Well, That Didn’t Go Well Now Did It

By saying ‘well, that didn’t go well, now did it ? I was, of course, self-admonishing using sarcasm. I was referring to my efforts to write here on a daily basis or at least put together a consistent routine for writing.

I managed two days and then it went right out of the window. I was even set to do it yesterday, I remember thinking I would write two posts, that was mid-morning time, then the rest of the day seemed to get away from me, as it seems to do these days.

It didn’t help that I spent thirty-five minutes sitting in a car park waiting for one of my offspring to come and collect his phone that he had inadvertently left at home. It wasn’t until I realised that the concrete surrounds were stopping my message from getting through to him and drove around the block, that he finally appeared

All told, I lost a couple of hours and never managed to recover, ‘life’ is trying to do the same today but I’m not having a ‘bean of it. Sometimes you just have to stick with whatever you need to do and try not to get distracted.

I had so much to write about yesterday and today it seems to have gone away, no matter, onward we must go.

So, this morning I have been working through some training in relation to a couple of software programs I have recently purchased, which is fine but time-consuming, especially when all you want to do is write, still, what do they say ? Patience is a virtue.

I did make a note of a quote that I read yesterday and I thought I would share it with you. “Remember that what you do not yet know is more important than what you already know” this was courtesy of Jordan Peterson. I had to read it a few times before it sank in, pause for thought, as they say.

I have one job left on the newly built shed and then it will be time for junk distribution. Twenty-five years of accumulation just waiting to be sifted through. To think that I came to this house with enough stuff to fill the boot of my Opel Manta and not much else. A quarter of a century later with a wife and four children and there’s a need for an extra shed to house my worldly belongings.

Sad news today, with the passing of Barbara Windsor. I will admit that my fondest memories are from her ‘Carry On’ days as opposed to her role in Eastenders. Still, she bought hours of pleasure to many with all of her cinematic roles.

I am splitting my time and will have to cut this one short, I can feel myself starting to lose my focus and that normally means boring prose and we don’t want that.

I have started yet another notebook, which I will be using to jot down ideas, quips and nuggets of inspiration so that I always have something to fall back on when it’s time to write.

Not feeling it today, feel free to check out my other posts HERE.

Have a good one.
