Oysters really can be an aphrodisiac.

Geshem Geddit?
A half Jewish, half English autistic savant called Rainish, just like the weather at this time of year. After a religious experience he talks in tongues and god knows what he’s on about.
It could be the perfect sequel to Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise’s original and I’ve chosen a soundtrack.

Here’s Hoping You All Had a Ball On New Years Eve
It’s all meant as a bit of fun and if you’re offended talk to the hand ’cause the face ain’t listening.
It’s time to remove the stigmata around religious experiences.
Off to the mothership if I can trace the call.

Lamb of God
And fire in the sky
I’m back with another post, this time about religion and nutrition and specifically about the religious experience I had in the few days after Christmas.
Firstly I have to tell you that just a few days before Christmas I was given yet another unwanted injection of antipsychotics and this may have contributed to the intensity of the experience.
But then once I came down to Earth a bit and started thinking about how nutrients affect mood I wondered why I had such an intense religious experience and promised to attend church.
And I think the answer lies in lamb, eaten at both easter and on boxing day. I haven’t looked at what nutrients are in lamb to have caused it but it’s possible that eating lamb at Christ’s birthday celebration and death and resurrection fills believers with a heightened sense of love and awe in God.

One Swallow Does Not A Summer Make
Good wishes wherever you are in the world on this first day of 2026.
Any of you that read my blog regularly may remember that I said that I intended to use diet and nutrition as a potential aid to quitting smoking.
The results seem really quite promising so far although to what extent mere willpower has played a role is unclear.
I’ve found that there seems to be something in my theory that vitamins C and D will both alleviate the cravings and lift mood to help with commitment and to that end I’ve been taking a supplement of each (I fail to see how taking these supplements for a time in winter at the age of 53 can do me any harm).
Although I’m using nicotine replacement therapy sparingly I haven’t smoked a single cigarette since waking up.
Early days but a promising start.
Happy new ear, God willing.

Pearly Whites the Black of Knight
Daily writing promptIf you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be?Going off topic a bit here but now I’m feeling a bit better with good nutrition (and lots of coke) I decided to visit a proper East End pub, The Boleyn, for a good old cockney knees up to remind myself of the good old days: cockles and muscles and a real Dick Van Dyke playing the old Joanna. He hit a few bum notes but the whole boozer booed him and he tried to up his game.
A goodnight’s fun all round.
As for the mascot that’d be a chocolate lizard and black and white would be the colours (with a touch of green).

Heaven is a Plate of Earth
Good afternoon, I’ve had an idea of when to stop smoking which may work for others and myself better than New Year’s Eve: May 1st or First Quit Day as I’m going to call it.
The theory is based on my belief that if you can replace the hormones you get from smoking naturally it will be that much easier to stop.
And as I posted previously vitamin D from sunlight will eventually end up partly as dopamine in the brain, just as cigarettes give you a boost of dopamine.
Therefore if I fail to quit in January I will try again on First Quit Day, May 1st and favour food and drink that produces vitamin C and D without eating an unbalanced diet.
And this is where I go way out leftfield again, I’m going to try to wear darker clothes, rather than the bright clothes of summer, the theory being that this will absorb more heat from the sun and speed everything up.
I believe both Stoptober and New Year’s Eve are better times to give up drinking alcohol, due to the lower levels of sunlight and the way alcohol affects the body.
Surely it can’t hurt to try?

Heaven and Hell
Daily writing promptYou get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?Just for a change I’m being sincere when I tell you God is real and the Holy Bible is His book.
For the last six months or so since being released from Goodmayes psychiatric gulag I’ve been hearing voices almost constantly. At first I thought it was just the powerful drugs they forced on me there, then I came to believe it was the security services using some sort of special synthetic telepathy to recruit me but over Christmas and Boxing Day I came to know that the Lord had finally revealed himself to me and wanted me to seek absolution for a lifetime of sin including violence and the serious hurt I’d caused other people without thought and he showed me both his love and his wrath.
I prayed.
He has told me He will choose my judgement as He will all men when it is their time and He has ordered me to attend Church on a Sunday for the rest of my life and to help an elderly friend and neighbour with mobility problems attend Church himself (which he has done his whole life). I had been thinking about going anyway because he was a nice man and a friend of the family and he knew and wanted to save my soul through the Lord.
I know I must attend Church, God willing for the rest of my life and pray earnestly for my sins and in time He will reveal His purpose for you as he did me.
I’ve been told to help the NHS improve the mental Health Services as much as possible because so many fine people have had their whole lives blighted, shortened and ended through poor medical care as I have. He’s already educated me in ways to do this and I have found the correct way to get this message across and tested and proven safely and because I know so many patients locally I know that there are some fantastic observations in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest because they all seem like ordinary people with personalities, interests, dreams and desires like the rest of us, but from an early age they end up spending their whole lives lonely and alone, dependent, drowsy, shaky and damaged unnecessarily.
Amen

The Santa Clause
How can someone so big come down my chimney and empty his sack full of presents to fill me with Christmas cheer?
He manages it every year without fail and I’m sure he’ll come back this year once he’s had a good sleigh ride around the world.
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and all the best for another year of good health.
