I have set myself a challenge-to see if I can write a blog in half an hour, proof read and post it on the same day.
No time to think about a subject, exactly what to write or how to write it – just doing it.
I realised I am a bit of a control freak. I like things to be just how I want them, whether work or home, so I figured this is an opportunity to let go and just get on with it.
In respect of writing, it is amazing how accustomed we can become to relying on spelling mistakes being highlighted and the ability to go back and change things. Is it ever going to good enough?
I love the spontaneity of this challenge, i am sitting on a train to Swindon, late Sunday afternoon. I do this trek most weekends and I hate:
– having to try and lift my luggage on the luggage shelves-already packed with everyone else’s stuff

– People hogging the seats next to them, either with their bags or, as is the case today, their feet! A short glare and the feet go down -makes a change.

– the annoying tinny sounds coming out of the guy’s iphone opposite me. – people coughing who should stay at home rather than generously share their germs

I can’t believe me the conversations some people seem quite happy to have in public, arguments, food shopping lists and talking to an estate agent, happily giving put an email address for all to hear. I would rather text or just not bother.
Something that does make me giggle though is looking at what people call their mob device-you know, when you are searching for wifi connections in a public place. The best one o saw the other day was “FBI unit white van sitting outside”. Today’s list not so fun-“GWR WiFi”.
Anyway believe it or not coming up to my half an hour so time to finish this blog already and get to my hotel.

This has been quite liberating. It feels kind of good just writing my mental meanderings down. I might just try it again.

I wonder how many mistakrs I’ll find when I proof read?

and after I have published this…..
