Blue Trees, and keeping stuff you don't need.

It is getting a little late again tonight, I made the mistake of sitting down after a busy day and as I’m sure you all know yourselves it is not easy to leap back into action to get going again. 

I am sure many of you are aware of the fact dad has always insisted that everything should be kept because as he says one day you might just need it,  today proved the point, (yet again) as we have used a long external electrical cable which has been in storage for over thirty years. Dad always said that it was a really useful thing, and to buy it today would cost loads, in fact had we had to buy it we would have not have undertaken the task of getting power to the summerhouse, but it does mean we have a glow in the dark summerhouse and  small tree . . . . WELL COOL.



I sort of mentioned I was planning on making a tree and painting it blue today but I did not complete the task. It appears making trees is slightly more complex that I thought and painting them is a longer process than I thought. Still it has been started and with luck will be completed in a few more days, although I do have other things to do and strange creatures to hunt and loads of important stuff on the go all the time.

I am slowly getting to the point where I plan to stop writing my diary on a daily basis too. This will be rather useful as I have many things to do and days are not really long enough to write everyday let alone try to draw pictures; yes I have not done that for a couple of days now but drawing is only possible when I am not doing other things. It is for example not possible to draw a picture of a huge man eating lizard when a huge man eating lizard is trying to eat you. And if you do manage to complete the drawing there is nothing more annoying than having your rather good drawing of a huge man eating lizard being eaten by a huge man eating lizard and things like this only delay the creation of blue trees.

  1. Human Rob,

    A doggy friend of my insists on keeping everything. We call him a hoarder collie. Anyway, blue trees are good and still made out of wood.

    Seriously, writing everyday makes it very difficult for your fans to keep up. Be well and do take it easy.

    Pawsitive wishes,

    Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar! :)

    1. I know posting everyday is a big ask for anyone including me. But I gave myself a goal of 1000 posts after which I was planning to chill and then stop blogging after one million words.

  2. As much as I enjoy reading your daily posts, I'd hate for you to die of exhaustion on account of your eccentric diary. I struggle to post twice a week, so I cannot comprehend how you're feeling.

    Also, if you spend a little less time posting, you might have time to flesh out a movie deal with Mr Spielberg. Just remember any likenesses to me are protected by copywrite law.

    1. I am stubborn and like to do what I originally planned to do however I may stop blogging everyday sooner than I had in mind, as in theory I still have three months to go or there abouts.

    2. Is there a timeline? A date when the diary will cease to be updated? OH GOD!

    3. Sorry I never got back to you on this but there is a timeline when daily posts will cease. There is also a end date when the blog will end and not be updated as I move on to new adventures
