Indecision

I seem to have made friends with my old enemy TIME and developed a new enemy in indecision. It starts every morning with shall I have tea or coffee then moves on to shall I write, paint, garden or go out. I could go swimming or dancing or playing music or visiting my French neighbours. If the weather is bad it helps somewhat because then that cuts out gardening.
Notice that there are two activities missing from the list- cooking and housework-make that three and shopping. These are all things I only do if I really have to. I cook sometimes because I have to eat. I eat raw food if poss or go out to a local restaurant. There are at least nine which are only ten minutes away and charge 9 euros for a five course meal including wine or cider. The problem then is that it takes time to eat 5 courses and I am always tempted to drink some of the wine and then I have trouble staying awake to do some of the things I can't decide which to do.

Blogger's block

I haven't had much inclination to write since I set up this new blog. Although the weather is quite foul I have thoroughly enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend. last week I bought to new filing cabinets and I have spent two days reorganising my office and filing away papers. It's obviously more to do with reorganising my head than anything else and I love finding old posters and articles that I had forgotten about. Now the sun has come out so I shall brave the wind and do some reorganinsing outside.

AND

And I am trying to finish filling in my tax forms.

the morning after

Not alcohol -- gardening. I am so tired today. I keep making resolutions which turn out to be totally unworkable. Maybe it's getting older that is the problem. Or do I expect to do too much?
Breton dancing tonight, St MaloThallo tomorrow and concert tomorrow evening, Music Festival Sunday, and it is bank holiday on Monday so I expect there will be lots happening then.
Will I ever learn to prioritise?

Gardening

I finally made it into the garden again this evening. I was strimming the grass and watching the setting sun which was firery red. aat the same time the moon was rising over the lime tree.
Surely what Maslow would call a peak experience. Why is there no spell check on blog posts?

Last Chance

I lost two posts last night if I loose this I shall try to find a new blog site. Google is supposed to save immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After London

When I arrived back in Brittany I could barely see the house, the grass had grown so high. I spent three or four days working in the garden and forgetting to go to my Breton Dance class and also the Bal in my local Salle de Fete. I did manage to catch the last day of the four day Clarinet Festival. The music was really of the wall, very avant garde. I was amazed to hear and see a 50 strong clarinet choir of children,teenagers and adults playing this stuff; all reading music. I regret not going to look at the score. I would love to know how it was written.
I saw a violin with a kind of bell attached to it. Phil said it was a violophone. I didn't know that they used to be quite popular. We were lucky with the weather as it simply 'issed down all the way home.
Yesterday was the writing group which I set up in Jan. I decided after the last meeting that it was no longer for me. I have been in many writing groups over the last 20 odd years but always women's groups. I thought perhaps I had changed enough to cope with a mixed group but have decided that women and men write generally for fundamentally different reasons. Anyway I felt that I could not read any of my auto-biography in a mixed group. It would be hard enough in an all women's group.
Now that I am back on line. I want to set up a website. My next task is to find someone who knows how to do it. There was an ad in Writers' Forum from someone who sets up sites specifically for writers. I may contact the young woman who lives in Collinee.,
