Was told Barry Mason of the Psychedelic Shamanistic Institute died a few weeks ago – after a call from Peter Messenger in Oxford. Also members of the institute are Michael Carmichael, a former colleague of Bobby Kennedy (which coincidentally a new film of his life is soon to appear in the UK). Another former member is The Who band member, John Entwistle, who coincidentally I looked up for the first time a couple of months ago when my new boss at Havering Council had the same name.

You know that you are working with women as when the winter draws in and the temperature outside goes down the thermastat inside goes up!
