A Quick Chat
Aside
Some time ago it was pointed out to me that in early posts it was difficult to distinguish the past from the present and # 1 son suggested I had two headings : ‘Story contd,’ and ‘Asides.’ Just lately people have been brave enough to peruse the archives so I am now making sure that at least each episode of the story of my Imperfect Past is labelled ‘Story contd.’ For non-techie me it is quite a laborious job and I have done about five months and hope to complete it shortly. Just discovered there is another four months to do, so shortly will be more longly.
I have now got my story - up to date – on one document, and my step-son has shown me how to put it on a USB memory stick instead of faffing around burning CD’s. Any comments welcomed. That was a good happening. A less good one was when the glass dropped out of my delicate specs – for no particular reason other than I dropped them. They are now altogether again but at present I’m wearing my # 2 pair and # 3 in the garden. (So please ‘scuse errors)
Yesterday I received my copy of ‘You’re not the only one’ compiled by Sarah Peach. I am trying to save it for my holiday but have started it already and – of course – made sure my own offering was there. It will be a comfort to have something absorbing if the weather is foul. So on Friday we are off to
See you all when I get back and please don’t run away.

Congrats on being the book and on getting your biography together. I Best wishes for a restful holiday, I truly hope all goes well this time.
Look forward to reading you when you get back.
Good to hear you're making headway. BTW, your garden looks like a truly relaxing place, especially with a gin and tonic in the summer.
Cheers.
part of the fun of reading your story was discovering that i didn't have to wait days for the next instalment until I got to the present of course.
The terrific thing about the blog book of course is that you can put it down and come back to it again.
Have a lovely time in Dorset and of course I'll still be here x
Have a marvellous time; I hope the weather is better in Dorset than it is here.
Have a lovely holiday and don't worry, I can't see any of us running away when we're eager for the next instalment
I've just threatened Spanish Goth with your wrath. Back me up Mum2!
Anna: thank you for your kind wishes.
Randall: you're right. I like to think of it as a pleasure garden.
Mei del: I'm glad you are sticking around and enjoy the story. Hope you didn't find the past and the present confusing.
Eryl: we have had surprisingly good days recently - without any warning which makes one feel cheated. There's a small lake and i just want to sit and look at it.
Sandy: oh while you're waiting could you water the pots please?
JohnG: there there! I've done it. Be good whilst I'm away.
Exciting that you are really getting it all together, my dear Pat. Your #1 son's duggestion is a good one. It took me a while to figure out what was what, and so this will help enormously!
I cannot find PEACH over on your Sidebar...amd I stupid, or what?
I hope you have a GLORIOUS time in The Cottage...I will be thinking of you relaxing and enjoying all there is enjoy there....! (Except a week from Friday...(27th) That's my Birthday....And I am having a Ladies Who Lunch that day....!
Oh Dear....HELP ME! LOL! I finally realized it is in your Blogroll!!!
THAT was not clear to me either...lol! What can I tell you, my dear....The years seem to be cacyching up with my logic!
Nnaomi: sorry about that. I tend to call it side bar as blog roll sounds like the bathroom - delicate little flower that I am:)
I'll think about you next Friday - eating chocolate cake with the Ladies. In case I forget - you know what I'm like - a very Happy Birthday to you and a happy healthy year. At last you have caught up with me, until next March:)
So are there more "Asides" or "Story contd"? Another safety trick with an important document is to email it to yourself ( I speak as someone often on the road).
Then its stored in the email archive as well.
Rashbre: interesting question. In actual content I'm not sure. The story is 110,000 words plus but, I do more 'asides'. As I am just about to leave I shall have to leave the question dangling.
Thanks for the useful trick:)
Oh right. I finally start reading blogs again, and you go off! Thank you very much.
I nominated you for a blogging "Sharing the Love" award on my blog today. Love your posts.
We'd never run away!
Good to hear it's all coming together, Pat, hun!
Enjoy yourselves in Dorset. I hope YTL is recovered enough to have a really good time and that you can relax and enjoy it to the full.
See ya when you get back. We're just back from our's - just a few days but the huge pile of washing we managed to accumulate is still not all laundered and put away yet.
tlp: grumble, grumble, grumble - there's just no pleasing some folks:)
Sheri: thank you - I'm honoured. I have to wait for a grand-child to do it for me.
Kath:xoxox
Sam: we really chilled and have almost finished the laundry. Will be round soon to catch up.
