For the second day in a row, I am going to tell you what I shall not be writing about today before getting on with matters at hand…

No, no, no… I shall not be writing about the fact that Radio 1 are airing 12 hours live of the Creamfields dance festival and no I shall not be mentioning the fact that DJ Judge Jules is going to be hypnotised to regress and recall all his best memories from the previous years of Creamfields… Hahaha… I am going to have to listen to that when it airs…

Instead, today I am going to be getting disgusting. Yes indeed, there is a paragraph in todays blog entry that will repulse you due to it being so hideously disgusting… It is there for a reason though, let me explain…

No… No… and No again… I am not going to write about the absolutely crazy depiction of a hypnotist and NLP trained individual on last nights BBC1 programme ‘New Tricks’ - lots of my peers thought it was harmful, I just thought it was idiculous nd verging on hilarious… Instead, I am going for gold.

Yes indeed, I am focusing on the Olympics.

Yesterday our 14 year old starlet in the diving arena, Tom Daly, who is from the south coast near me, came last in the diving pairs 10m dive. His partner blamed him. They were not synchronised enough, they had a bad day and heck, they can be forgiven.

The lad is 14 years old. He goes in his single event soon with the weight of expectation and I really feel for him… We have so few medal chances that the pressure is piled on to these youngsters!

By all accounts, it is not nearly as much as the Chinese athletes who are having all kinds of remedies given to them to stop the pressure exploding…

So I last blogged on my birthday and I celebrated my birthday… We had a LOT of fun… Then the next day we attended a beautiful wedding of a close friend, then spent time with family, then shouted at my TV as the new football season began, then did some work in the garden… And by the end of all that, I needed my own bed…

Yes indeed, we went to bed very early last night so that I could be fresh for the demanding and busy week ahead… Someone else had other ideas…

Our cat jumped on top of us on several occasions in the night… Purred, meeowed, prodded me and preened himself in between Katie and I and when I gave him his breakfast early this morning, I found it tough to smile at him in the usual way… Needless to say that he won’t be allowed upstairs tonight…

However, there are many health benefits to be gained from having Spooky in our life and home according to an interesting piece of research…

A very quick, though heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you who emailed me with birthday wishes and e-cards and hose of you that sent actual, real-life cards - they are all warmly received and very much appreciated.

I shall be smiling all day

As a life-long Nottingham Forest football club fan, one of my top two sporting heroes is Brian Clough (the other being Stuart ‘Psycho’ Pearce) - he took my team, a relative minnow of a team, to TWO European Cup finals in successive years and we won them both!

I think he had every right to be proud of what he did…. Now the reason I mention this today is because he used to refer to himself as Old Big ‘ead. He openly loved the fact that he was that way and it made him even more of a hero in my book.

Apparently, it is not just purely over-confidence or big-headedness… If I openly testify to being the best hypnotherapist on the planet, I am not just being unnecessarily biased. Research demonstrates as much…
