Hand it to the towels

What to do with those excess hand towels you get when you buy a bundle.

Simple, easy to make and wash, pillow and bolster covers.

Head pillow –

Use fire retardant wadding, use part of a pillow slip to sew it into place. Use half a hand towel to cover – you do need to use a sewing machine to create this mini pillow.
Always cover with couch roll to avoid that crinkled forehead look!

One hand towel with one machine sewing trip up the long edge will create a bolster cover (get some fire retardant foam and enclose in a sewn up pillow slip to hold it in place.

Where would we be without towels!

Some Nut

The Doctrine of signatures suggests that the shape and structure of some plants are similar to the part of the body that they can help.

I had kinesiology some years ago; the therapist recommended a walnut remedy. She was taken aback when I said – yes it reflects the nature of the brain (and that’s what I needed at the time).

She should have known that!

Check it out when you next crack a walnut.

I would be interested in these sorts of things that do not help!

Darwin talking Dawkin

Once again a few weeks ago, there was a super programme in Darwin only marred by Richard Dawkins refusal to celebrate the diversity of life and with it; diversity of thought. (memes?)

He completely slammed the creationists in their thinking that life began 6000 years ago yet did not do the same when he said Darwin thought life began 100000 years ago (or something of that magnitude). Life is now thought to have begun some 500 million years ago – so why was the very small amount of 940000 years ignored?

Perhaps Darwin can help Dawkin?

By Association

Over a quarter of a century ago UK businesses were downsizing creating leaner, fitter and flatter more economically viable concerns. Layers of management were removed -the major players are still here today albeit in a different form. Downsizing is with us still.

This works. So why is the complementary therapy world, already festooned with associations, adding on the extra layer through regulatory bodies? It does not make financial sense to me unless you are in the pay of such.

It was once known that associations were there to protect the public – they provided insurance of appropriately qualified members – they still do. Yet the new layer’s remit is now said to protect the public. …
All at additional cost to the practitioner hence fees to the clients.

I am glad to have done my bit for therapies and clients over the last 16 years but now its time to say bye bye to associations.

Convince me if I am wrong.
