Blogging Friends

2 Comments

Although I have maintained a reasonable but sometimes intermittent schedule of blog posts of a period of 10 years, I have neglected the Blog Roll. You can find this by scrolling a short way down on the right-hand side. It is a list of blogs that I enjoy reading and think you may do, too.

Some blogs have not been updated in a while but there is still lots of older content that is still interesting and relevant. Others are quite active with regular updates.

I have have been very slack in following/reading them so am planning to make time to reacquaint myself with them.

I will add others as I find them.

Do you have a blog that you would like me to add? Do have any blogs that you particularly enjoy? Please share in the comments.

While there is always something that can be found to do, it is a great feeling to know that the everyday tasks are all done.

Yesterday I did 4 loads of washing which included the bed linen and towels for both The Duke and I plus our most recent Air BnB guests who departed yesterday morning.  The washing and ironing are all done, I have a meal ready for dinner tomorrow night, the bathroom is clean and beds freshly made.  The dishes are done and lunches partly made for tomorrow.

So, there is nothing left to do apart from settle into bed with a new magazine that my mother passed on to me recently.

The housework will return soon enough but for now I am going to indulge myself.

 

What to Write

2 Comments

Some days my head is exploding with ideas for blog posts and I am overwhelmed with things I want to tell you.  Tonight is not one of those days.  I feel completely devoid of things to write about.  This set me to thinking about where I get the inspiration for the topics I write about.

2014-02-20 01I write about what I have done that day – today I was at work in an office environment all day.  I was focused on masses of spreadsheets and reports which are hardly the stuff of riveting posts.  This week has been almost entirely about work so you are lucky that the posts of the past few days were roughed out on the weekend because since then I have been almost totally immersed in my work.

Things that I read can sometimes be the basis for a post – it can be a book, another blog or a news item.  Nothing comes to mind.

It can be something as simple as an overheard comment or phrase that triggers the creative juices and gets me writing for you.

Perhaps it is a case of the saying, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”.

What would you write about tonight?  Do you have a story to share?
