Finding a Balance
The warm days of summer, lying in the sunshine, way back in July and August, seem a lifetime ago. We got married in July, had a wedding party in August, and then went away to Australia for a three-month honeymoon in September. We were poor, but we were happy. And we had so little to do other than...

I've Just Pressed the Button!
It's been a lot more nerve-wracking than I expected. I've spent the last month or so working fairly hard, in amongst my other projects and committments, putting together a website for my new property publishing business. Before I go any further, there's a couple of phrases there that need pulling...

Are You An Artist? I Need Some Help!!
It's not often I use this wonderful network of ours to ask a favour, but I am a bit stuck. I'm building a website that I want to launch later this week. I'm using a brilliant online site builder called ShoppingCartsPlus.com, and I'm damn close to being ready. What I don't have yet is a logo. Or...

An Early Spring Day
It's been a stunningly beautiful day here in the northeast of England. Clear blue skies, bright sunshine and no wind. I went out at lunchtime and walked into town, and I ended up carrying my thick, Guatemalan coat. It was so warm. My main mission was to accompany a friend of mine to the bus stop, on...

Two Years and Counting!!
Last year I managed to celebrate my birthday with a post and a quiet smile. This year, for some reason, I got it into my head that the date was today. And it's not. So this year, I missed my Blogit birthday, which actually falls on January 15th. I think it would be nice if Blogit staff sent a...

The Rollercoaster Turns a Corner
This week just gone has been such a rollercoaster! However, I think I can safely say that we have turned a corner in terms of our finances and workload and, therefore, should be OK for the foreseeable. I may be a little premature in this assessment, but the lights are really starting to come back...

On the Question of Evil - It's a Blogging Daisy-Chain!
So - GoldenMean wrote a post on the nature of evil in his blog "The Golden Rule Needs Some Iron". This prompted a comment from ExStud, who then turned his comment into a post in his blog called "Dylan's Thoughts on Tobacco and Other Blessings". I've just read this post, and I left a comment which, I...

My River of Light is Swelling!
We had a really really productive weekend! Saturday was clear and bright - just the sort of day we'd been waiting for. So, straight after breakfast, we went out, took a deep breath, and opened the garage door. It used to be about a quarter full of my stuff - stuff I was undecided what to do with, or...

A Peek Inside My head
I have so much going on at the moment that I'm finding it hard to sleep - both when I first retire, and in the early hours, when I find myself waking up at ridiculous-o'clock and unable to return to the Land of Nod. Here's a quick snapshot of the inside of my head. My publishers want me to update...

DamonLeigh - Film-Maker Extraordinaire!!
Having come back from Australia with over fourteen hours of digital video footage, I face a daunting task in editing all that down to something even remotely watchable. However, I do have iMovie 4 on my Mac, which is a great editing suite, easily the best on the market without going pro. And in...
