Here, (Portree, Skye) the winter continues, though quieter today. So far.

Just running this in - never done a blog before.

A friend, Joe Palmer (Professor of linguistics) ended this life - from cancer - on the 5th December 2015. We were born within weeks of each other - he called me his long distance twin. The 5th was my friend Gillian's birthday - and the planned meeting never happened - and there has been an atmosphere of general despair and gloom here.

I first met Joe at the EVP convention in Fairfield Indiana put on by his (then) multimillionaire cousin Dale Palmer, who had started an organization called the Noetics Institute.

After that we corresponded on a regular basis and Joe was one of the panelists in the evaluation stage of my key experiment - "03-03-03-03" carried out in California.

The night I heard about his death, Tuesday the 8th, I re-assembled the rig for a quick experiment - about 4 minutes long. It sounded promising, but on going through it afterwards - the only mention of the word, 'Joe' was a quick, quiet voice saying, 'Joe is history.'  That was very late and so I tried again next day - Wednesday the 9th.

Nope. Nothing relevant. Two New Zealand things, 'New Zealand - Sir John Elliot's failing to run.' and 'Jury - New Zealand puts up.'

One of Gillian's Xmas presents arrived from Amazon yesterday and is now waiting to get wrapped.  About time to get started on my "tea" - more of my own mushroom soup, and then either a Tesco Mediterranean Cous Cous or a Bisto Cottage Pie frozen meal..

OK - tonight, got to download the Limited Edition of Paranormal Voices to Create Space, and - if time - the re-issued EVP Research, Spirits Aliens - or Something Else, also.

OK - bye for now, hope this blog works and there aren't mases of "trolls" lined up to tear it to shreds.
