Actually, I didn’t get any kind of sense of satisfaction because I knew I was writing rubbish most of the time. I won’t be doing NaBloPoMo again next year. It just reminds me how bad at blogging I actually am. If you catch me trying to do it again please stop me.

More words

I’m still trying to write the post about ‘How a Heart Defect Affects My Life’. Today, I tried doing a brainstorm on the way to work and wrote down a list of words and phrases that came to mind when I thought about having a heart defect.
I made a Wordle from these words, as well. [...]

I bet you’re glad it’s the last day of NaBloPoMo today.
La, la, la, la…

Someone pointed out to me the other day that singing is a physical activity and of course he was quite right. This fact was brought home to me on the evening of that same other day when we had choir practice. It was a full run through of the first concert, plus some of the [...]

I had my flu vaccine today. It was fine, apart from the fact that I don’t really like looking at needles and the doctor took the vaccine out of the packet and then proceeded to carry on talking to me about how many vaccines she has to do and all the bureaucracy that goes with [...]

I can’t write any more of a post today because I have to go and practice the Angels’ Carol, otherwise we will never get it right and we might have to miss it out of the concert, which would be a shame.
I’d quite like

an invisibility cloak. I think they’ll probably really exist, one day. There have been some stories in the news about scientists developing materials that could be used to make such cloaks in the future. It would be nice to go about unseen sometimes.

I’m sorry my blog entries are so short at the moment. I’m going to try and write a longer one tomorrow. I meant to do this today, but when I sat down at the computer it was later than I expected it to be and I was feeling more tired than I expected to feel.

Reading a comment on my blog. Thank you, Lily. You made my day.

Now, listening to Etta James.
Today’s random photograph:
Another sunset. This one was in Norway, in June 2007.
