Blogging in my brain

Posted in Life by

So I have been terrible at blogging regularly so far this year and here is why I think that is… things happen to me and I think to myself maybe I should write a blog about that.  I map it out in my brain, test it and then forget about it… Or once I have finished thinking about it and go to start typing I decide that it was a silly blog and no one will really care.   So most of my blogs have been in my head… and the ones that do make it to semi typed never get published, because they never get completely finished… mostly because I don’t like back dating and now the moment has passed and I am worried it will come across like a grade 5 school diary.

I’m a little sad that this is the case, and I really wish it wasn’t because there were some fun stories, interesting observations and even some very important public announcements… and while I am not going to back date them, perhaps some of them will come out in the future… who knows… all I know is that while my internet blog seems to be temporarily asleep, the blogs are writing themselves in my brain, just not getting any further.

Maybe I need one of those dictation apps…

Summer Lovin’

Posted in Life, The List by

So even though I don’t have holidays over summer that doesn’t mean I haven’t taken the chance to enjoy some of the fun in the sun that summer encourages… It’s no secret that I love the beach… in fact sometimes I even think I might be a little obsessed with the beach, I can’t get enough of it… When I was younger my bedroom at home was even decorated in what I termed “beach colours” complete with blue walls and a yellow curtain… but now that I am older, I don’t get to go to the beach as often as I would like, so I like to make the most of it when I am there. But summer isn’t just about the beach, it’s just a nice month… a little more relaxed, a little more fun… the January effect… a little like what I was talking about in my blog about ‘New Beginnings’. Anyway, to make the most of my Summer Sun I have been using the weather to cross a few things off the list already… yep only 14 days in and there are already 5 things off the list… I know I have already blogged about my hobbit like adventure… but here are the rest…

No. 25 Blow some bubbles…
Thanks to a surprise gift from a very generous friend at work to help me cope with the loss of my recently dead computer, I was able to spend a few minutes at work blowing bubbles at lunch… and it was just as fun as I thought it would be. I love bubbles, they are just so pretty and fun and I don’t think there are anywhere near enough bubbles in my life. Seriously if you haven’t blown some bubbles recently, you should get on to it!

No. 67 Visit a country town I haven’t been to before…
So even though it’s just around the corner from my usual holiday destination I had never been to Cape Paterson… but now I have… and like all good little towns it had a cute little pub which gave us a good feed for lunch… thanks Cape Paterson and Dave!

No. 85 Have a milkshake…
Milkshakes are delicious… really delicious and there is nothing better than sitting in the sun with your Dad and Dave enjoying a super cold blue heaven milkshake…

No. 90 Fly a kite…
A fun afternoon at the beach, with my retro kite and some instructions from Dave I managed to fly a kite… I think it will be a while before I can steer the thing or keep it in the air on my terms not its… but it was fun and it looked super pretty flying in the sky.
