Warning: this may offend/annoy some of you but others might find it interesting, I guess its channelling but you are free to think what you like of course.

The following may have been a 'to do list' of a bachelor from times around the sixteenth century in England(he's going on a journey soon)...

'Marking floss set' (to do list, along the lines of a stitch in time saves nine)

-Ferrous dust to clasp inset(to brighten)
-Clasp(for cloak)caked in annealed slake(to clean)
-Bark from hollow log(pulverised wadsworth(?) kept in skin sacking and mixed with milk when needed for chilblains)
-Charred blocks for marking(charcoal made for use to mark trees when journeying so you can find your way back)
-Cat's claw dipped in paint(when needed to sign something you dip the dry end in a little oil)
-Parrot fashion, old man's ballad(learn some more good love songs to share with the lads at the, tongue in cheek,'Wet man's whistle')
-Putty squeeze in frame around window(get thistle(?) sap and mix with fine saw paper(dust)then push in around frame to keep the weather out)
-Noggin belts in rack for shelving(some hammered in things to support shelves to keep stuff up away from rats)
-Barton for a pail(make a pail out of a sheet of tin)

Cossey(?)list(shopping list - and the bill will be put on a wooden ladder rung and given to his landlord to pay(?))
- illuminum(?)wire (for fixing like chair/table legs and things)
- batan (for bloke's 'split'[eek] to keep clean - soft cottony fibre dipped in red wine vinegar to clean the appendage)
- gravel(bluestone - for washing tonsure maille(r)[fine metal mesh for shaving head])
-tipsten for a joke(something on hand to give to a lady if the occasion arises[to gain her favour], powdered lavender bath salts kept in a small linen bag)Wow, is that all they needed in those days, times must have been tough!
-ermine softly puts a packet on(in otherwords, if there's any low priced ermine fur gloves he's gonna get some)

yeah so, I luv this stuff but can understand why there are discrepancies at times because the in depth translation can be draining and sometimes you can end up filling in the details yourself just through becoming weary of trying to understand...and maybe the tiring nature of it goes both ways...

This is the only place that I maybe can not cause too much of a problem to unleash some of these images. It's so fascinating at times that I just have to tell someone.

But I don't want any fuss ever and probably most of you will think I am looney and outa my tree anyhow.

I don't think it's loony! I think it's fascinating!

I'm interested in how these things come to you...

Tell more!

ty future, yeah well i'll give you an idea but like most things the idea is not how it is all the time, emphasis on hows and whys change so yeah the current answer to that...

well, I can always obtain something, but not just anything I am interested in is available for details, but usually you'll get something. Nothing can be depended upon, which is maybe a good thing but that's why I like to keep things small and I just don't tell anyone in everyday life.

Basically it's just thinking and images like a vista. Sometimes I will feel a pressing need to receive but often there's nothing significant, it's just interesting. Sometimes there is mega insight into things that is kind of mind blowing. The sorts of details that are not in our written or oral histories. Sometimes just everyday things and hidden reasons, views and practices can blow you away. Life is never boring but I get exhausted with it - kind of like you feel after you've been at an all day seminar. So yeah, it might start with a thought or an impression(words don't really cover this explanation in a way). I work, go to Uni and parent 4 children so I'm exhausted from that as well. I am on holidays at the moment. Usually if my kids are home they will interrupt my resting, spacing out, or writing, every couple of minutes. I don't tell my kids; on the outside I lead a mediocre boring life but from the inside out there is rarely a dull moment. I guess some might think that its a way for me to feel special - people can think that, maybe its better if they do think that. My life like this kinda just arrived similar to Jung's haunting episode(I read recently), and ever since I have been living on a funny magical carpet ride - but most people wouldn't thing anything.
