Interesting. I was dragged outside by my biorhythms, which made me
root out a bunch of weeds in my front garden, then go out and get the
dog's-mercury at the foot of the front wall, then the moss and
dog's-mercury and dandelions at the foot of the new municipal tree,
and then hack away some roots of lurid blue geranium and creeping
campanula and put them in instead, and then scatter cayenne over the
whole production so dogs tempted to lift a leg would sheer away in
horror on the first sniff!

Yes, spring is here with a vengeance at last. Hyacinths are blooming, all daffodils are blooming.

I made an experiment today, sowed some nice poppy seeds and put coffee grounds on half of each row lengthwise. It is soil I made two years ago in a hurry from begonia Rex mostly (had too many) and some of the city compost. Flowers like it fine.

My rhubarb is getting to the height I am yearning for.

All in all, a few sunny days in April make all the difference!

Do you - any of you - know about biorhythms? I checked last night (because I was very physical, mauling pallets around) and found that the physical, emotional and intuitive parts were at the very highest (and merged) while the intellectual was at the lowest.

And I am reading a very nice and not at all intellectual book, by Jane Smiley, called "The All-True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton". About the settling of Kansas by Abolitionists in the 1850s. Enjoyable!

You are not by any chance born on the 3rd of April?

I don't know, Tony, it's spooky. I used to chart my biorythms back in the
80's. We would run them off on the computers at IBM ;-)

At least twice that I remember, I had a bad fall or other injury, then went
back to look at my charts and the injury happened on the very day of my triple
low.

Hi Carol,

There is no doubt at all that we /do/ have biorythms, and that they do
not necessarily coincide, but - frankly - it is simple rubbish that you
can assume a /standard/ "so many days for this one, so many days for
that one" and calculate them from your date of birth!

individual at different times and ages. Serious illness could also

Oh, you scientific types!!! Look, I do not consult my biorhythm program more than perhaps twice a year and that is because I myself feel something and want to check it! Like this time with the two pallets (and in general). I don't often feel so lazy intellectually either.

Interesting - your mail sent me off looking for web biorhythm charts,
and the one I found had my biorhythms low but heading upwards. And
I've just come out of a vicious sinus infection.

On the other hand, it might be interesting to take a look at a few
web biorhythm generators and see if they agree ;)

See my new reply to Carol. Yes, I have run these charts off on an IBM

I'm sure they will. It is mathematical and computers are so good at that!
