Creating Excuses
Seems like I've been a little remiss in posting here for the past two weeks. The excuses come tripping off the tongue so smoothly - Easter got in the way, dial up networking whilst waiting for Broadband - but the truth is that my brain hit overload and I really couldn't find space to think what should appear here.
As I may have noted here before, the move to Cornwall was made to free me up to write more and better stuff. Then I chose to get involved with activity taking place in other parts of the UK and other parts of the world. Travelling may broaden the mind (and the backside) but it also adds costs to life and makes those of us who are getting on in years more tired.
However, I am where I am and that is precisely where I wanted to be. Somehow in the welter of activity that has been the past year, we have moved to where we want to be (well, perhaps a little further from the sea but it's only five minutes away) and are beginning to recognise the benefits of living in Cornwall. So why make excuses for the fact that I've been spending some time in the garden getting it straight (I'm hired labour not the creative element!) and I've been enjoying the environment I'm in. Most of the pressure I feel is self-made and it can be sorted. Instead of sitting here in front of my computer, I should be relaxing ready for a busy day tomorrow.
Oh yes - Broadband arrived in the new place on Friday. 2MBs of it! The difference between dial up and Broadband just got much bigger. Now I'm back on Broadband, I will commit to putting this blog out there more often. So, if anyone is listening - good night and speak soon.
