Finally Something to Write About

A lot has happened since I last posted on this blog, but nothing that I felt like posting on this blog. I suppose anything I had to say was either too personal, or too business. My online business has been expanding and experiencing all varieties of twists and turns. Living arrangements and long term plans have fluctuated accordingly.

21. August 2009

I want to tell you about the elephant who draws better than me. Now, I admit it, that’s not saying much. I mean, really no competition there. Some people were born to draw, some people weren’t.

Alarm Clock on Wings

Almost every morning the robin redbreast tries to break into my bedroom window. He flies at the window, backs up, and charges it again. I’m not sure what he is trying to do – maybe trying to get me out of bed. If I sit up and yell at him he goes away.

One Day

One day I will sit down in front of my laptop, and I will log in to this blog. I will choose a new theme for the blog, even if it means slogging through theme after theme, in an hours-long search which will eventually result in the perfect match. I will then probably spend several [...]
