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................
