Monday, 7th September 2020

Monday, 07 September 2020 Hi! Happy September!  I’d like to say, “Happy Autumn”, but according to the calendar, there are two more weeks of summer.  (Officially Autumn starts 22nd September) The weather doesn’t seem to reflect that, as the temperatures are more autumn-like.  And autumn is my favourite season. So, I’ve some news!  The book …

UP and down…

Last Monday, (3rd August 2020) I felt well, so well that I walked over two-and-a-half miles.  Tuesday I felt low, so sat most of the day reading.  Wednesday, the essential tremors I struggle with made me so tired I stayed in bed till the middle of the afternoon.  Thursday, I managed to make a broccoli-cauliflower …

Reading, reading….and writing…

Reading, reading….and writing…

I have missed blogging.  I know it might be a bit random for me to suddenly show up again.  But I found a way that I can serve two purposes.  One is to actually have a topic to share.  The other to introduce you to other authors I found and want to encourage and support.  …

Saying something after six months.

Saying something after six months.

               A pot of chili soup is simmering on the back burner of the stove/cooker.  The online radio station I am currently enjoying is http://www1.cbn.com/radio                Exactly six months ago I wrote that my blogging Sabbatical was over.  Then silence—a post-less blog.  Ironic, isn’t it?  So, what was I doing during that six months?  I …

The Sabbatical Is Over

The Sabbatical Is Over

            My last blog post was indeed over a year ago, 12th May 2016.  I found myself asking, “What is the purpose of my blog?  What is the theme I want to focus on?  I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was thirteen years old.  It was a few months after I fell in …

The Interrupted Night

The Interrupted Night

         Dreaming, I was; the kind of dream that had all the salient and succinct details been clear upon awakening would have made for an intriguing book.   So lost in the dream it felt real, yet I knew it to be illusion, a product of an active mind during sleep.           Through this state of …

2016 Stations of the Cross

2016 Stations of the Cross
