Rain can be a pain, but at least we're alive to see it again.
You see, that's the thing isn't it ? You'd kill for rain over death any day, and when put like that, almost everything can be a bonus if you think about it.
Down in my garage as I correspond, I have just finished writing for the day. My new thing is to write as much as I can until my laptop dies after a full charge - normally about three hours.
I love writing, I don't know why - I just do. I think it's what I'm best at. I love the twists and turns of words and pace. I love the fact that the more you do, the better you get. I love reading it back and being surprised by the sentences as they skip along, racing to keep apace with the story.
I am - of course - very lucky to have a job in the morning that allows me to do this of an afternoon. It doesn't half hurt my back though. Need to get that sorted - along with how to 'save document to desk top' - something I have yet to master - and something that leaves me in constant fear that what I have written will simply slip off quietly one day, never to return...
I can fly a helicopter and operate a radio studio, but I can't seem to save a few pages of text by clicking the right two keys on my qwerty. It's beautifully easy to type qwerty by the way. Have you noticed all those keys are next to each other ?

Bingo Star ere......
CLP - A most nice blog terdee!!!!!!
A try ter look at the positives of rain too..... think sometimes it can be very cosy inside somewhere when it's raining.... and INDEED if yer out somewhere in the countryside it be very calming the gentle pitter patter of rain on the beautiful landscape!!!!!!
Many a teem ave been somewhere beautiful, aving a dee out in the countryside or in Scotland.... in fact a remember a moment a will never forget!!!!
A went ter see the Jacobite Tower and the end of a loch in the 'ighlands of Scotland!!!!
On the Fort William ter Mallaig road... one of the most beautiful places in Europe!!!!!
And the famous curving railway viaduct at the end on the Fort William ter Mallaig railway line... VOTED the most beautiful railway journey in the whole of europe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Anyone who's noot done this drive/ rail journey.... YERV GOTTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AM TELLIN' TER DO IT THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!)
It's the same loch they used ter film the 'arry Potter films & the 'ogwartt's Exprees on the viaduct... THAT'S 'ow beautiful it iz up there.... they used it az the fantasy world location for 'arry Potter!!!!!!!
Forgotted the name of the loch though!!!!! Sure fellow scot blog dudes will be able ter tell all!!!!
Drove up there in me Rover Vitesse with me ex.... it waz summer but one of those 'orredous persistent rainy dees.... low cloud & dull!!!!!
In fact the mountain tops yer couldn't see for the low cloud!!!!
We goot outta the car with a BIG golf umbrella & walked ter the side of the loch... onter the slate on the banks!!!!!&
Nearby the iz a small chapel & the waz some kind of filming going on - a tv crew filming a drama but noot 'arry Potter - show's must be a place of choice for tv stuff!!!!!
Any way we were standing there & yer could 'ear a silence az yer so away from any towns... silence but for the pitter patter of the rain!!!!!
And the rain seemed ter be bringing out the greenery all arooound & yer could smell the freshness!!!!!!!
A sort of fresh..... Scottish soily frsh nature sort of smell!!!!!!!!!! 'ard ter describe!!!!
And despite the annoyance of choosing such a rainy dee ter visit there.... it's sort of stayed in me mind more so for the experience in the rain!!!!!!
A remember too going on the steam train from Fort William ter Mallaig & sticking me 'ead out of the window az we came inter a station on a curve.... the train leaning slightly due ter the curve & aloada DAMN water running off the roof & soaking me 'ead!!!!!!!
Noot a bad thing!!!!!! A thing a will alaways remember for the rain making it more beautiful.... fresher!!!!!!!
Talkin' of which.... ave been watching the BRILLIANT tv programme by Micheal Portillo on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ2 all about rail travel arooound the British Isles!!!!!!!
It's on again every neet this week at 6.30pm on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ2 - A STRONGLY recommend it ter all ter watch... ter record it if yer can't see it live - brilliant journey arooound our beautiful country!!!!!!!
(PS It's noot about trains.... more about seeing the country by train!!!!!)
Makes me even more annoyed a didn't stop The Portillo last year when a walked past 'im in London - didn't realise 'e always wanted ter be a train driver too & 'as a love of railways!!!!! (some might remember a wrote on the blog a passed 'im last year - one of the few good guys of British politics!!!!!!!)

Ooh, please take care of your back. I slipped a disc last April and was flat out for almost four weeks - it was horrible.
So, please make sure that you sit right back in your chair while you're typing and don't be tempted to lean forward, otherwise it will really hurt your lower back! Pull your chair in as close to your desk as possible too and try and avoid a chair with arms as that stops you from getting close enough to the desk.
Try pressing Ctrl + S and you should then be asked where you want to save the document to - choose the Desktop option and hopefully it'll be 'simples' in future!

Bingo, I love that railway journey too. Absolutley beautiful even in the rain.
Tobermory (Balamory) on the isle of Mull is great too. When we went there was a choclate factory at one end of the road and a distillery at the other! Heaven!!
Wonder if CLP might partake of a little very special whiskey tonight as it's Burn's Night an' all

Post Script: I still feel the need to complain about a particular blogger on this blog. I did not want to name names, but I feel as the yet named blogger's ridiculas blogs continue, I feel I have no option but most strongly that the day for me naming this individual is drawing most closer.

I may be wrong and this is a new antagonist but it could be either of them.

AliB - makes my blood boil when I hear about stuff like that - it really does. They need smacking round the head with that fire extinguisher. Have a good contact if any of the damaged glass was of the stained variety. Let me know on fb if help needed there.
Anyone heard of the Monmouthshire Cert of Education? Going way back here - but got distinction in art!! (and English and needlework) I can see now where my career went wrong!!!
See we are still awaiting completion of a couple of stories from folk....
CSN dog never done that before - the odd tissue or envelope but never the basket tipped over and contents spread everywhere! Must have been bored.

Totally knackered tonight, I had a very productive day at work which feels good. Meeting targets and objectives...hey get me!
I love my job.
How do you know though, if you still love someone? How can you tell the difference between 'love' and 'like'?
Any clues?

Missed the MMM quote.. Beez..fb me too pls and fill me in!
Annie..so sorry you are feeling poorly.. big hug to feel better soon.. and of course that goes to other poorly peeps too.. xxx
Debbie..imho, if you cant wait to get home to them at night or if you think about them during the day or if you cant imagine them not being in your life then i think thats love. Although it expresses itself in different ways for different people. Having been thro a love/like break up i can only give my opinion tho. Email me on fb if you want a chat sometime.. x
Evening everyone else.. off to eat bangers,mash,asparagus and onion gravy (well when ive cooked it that is!) and watch Shaun..

Even if you disagree with people on the blog, why would you get that nasty. Maybe MMM got a screw loose in his brain. He only blogs once a week, at about the same time of night. I reply to him, but he never answers me. maybe thats because i'm a new blogger and he doesn't know me.

Glad you are enjoying the writing Chris, keep at it and you'll be a bestseller with book number two before you know it. I for one can't wait to purchase it.
Thanks for all the kind words about the break in at church. Spent most of the afternoon sorting things out, fortunately the window broken wasn't of the stained glass variety, just a plain old loo window! But thanks for the offer Beez xx
Debbie, I am sure there are more qualified than me to answer your question, good luck.
I turned the first cog in my wheel of change today! Spoke to one of my bosses about my thoughts and he was very supportive. He is off on sabbatical at the end of the year, so my "little project" will hopefully coincide with that. Just got two other bosses to get behind me now.
Just had a lovely tea, going to get an early bath, then a chat with my bestest friend and then Hustle.
Have a good evening everyone
