Not that I'm forever checking to see who's been flocking to read my pearls of wisdom - oh no! Perish the thought. Well, yes...I'll confess, I do, (poor sad creature that I am). It's clear I've a spirit of pride along with the stinginess and procrastination. ;)(See last months logs for details).
I'm working on the last one. Yes, you'll be glad to know - especially Smudgie and Jack - that at long last I've got going on the assignment and produced (gasp!) all of ONE paragraph. It had to be done. I sensed that the procrastination was getting to 'procrastingy' even for me when I found myself pootling around on Publisher planning out next Christmas's Round Robin. (Readers of SoF might remember me agonizing over this one). Though to let you (and a million other faceless bloggers) into a secret, I quite fancy doing something out of the ordinary: gathering various of my 'thoughts,' and 'viewpoints' together in an attractively bound little booklet, for instance and sending them out to those people who've been honoured by inclusion on my card list. Just imagine the look of astonishment and delight on those little faces when they open....No Miffy, you couldn't be so cruel....could you?
Talking of delight, we were quite flabberghasted, but thrilled last night when little Miff gave us a showing of a DVD he'd made for English at school. I'd wondered what on earth he was doing yesterday. I didn't like to ask why he'd borrowed his Dad's hat, poured a glass of milk and plunged out into the snowy back garden armed only with a spade. It turns out he was filming a Seamus Heaney poem. And for a son who professes not to see the point of poetry, the results were outstanding. We know he's a wannabee film maker, (he's spent 2 years completing a skate video with another one planned for 2006), but this was way out of that league! Sniff. There's one extremely proud Mum. (I know how you feel, Smudgie!)
Although the workmen must have wondered why someone had started off their digging for them when they arrived this morning. Yes, after more than a week's wait, we now have a back garden looking like a lunar landscape, a severely scalped Buddlia bush and a dirty great JCB mounting guard outside the Miffy residence. I'll keep you posted.
