I've been doing this for a while now, never prolifically but always because I felt I had something amusing, or provocative, or at least whimsical to say. But now, I feel the opposite way. Actually, that's wrong - 'opposite' suggests only two dimensions, whereas my problem is that I'm getting crowded out by an increasing, potentially infinite, volume of stuff I might write about. Today's options, just frinstance, have been: final salary pension schemes; Roman warrior's face helmet and the implications of its sale on contemporary moral relativism; George Osborne's possibly botoxed smirk; oddball guitar tunings; and ladybirds (pestilence of). And those are just the ones I can remember. (Actually, add in 'neighbourhood watch' and 'wireless video connection' and ...)
You get my point. How the f am I supposed to choose from that lot? I'm off to Devon tomorrow, then Kent, then Wales, before I start to settle in to the autumn pre-Christmas hibernation. So you all have a ten day break from the pressure I know my posts invariably place you under. Please feel free to inundate me with topics on which you're avid to see my literary gems. Basically, I just like pissing about with the words.
Well, now what am I supposed to read with my wake up cup of tea? You never know what is going to appear in this blog of yours. Frinstance, the Roman helmet weighs heavily on my thoughts today. Anyway, hava a great trip.
ReplyDeletePlease don't even consider stopping. Your words, in whatever order they appear, always provoke thought or conjure up a picture and should be shared with the world - or even just me :)
