Have managed to get my concentration back & aforementioned easily distracted project is finished. Now the sun is shining & I am pondering a long & very thorough report from a Feng Shui Lady!! OK OK those of you who know me won’t be too surprised. Anyhow, I love love love this house but there have been a series of – ooh – problems & mishaps since we moved in. As follows (1) in December I was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia and Vaso-Depressive syncope (I faint basically – all Jane Austen like), (2) in March I broke my foot- for no apparent reason (AND on that same fateful day the lovely Jo hurt her knee in this very house so badly she needed surgery ... hmmm..) (3) Hubby is constantly tired & complains he sleeps badly (OK I could shut the cat out so she can’t jump on him at 5am but that would be mean) (4) business has been pretty rubbish (what do you mean global recession?). (6) Hubby would like new unstressful job but doesn't know where to start. So nice Feng Shui lady came & looked about the house & said a few sensible things immediately (like how bad the hall energy is. I knew that!). She had worked out all of our PA Kua numbers too (I’m a 6 apparently) and with those numbers in mind started to work things out with her huge compass. Then she took some pictures & toddled off to prepare the large report I am going through. And it’s a good job we didn’t decorate before she came as we had been toying with a rich purple-y grey colour for the living room and it needs to be green for maximum positive energy. So green it will be (will go with my curtains & cushions so no problem –phew!) I had also thought about a similar sludge / dark grey tone for our bedroom only to be told no no - current colour a disaster for hubby and dark grey would be worse, pure white is ideal. The downstairs loo is blue & this colour in this area is a disaster for my health (aha!) so I must paint that out white ASAP too and the kid’s bathroom is in Hubby's success area & again is the wrong colour for him so out goes the sea green & in comes terracotta (new job here he comes!). There were some mad things like placing a silver urn of water near to the hob to dissipate the negative ‘fire at heaven’s gate’ energy and getting rid completely of a sofa (so where would we all sit??) but apart from that all made a lot of sense & all seems pretty simple. Now isn't that always the way?
