almost a full moon

It'll be a full moon soon - actually I once knew someone whose entire personality changed whenever there was a full moon. Scary stuff. Well, provided it stays nice and dry I shall be outside and bowing to it nine times....it doesn't have to be a full moon either, as far as I'm concerned the moon is so beautiful, I'll bow to it any time.

And down in the bottom of my garden maybe the Green Man will be watching. We've made him a special throne - just for him!

The Green Man is sure to like his seat of honour

  I do hope so! We just felt it was a way of honouring him in a very private and quiet part of the garden.

The Green Man's throne is magnificent.

As for the full moon, I trained as a psychi nurse and I can tell you that anyone in mental health knows that the full moon affects some bi-polar and schizophrenic patients. One bi-polar I nursed always got very hyper and tore off his clothes.

Never have an accident on a full moon - not only will you bleed more but also blood reserves will be lower because more accidents occur around the full moon.

I always know the moon's phase, but even if I didn't I bet I could tell just by observing the traffic in the rush hour!

It's no surprise really, after all the moon affects tides and we are almost entirely water!

I love the moon. I can stare at her for hours. One of my favourite(and now few) belongings is a proper moonphase watch, and one of my favourite words is 'gibbous'.

  Thanks Sally. Yes, I've noticed a number of things around a full moon over the years, plus there has recently been a survey (out in Poland I think) which supports all the things you mention above. Old longcase clocks often showed the moonphase - which just goes to show that even in the early 19th century it was still considered an important part of daily life.
  
  Oh, that word gibbous - don't you just love it! It's one of my favourites too!
