Sorry Blog

Second time I have done this -we are having real problems with our new broadband connection and its going to be at least another week before we can get the telephone people out here to check a fault on the line.

I am now going to make this short in case it cuts out again- it just did it- makes me so cross. My previous blog all gone......

making progress on book- anyone out there who can help with what it is like to be on a film set on location? Must find out.

Going to Paris next week so will be checking out how my hypnotherapy for Fear of Flying is working....

Well I shall go now. Will try to get back sooner, time and broadband connections allowing...time passing too quickly for my liking- like being on a merry go round that goes faster and faster and you cant get off- the stuff of nightmares. But -hey- this nightmare is my life -whirling passed faster and faster now I am over a Certain Age......

Evening Blog,

Well we have a shiny new computer now- the fan is a little noisy- do we complain or not? I am not going to - man's job. He ordered it- not my choice of make. How terratorial and sexist( whatever happened to the War of the Sexes? Where did it go?)-well I am of the generation before New Age Man- if there is such a thing.

I have to say seeing Lord of the Rings, Troy and reading too many books about Men in Short Skirts fighting has made me think that New Age guys are a bit wussy- or does that come from being A Certain Age? A friend of mine who is over A Certain Age was telling me that the older you get the more you ( as in one) read about facts rather than fiction. This may be true- but I am only reading faction books here. True fact books are a little like hard work. I am still ploughing very slowly through Simon Schama's History of Britain and a book about Mary Queen of Scots life around Lord Darnley. Fascinating but hard work still- especially when I can read about strong young men in short skirts.......Brad Pitt was rather tasty in his skirt and leather jerkin....Well you have to realise that, once at a very Personal medical examination I was told I was biologically 10 years younger than my chronological age, and therefore I have to take it that I am not as old as I seem....

Anyway this was just to tell you I have started my book- 12 pages so far and I'm only writing on odd occasions when I get an hour spare out of my busy commitment driven life. Its really good fun. Iam going to try and get on a writing course to see if Im doing OK- shame to keep ploughing away if its just crap.

If anyone other than you Blog sees this perhaps they'd be so good as to let me know if I seem a really boring person and likely to write boring crap. On second thoughts, perhaps not....

Anyway Blog- must go , bed is calling.

Goodnight.
