Excuses....

 On occasion I come across someone’s blog. A number of them appear to have been dormant for weeks or even months. Quite frequently there is a rather lame apology about how they got busy or that given the chaos of their lives the blog became less important to them or perhaps they had nothing to write about. These explanations always seem to end with a promise to do better in the future. I always said that that would never happen to me.

It has and I have no excuse. The urge to write just left for a while. Perhaps I had no more words in me, perhaps I found another outlet or perhaps I was just tired of pumping out a couple of thousand words a week for a few months. It also may be connected to the fact that that I have lost most of my TV stations because of the almost universal switch to digital from analogue broadcasting. (I really don’t know what that means – but it sounds as if I do). I therefore have not

watched either CBC news or the Agenda on TVO – I am lacking fodder for my rants. It is hard to get irate when I don’t know what is going on. But I miss the routine and the discipline of writing. So I am going to try harder to post something on a more regular better. Who knows, I may even get a bit creative and make up things.

Of course without the news and without me travelling  - perhaps I have nothing to say. I have made a conscious choice to not to write about  my kids and grandkids  nor do I write about my teaching career (although Lord knows there could be lots to talk about). Considering that I spend a good chunk of my time at school or with my family – that doesn’t leave much to discuss.I could of couse talk about my “playing with wool”.  I have been consumed in the past month or so trying to produce enough product to enter a sale down in Cobourg in a few week. I think I will almost be ready the day before the sale.

For those of you who have been checking in on occasion to see what is happening – thank you. I will try to do better in the future.
