(I have finally made myself do my Ski-Training, so I can write again ;)) My life seems to be full of paperwork at the moment. I’d like to say I’m getting better at dealing with it, but I think that would be lying. It seems to create more problems and hassle per square inch than […]
I love the sound of breaking glass – Nick Lowe I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass (pretty handy considering how often I hear it…)
(please assume all references to ‘men’ mean people) Once upon a time there was a dirt road between 2 small villages. The villages were pretty and the fields inbetween were pretty too. A man stood in the middle of the road, between the 2 villages. He was admiring the view. Another man walked along the […]
(I was just looking though my posts and found a draft version of Wednesday’s post. I thought it was competely gone, but apparently not. Here it is.) I don’t know why I give either as much power as I do. Yesterday wasn’t a particularly spectacular day. As well as losing my halo, I also lost […]
Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers. – Isaac Asimov
Why is it, on some days getting out of bed counts as productive already, and others -like today- I can wash my hair, help out at Sunday school, clear and sort my kitchen, sort out a folder of certificates and ‘important’ papers, think about Christmas presents for people, decorate a pinboard, write 3 emails (one […]
I went to watch the advent fireworks in my town just now. They went off at 11pm. I caught the bus down and was there just in time to glance around the bargainboxes in MediaMarkt (late-night-opening tonight) and make my way to the square. The fireworks were spectacular in the sense that all fireworks are […]
Usually people turn over new leaves, especially at the beginning of the year. I’ve decided to rake up a few of my older ‘new leaves’, the ones which have fallen by the wayside over the course of the year. Hopefully some of them will stick this time round and I’ll have a headstart on next […]
I can’t work well at work. I have a problem with people watching me, and since a lot of people seem to want to spend their day sitting at my workbench I spend a lot of time not working at my best. It’s not my workshop, so I can’t banish them, but I can’t work […]
It’s not raining on my parade, – I’m parading in the rain! -Chalee Tennison-
I’m too sleepy to write as much as I’d like to on this, but it’s been a theme running through several conversations this week. If what we say isn’t always what they hear, then maybe what we hear isn’t what they said…….. (/what they meant)
“Easy reading is damn hard writing.” – Nathaniel Hawthorne
Okay. I add ‘and of Mozilla’s moodswings’ to that. My post was pretty much finished and now it’s gone. The gist of it was that I am easily swayable by external factors: things, situations, people…and chocolate. That and the fact that I spend too much time and energy trying to placate people who make life […]
