I do think I’ve lost the knack of writing. Really truly. I’ve sat down umpteen times today and just stared at the screen desperately trying to think of something intelligent, witty or simply just amusing to write on my weblog. And what do I come up with: zilch, nada, nothing. Maybe now that I’m not ridiculously highly strung from the wedding my creative urge has left me. Relaxation has destroyed by biting whit and stolen my ability to create a nicely turned phrase. Or maybe, now I’ve returned to a (mundane) day-to-day routine, I just don’t have anything interesting to say. Whatever the reason… the thoughts aren’t really flowing.
I’ve just sent Giles out for ice cream – at least now that I’ve successfully fit into “the dress”(all the dresses really, I was just as concerned about the Reception dress as I was the Wedding dress) I can eat loads of ice cream. I’m secretly planning to become exceptionally fat and spotty, stop shaving my legs and not bother with make-up – but don’t tell Giles. Maybe the ice cream will help with the creative block. At very least it will taste yummy.
My other problem at the moment is my computers are plotting against me. The arse o a computer that I’m on at the minute is running slower than a dead legless dog. I’m actually about five words ahead before it manages to display the words on the screen and because I’m the WORST_TYPIST_IN_THE_WORLD I have to go back and fix all of my typos. I should just publish the blog the way it comes out… then you will truly understand how badly I type (maybe next time) The b****rd laptop has decided to play silly buggers and occasionally “loose” its mouse function. It wouldn’t turn on the monitor about an hour ago.
It’s a sign. I should run off to Tahiti and make dolls out of coconuts and palm leaves.
I won’t be able to handle the misbehaving computers much longer so I think this is going to be a short one. Of course I have hundreds of things to do ON THE PC excepting the Thank you notes, which I worry about every day and then decide to start tomorrow. Giles I starting with his “Thank yous” tomorrow so I’m sure I’ll be guilted into it by the end of the month. Besides, I can’t find the “recommended” time you should get “Thank yous” out in. Anyone have a suggestion?
Giles is back – with Vienetta – and this computer has just ridden my last nerve. So I’m off.
I’ll get back to the wedding festivities tomorrow….
P.S I am planning on getting some photos onto the website soon. Be patient!
