Q: Why do the British talk about the weather so much? A: Because there is so much to talk about!! Here in the UK we are gripped in arctic weather with airports closed, roads closed and nothing getting through. I am presently looking at about 10cms. of snow outside my window and another blizzard is about to descend. I should have seen half a dozen patients today but all cried off - I accept it as one of the joys of self-employment! It looks as if this weather system is staying around for a couple more weeks until the new year. We were due to visit Portree on Monday for a Christmas lunch, but that is looking dodgy at the moment.
As many of you know I am a bit of a cricket nut. I'm busy in watching the ashes match from Perth W.A. at the moment. One of the nicest aspects is to watch players performing in 34 degrees C whilst outside here we are minus 5. I shall take advantage of my unexpected day off to write a few more golden words on the manuscript for the 'Light Touch Reflextherapy' book. I'm well into the 3rd chapter and it is beginning to take shape - I just need a publisher! I am also expecting a telephone consultation with my consultant neurosurgeon to see where we go from here with my cervical spine.
If I don't manage to write again before the festivities commence - have a great Christmas break and a happy new year ('hogmanay' here in Scotland)- JRC

Moving with the times
Hello all - sorry for lack of postings lately - put it down to lack of time and coping with all the bad weather we are experiencing here in the UK. The Skye workshop went well even though there were only four delegates. If I run another one on the island it will be at a more favourable time of the year.
The selling of my books and posters through my web site has always been a low priority on my time and effort and resources, perhaps I should have tried harder to sell my stuff! Because of the low turnover I have always shied away from using credit/debit cards, as they are incredibly expensive. Now Paypal have introduced a system whereby you may purchase goods using either your credit/debit card or Paypal on business web sites for those of us whose turnover is slightly less than the national debt! It took me a little while to upload the data, but now it is there for all to see. Anyone may purchase a poster or book through my 'Contact us' page and just follow the links. I have already done quite a bit of business. This all shows that I really needed to get into the 21st century and embrace the technology that was out there. It also shows that folks will purchase goods only if they have to perform a couple of 'clicks' with the mouse instead of writing boring and tedious emails or, heaven preserve us, from making a telephone call!
Because trade is so brisk (maybe it's Christmas), I am negotiating another reprint -the 5th in 15 years - of the 'Healing with the Chakra Energy System' colour poster. I only have a few left. It has been a wonderful seller for me over the years and it is now available all over the world and has even been translated into French. Must go as I need to shovel some more snow away!! Stay warm.
