Quite pleased with my own rapid recovery from low mood - I now have a very determinist/fatalist attitude which is helping me relax into the moment.

Never make an important decision when your body's impatient for lunch!

However, in Acts, Judas dies by accident. In the non-canonical Gospel of Judas, he is stoned to death, and according to St.Paipas of Hierapolis (68-155AD) he was run over by a chariot.

THIS DAY IN WW2 (1.11.40)
In the Balkans... The Italian advance reaches the Kalamas River in the Epirus district. A small British bomber unit is sent to help the Greeks. This force is increased at Churchill's order during the next few days. About half the RAF strength from Egypt is sent. The British government believes that it is vital to fulfill the guarantees given to Greece to bolster neutral opinion, especially in the Balkans and Turkey.
TODAY IN MY LIFE
Not a great start from an organisational standpoint, but I was pleased with my rapid recovery from my initial frustration. I was subsequently cheered by an all-time record hit count of 6888 on my website in October.
A morning of throwing dead wood out of the basket before a consultation and seminar in the afternoon.
