and make her a surrogate rug

Papillon · 19/10/2005 13:26

oh and will polish your eye with hemp varnish - it is brilliant for lightening the soul and lifting the ambiance of the outer eye. Rose tinted

I think some good breathing exercises and a navel chakra meditation is also well in order. So much to do, so much to do!

I need cashmere and a massage myself after afew hours of looking after a friends 1 year old. Baby paps has lots to learn about sharing mummy!

So I am rolling into my plush yak robe then sinking into the excess cashmere... mine is golden and trimmed with burgandy velvet. No more cookies for me tonite I am full so will have a special minted stick that has been marinated in the finest scents so as not to stink out the Yurt.

Glitter, glad to hear the solicitor visit went well. Remember to rub your navel everyday and breathe through your third eye and all should pass without fear of change. Your acceptance and realisation of things is admirable and I am proud of you ((()))

Sax · 19/10/2005 20:19

Pap, you seem a very calming character, maybe i don't need the cookies

Paps, er yes you could call it a 6 month emotional rollercoaster and one I never ever want to repeat! My body basically decided to tell me in a rather drastic way to stop and think of myself and find myself a little so now giving myself a little hug cos i sort of will allow myself to now and learning a bit of meditation is helping lots too

I'll tell you about my trip earlier if you want to hear, along lines of a red sea, octupus playing games and my piggies taking their nighties off

Hehe, me eye is feeling clean and good but my chakras will need a bit longer - not done the class yet, i'll tell you after Friday pmsl

i'm enjoying this thread, thank you for allowing me here

glitterfairy · 20/10/2005 16:26

HIya Paps. All calm today so far. Have refused lunch with dh and instead am curling up under the cashmere again!

Feels better in here today. Strange how the yurt was closed and now is open a little like a nice chamber of secrets with different people inhabiting it.

Dropinthe · 21/10/2005 19:16

Whats up in the yurt tonight peebs?

Papillon · 21/10/2005 19:17

Hallo All

I have just awoken from a very deep slumber... the cashmere I sleep in has the spells of Morpheus upon its very fibres.

Sax wonderful to hear of your dreams and look forward to hearing all about your chakra´s and the stories they have to tell

Glitter it is wonderful how the Yurt was reopened, it needs time to breath and be at rest in order to live. Like all things this is a wise thing to do, it reminds me of an excerpt about the nightingale in a Rumi poem -

The jealous birds complained to Solomon,
Demanding he punish the nightingale.
Said she: "I only sing in spring -- calm down.
Nine months of the year I make no sound."

Papillon · 21/10/2005 19:26

Hey Dropinthe

What you have in mind? Music, herbal cigs or strange stories?

glitterfairy · 22/10/2005 07:26

I love the nightingale poem Paps. Am resting in my cashmere as I try to summon rl energy for today which will be hard.

I may need a healing mantra this week as I feel it will be the most difficult thing I have ever done and the bravest. I am going to concentrate on my navel and third eye and will accept any healing thoughts which are winging my way.

I am going to chew a cookie whilst I dream of new opportunities and loves.

Sax · 22/10/2005 09:53

Glitter, asking the angels to be with you this weeks and sending my thoughts cos you mentioned having a hard week ahead!

Looking forward to sharing some herbal cigs and chilling in the yurt with you all later when peeps are around

Paps please can I have a little more room under the cashmere, your hogging it and snoring and i can't tune into my dreams!

But angels are with us all today, feel their warmth and strength as we chill in the yurt together and I await a stack of cookies to aid imagination and meditation.

Papillon · 22/10/2005 10:53

Who´s baking, I have a headache. I know what lets all have imaginary Yurt helpers who whip up the cookies today - I think we all deserve the weekend off.

Dropinthe food please

As for the snoring that was not me as I practice Hatha Yogic breathing when sleeping, it keeps the mouth closed so there

It´s the lurkers with their electric blenders working in the night - but I baked a large currant cookie wall around them - hence the headache and exertion toll of today.

Glitter no sitting around in cars please! Lie round the Yurt instead or go skip some stones

HuggyBear · 22/10/2005 11:25

Hello

Hope theres still room in the yurt for me!!

I have baked some herbal muffins and lovely cookies and have pre rolled lots of lovely things to smoke

I havent been around much as have been learning alot about me which is great cause i think me and me are going to get on just fine!

glitterfairy · 24/10/2005 10:44

Hello the angels have been kind because so far it has not been as bad as I thought!

Sometimes worries are like that though and the period leading up to things is worse than the actuality of what you have been worrying about I hope this continues. Beety is staying with me the next few days so may bring her in and give her a cookie or three!

Have spent this morning making white chocolate muffins, and halloween witch biscuits! Enjoy also have some redbush with me.

Papillon · 24/10/2005 13:49

I fancy a redbush tea with my witch biscuit

Have been busy writing in my cashmere rug at a desk I have installed in a quiet corner of the Yurt. After that I may even venture outside, I feel a nightingale need to walk quietly in a forest and make no sound and leave no trace. It is week 34 pregnant and my body slows and my senses are beginning to take a breath before the baby makes its entrance.

Beety is most welcome to come and sample the delights on offer, as is anybody else - especially if they come with good story and a plateful of mouthwatering subterfuge.

Dropinthe · 24/10/2005 19:02

Didn't know subterfuge was a food-thought it was a plot to a story!!

glitterfairy · 24/10/2005 21:10

Redbush coming up and enjoy your walk in the forest!

Have had peaceful day. Beets doesnt want any funny stuff just gin and tonic and a virtual cigarette!

melsy · 24/10/2005 21:20

Paps as I read your week number 34, I got a lovely busy, chatty, vision of all of you (new baby too) at home.

I havent been in the yurt for some time have I.

Glad things arent as bad as you thought Glitter, aprehension can be the most twisted thing. Have you got a thread on how you are doing?

Can I tell of my most strange dream yet ? It may be a tad fragmented and I cant seem to get what the message is , but it could be special cookie created !!

Its as if im watching a programme , and theres a documentry on what I seem to know as "the projects" , its a gated place with georgian town houses and the camera pans down the road and focuses in and out of the front doors wich are down some steps. All the houses are packed tight together and the front doors dont seem that far apart and I think Im the one coming out with a pram or some kind of baby carrying thing. A crowd of people have assembled and Im now taken to what I can describe as a crater , IM now filming this all on video , as we stand above it looking down from a ledge and inside this crater is a sort of space ship, there doesnt seem to be panic,but the crowds are gathering & I feel a sense of wonder and fear all at the samne time. I now realise that I am a very large black lady with long dreaded hair and its at this point I dont seem to remeber much else. Which is a shame as I always like to remember all of it.

ooh and huggybear , Ive said hello on msn a couple of times , when are you online?

HuggyBear · 24/10/2005 21:37

Sorry mesly, the amount of emails ive had saying "why are you ignoring me???" i think my msn is playing up!!

Apologies to Paps, babgerbadger and others too, cause it doesn tlet me talk to you am trying to download a newer version

Its driving me mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
