I'd wanted to link to this touching obituary for a well loved dog a couple of days ago. Better late, than never all.

Darcey. Darcey-Dog. 'Dee-Dee' to her many friends. A dog-lover's dog. Big black amiable giant with a heart of gold. You could roll around on the floor with her for hours. Her sense of fun was just amazing. Cheeky, obsessed with food, she could hear a sweetie paper at two hundred metres in a hurricane.

They say it will be dark when we get up tomorrow morning at 5.45 a.m.

The sense of Autumn is in the air, it has been much cooler today, cold and changeable. Now wind and rain, now sunshine and showers. Now onwards to our normal schedule.

It's been almost a year since I arrived back in England. And it is at least a year since I took a look at what is out there in terms of Buddhist Podcasts. Perhaps I wasn't looking that hard however I only remember a small hand full. Now there is a shed full of them. Uh! I've been wanting to weave that expression into a blog for days!

It was my sometimes walking companion who told me the origin of the expression, a shed full. Preston Meditation Group, many years ago. Have another chocolate biscuit Reverend, don't worry we have a whole shed full of them! More than enough for all.

Thanks to Buddhist Village for the link.
