Well, I have decided to enter the wonderful world of blogging. Another thing that I can add to my long list of displacement activities to call on in times of need. I have been inspired by watching "Diary of a Nobody" currently showing as part of BBC4 Edwardian season.The choice of blogger name will become apparent when you read my profile, assuming that I can work out how to do that. Well I have worked out how to do that but completely failed to transfer the attached picture into the profile; and I thought I was so good at following instructions.
I mentioned displacement activities; currently I am supposed to be doing the background reading for a law assignment that is due in on 26 May. I could also be completing the photo album for a friend ready for the big party on Saturday. Then there is a pile of paperwork sitting on a table behind me that is no doubt harbouring some bill or form that should have been dealt with weeks ago. Of course all these things could be displacement activities for other more important things which owing to my advancing years have completely slipped my mind. Such is the nature of displacement activities. I would be interested to hear what your favourite DA is; and I know that there are lots of you out there who are frantically preparing for exams of all kinds so I am sure you are all being very creative with the ways that you shouldn't be spending your time. My son when approaching his GCSE's decided that it was time to tidy up all the cables at the back of his TV - the rest of his room was like a midden - but the back of the TV was a masterpiece.
So I have learnt my one new thing today, I don't really need to go and learn about the Tort of Negligence, that can be tomorrow's new thing or maybe Friday's. I think I will go and attend to the dishwasher and have some lunch, then perhaps hang a few pictures................

Welcome to the blogging world! Pleased to see Matty and the Dearingroydes under your favourite books - do let me know if you want to borrow any more RCs.
DAs... well, I think pretty much everything I do comes under that category. Wikipedia is the latest thing to facilitate my DA-lifestyle. Oops.
Ah Wikipedia, so many blind allies and cul-de-sacs; one can travel so far without leaving your seat, and you can pretend that you are researching for that essay; but your original query has long since left your head. An essential weapon in the displacement activists armoury.
Fantastic blogname! We can call you ABC. That has to be better than SiaB which always has me lolling my tongue out of the side of my mouth as I type and nodding with each initial. I'm a great one for reading blogs in the morning when i should be: washing, getting dressed, feeding the rabbit, hanging up the washing and WALKING OUT OF THE DOOR AND CATCHING THE TRAIN TO WORK.... bother just missed another one..
Hello and welcome -- you will now join the list of my own DAs which really now have mostly dwindled (or expanded) to blogging and reading other peoples' blogs.
Welcome indeed!
Blogging may be a DA but it's actually made me more productive in some ways, so I think of it as A GOOD THING - hope you will, too.
Thank you all for your welcome. I hadn't actually noticed that my name was alphabetical! Glad to see there are so many crafters about. Today I really am going to get down to the photo album
Hi there
wish I knew your name so I could say, "Hi ??" ... I guess it has to be ABC for now. Welcome - bienvenue
just read the comment you left on my Books Blog - and don't know how to reply from there - thank you kindly, and it's nice to know that we share some of the 'crafty' things
funny you said you got there by way of Simon - he wrote an entry on April 17 Community Service describing how he found me by just browsing through the 'next blog' thingy one day when he was bored ... discovered our mutual love affair with Helene Hanff
ummhh ... I don't know what a brick counter is ... is it akin to a number cruncher?
Hi Janice, its Maggie. A brick counter is a Quantity Surveyor - not sure if that is a profession in the US! Covers lots of things in Construction from measuring and estimating, project management, contract management and dispute resolution. Too old to train as an architect and I wanted to do something with buildings.
Oh look a blog-warming party in progress and I'm the last to arrive!Welcome to this lovely friendly world Maggie aka ABC ,Ruth you are too clever by far to have spotted that!
I love the pics and look forward to more, we are all mastering these digital cameras and I've just been really brave and sent for a 2GB memory stick for my laptop which will completely impress my children...perhaps though I do still have to ring up for instructions on the DVD player.
Thank you for your welcome. I'll be bringing around the nibbles and Pimms shortly. Maybe later we can do some turns or play charades!
Hi there,
I'm writing from Hesperus Press because I noticed your reply to Simon's blog about us on stuck-in-a-book. I wondered whether you'd like to receive a copy of our catalogue? I know it might not help with that mantra of yours, but could well be another displacement activity to add to the list. If you'd be interested, drop me a line at enquiriesAThesperuspressDOTcom and I'll pop one in the post.
All the best,
Ellie Robins.

The initial cost for these LED bulbs is high but they will pay back your
investment within a few months. They need only ten to thirty percent as much power as C7s or C9s.
Next it will be time of the lesser folks like 60w, 40w
and 25w.
