Welcome to my weekly roundup of posts just in case, you are like me and find a roundup helpful especially when the week has been busy…Starting with Monday Musings where my muse pinpoints anything exciting or unusual I have read, seen or experienced during the last week it could be anything that piques my interest…we are now in May and our temperatures have taken a hike upward it was 44C yesterday and predicted to be the same today…to say I am melting and only want cold drinks and ice cream is an understatement…a cup of tea is most certainly not on my agenda…
Monday Musings:
Last week Monday Musings was a mix of invention and the ancient art of Buddhism…the idea of 3D dissolvable vaccine patches is fantastic all you need is a printer a step forward for outlying areas and for anyone with a needle phobia…then I shared a Buddhist practice where anyone who passes away and has no family are tended by volunteers… Thai volunteers exhume the bones of the nameless dead, who have no one else to care for them, the remains are washed and laid out to dry then they perform a ceremony on the remains to aid the deceased in their spiritual rebirths…it is a beautiful ceremony performed with love and respect…
Monday Musings…1st May 2023…May Day, Disolvable Vaccines Plasters, Making Merit(Buddhism)…
My Green Kitchen…
Where I shared one of my favourite recipes for using up cold rice…whenever I make these and take a bowl if we are going out they just disappear they are such a lovely snack with all the different textures the crunch from the lettuce or white cabbage the heat of the chill and the ginger and the lovely rice balls they are truly a beautiful bite of food…
Potato peels make lovely crisps and are far healthier than the processed nasties as you are in charge of the salt and the fat which is why they can be a tad healthier if you air fry them but they are also delicious if you cook them in the oven which I have to at the moment as I don’t own an air fryer…
Coke and other sodas the amount of sugar and other things make them one of the unhealthiest drinks and I’m not talking about the odd glass of Coke but that is all some drink and drink bottles of this every day…
Thursday Thoughts:
Thursday Thoughts…the start of another month…May is National Walking Month-(UK) big smile- as you know I love to walk…walking is a fantastic way to keep active and maintain a healthy heart as it is fun, flexible and free…
When you think of mummies Egypt always springs to my mind..the pyramids, the Pharaohs and their Queens however this particular very well-preserved mummy was found quite by chance in China…
The Lady of Dai is one of the best-preserved mummies ever found. The condition is owed to the fact that her body had been swaddled in 20 layers of silk and she was found in 80 litres of an unknown liquid that was mildly acidic with some magnesium in it. She was placed within four layers of coffins, which were within an airtight, clay-lined burial vault 12 meters underground.
Thursday Thoughts…4th May 2023…The Lady of Dai, National Walking Month(UK),

A personal request from me…I would be so very grateful if any of you will add little 6yr old Lenny to their prayers and send positive thoughts he has been diagnosed with High-Grade Lymphoma you can imagine what a shock this has been for his mummy and the rest of my family as he has to have intensive chemotherapy and stay in hospital for at least 6 months until the treatment is finished…I just can’t believe how cancer is rampaging through our family…I am more than shocked and wonder whose next,,,
