Yes, I do this. IT isn’t aa case of putting off until tomorrow what I don’t want to do today. I daydream, waffle and don’t focus. I don’t really have a goal at the moment. I think I need to set one. What could it be? 1. To get my full licence (I’m an intermediateContinue reading “Procrastination & Time Maangement”

A horrible thought occurred to me; not only am I not particularly good at writing, what if i don’t have a story to tell? Do my writings have too be about me? I don’t suppose they do. So, what could I write about? Religion? – Too controversial, bound to upset somebody. Politics? – Too controversial,Continue reading “What if I don’t have a narrative?”

The bird table has been fairly active today. Magpies, Pigeons, the odd Sparrow and Starlings. No squirrels though, as far as we are aware – we haven’t watched the table all day. The starlings though, were well on form. One in particular did not want to share the table with any others, although happy toContinue reading “Birds, Walking & Churches”

I looked out the kitchen window just as I was preparing my breakfast. I could see that the bird table was absolutely rammed with starlings. It’s not a big table, less than a foot square. I reckon it had about seven or eight starlings partaking of their morning meal. Were they preparing for their morningContinue reading “Breakfast on the Bird Table”

Before we moved here, at our last home we had a very busy bird table. Here, we have had a bird table in place for a long time. I have had several attempts to lure birds here without success. Recently I had another go, and this time it has gone a bit mad. Regular visitsContinue reading “The Bird Table”

So, here’s the thing. It’s 2230, I’m in bed and normally, I have a strict rule about not doing anything involving a screen except reading my kindle which doesn’t count. Why am I writing this? It’s one of those I need to get it out of my system things. Over the last couple of weeksContinue reading “Railways”

Several days ago, I wrote about not walking, yet I walked. I walked again this morning. I had a bit of an internal battle to go out, but I do need to get used to doing it. I saw very few people. It was a little bit busier than it was on Tuesday. But stillContinue reading “Walking”

I had a chat with my boss. I told him that I was worried about going back to work. Actually, I don’t think it’ll be a problem. We aren’t open plan and we don’t hot-desk. There are only three of us in our team, and our office is big enough for us to socially distanceContinue reading “Not walking”

I went for a walk this morning. It was the first time in 6 weeks that I have been out for a walk in the morning. It was lovely to be able to go. It wasn’t sunny, it was a little bit breezy, but not cold. A concern of the family was encounters with otherContinue reading “Lockdown & Blog”

It’s not a story, so don’t think I’ve gone fictional on you. The story is that of me writing my blog. The thing is what do I want to do with this blog? I’ve nothing to sell. I’ve no real story to tell. All I have is a desire to write. And, nothing to writeContinue reading “The Story”
