Monday 18th May

Writing a blog every day presents the writer with the biggest problem of all, what to write about.  Usually something will occur to me, often soon after I have woken up thinking about, or maybe something I saw on the news, which has sparked my interest.  I do have a few bankers – politics of course, but post election it is pretty boring, music is a subject I rarely tire of too, my old poetry is another and of course excerpts from 2066 – my dystopian novel looking back on the year 2066 (confused – you will be if you read it….hahaha).  But sometimes I am stuck for a subject.  And today is one of those days.  I could write about my day, a bit of painting in the garden room (walls, not canvases) a couple of hours in the café, a cool glass of Hoegarten in the Café de Paris and a meal at a new restaurant in town “Chouette” which apparently means Owl in French.  But to be honest the day is very similar to many others, two weeks in to retirement and finding a nice routine.  I could have written about music; I am re-listening to alphabetically my CDs and am on F.  Just finished the Faces and Fairground Attraction – but do you really want to hear about them?  I have glanced back at some old poems, but awful as you may have found many, the remainder are truly excruciating….  2066 was featured a day or so ago so Janek must wait a bit longer for another appearance.

So if you will excuse me I will stop shortly – of course I could just ramble on like this for quite a while.  Once your fingers touch the keys it is really effortless…..

Hopefully tomorrow a really interesting subject will occur to me.
