Empty head




Explain this phenomena to me. In bed, at the bus stop, anywhere away from my computer i write the most interesting posts. In my head. But the minute i sit here to write something all thought deserts me. Nothing, nowt, zilch. One empty head. And to make it worse it's raining and I'm not at work.


About three weeks ago the handle of my handbag came unstitched and broke. Now i could have mended it but i have a bit of a handbag fetish... after about six months i get fed up with it and buy another. Which is the reason i only ever buy cheap bags. So what was i going to do today?? I was off to buy my new bag and do some Christmas shopping. But it is pouring down and has been all day. It is dark, dull, windy... Horrible in fact.



Time for a random picture ~


This was where the random picture was supposed to be, but as you can see they came up at the top???????????


On holiday this year we went on a deer safari, i think i have mentioned it before. Well this was it and the face g'daugher pulled after feeding the deer. She had very dirty hands.



I would love to show some pictures of my other g'kids but do not have as many photos of them. One reason is that they are much older and whenever we go round there they are in and out like yoyo's with their friends. Also i am very bad at taking photos and most of the ones i have of my daughter's children, she has taken and emails me them. Unfortunately at Son's house computers only last a few months with 5 kids on it. The deadly virus is just waiting to get it. So i don't have as many pics of them at all. Hopefully i will get some when i go Christmas.



I have just had my tea, sausage and mash. I used my new frying pan to do the sausages and what do you know... i still nearly burnt them. LOL!!! I will get used to the new cooker, and yes i have myself a new set of pans but it hasn't improved the cooking
Daughter just told me what she had for tea and it sounded very tasty:
Cook some chicken and bacon and put on top of leeks and mushrooms in a casserole dish.. Pour a tin of condensed chicken soup over the top and then mashed potato on top of that. She then put it in the oven for 2 hours. Sounds like something i might try.
Well i think i will stop now.
Enjoy tomorrow...

  3. Hello Jenny, I am a bit like you but what I have started to do is to keep a notepad handy and write down a few keywords for a post if you do that when it comes time to write your entry a look at the words you have written down will bring you thoughts back. Hope this works for you it does for me. LOve Joan.

  4. Nice post Jenny. Btw, you have to move the pix to where you want them yourself. They always show up at top, then just click and drop them down a little at a time, that's what I do. Click and drag down, but it only goes down a few sentences at a time, until you find where you want the pix to go. Works fine. As for writing, like many things the harder you try the less you get. Coming home on the train yesterday a really great poem just flew into my head like a dove from Paradise lol. Keep a dream Journal. Also, look at life as if you were just planted here no directions, no warnings. You'll find tons to write about lol. http://cathy-daretothink.blogspot.com/

  5. I've had my old stove a long time now and am afraid if I ever got a new one, I'd be burning things too. They are all so different. Your daughters recipe does sound good. I think the bacon would give it all a good flavor. I'm always forgetting what I wanted to say too. I just tell myself it must not have been important if I forgot that easily. 'On Ya'-ma

  6. Perhaps you might want to try jotting down just a few notes about what pops into your head so that you can get the story back when you sit down to write.

    Would you believe I don't even know what a leek is?

  9. I love the pictures! If you used the add a picture icon when you posted your entry, you can click on and drag the pictures to anywhere you want in the post. And no, I do that all the time -- compose really great entries in my head but then forget them when I sit down to write. That dish sounds great -- I may have to try it. Take care and have a great weekend!
