I was tired of staring into space, my hands were restless and needed something to do. They were also far too clean – where were the ink stains and tacky bits of glue? And so, I picked up my nibs and tried to write again….
And lo, I managed to write 50 words without referring to my toothache, or embedding a weird video about asbestos…. things were definitely moving in the right direction, until……
Until…what who?why? We NEED to know.
Oh-wait! I know!.Please, Miss,I know.(waves hand in air…)
Wordpress buggered it all to Kingdom come[auto-correct suggests came].
I feel your pain.

My “good” memory is very deceptive. I can remember no end of very specific, arcane, and “useless” information (and a lot of blog stuff), but “important” things, news, TV programmes/films, books I’ve just seen/read, conversations with people, all seem to disappear into the ether before they make any impression on my memory…

This “holiday” has been one thing after another – enough to keep me away from the blog, anyway.
I’m very happy to see a Ms Scarlet post on my return, though. Very happy indeed. Even though it is a cliff hanger. The “Until…” wasn’t: “my dentist rang to say their practice is now asbestos-free so I can come in for a check-up” was it?
P.S. Lovely writing. I particularly like the little “beads” threaded onto the flourishes.
