Yeah, right... be careful what you click. I happily did the mouse trick a couple of times today and accidentally deleted stuff. "Gimme that back!" "Too late!" "But I need it!" "Be more careful next time!" Bleh. You know those little 'are you sure' windows? I need about ten of those. Myr went to a lot of trouble to sort out my 'skin' prob with the posted story on eFiction. He fixed chapter one and told me how to fix the rest. Click! *Poof* Gone!

My housemate and his missus will travel to England in early August to see rellos, so on his shopping list was a farting keyring. It doesn't even sound like a fart! But he wants to do the fart thing on board the airplane. Hmmm. Small things... Now you understand why these guys are in my care.

I made fish cakes today, with tuna and the usual onion, egg, herbs, butter, mash potato, grated lemon rind and whatever. Mmmmm! Cooking was never a big deal until I became a carer for these two... now I cook every day, and have developed an interest in the culinary arts. It's fun! Hey, Peking Duck is outta my league, but I'm into tasty and interesting recipes provided they ain't TOO complicated. And I've learned a lot. Trust me, knowing how to cook is a big plus. Even my dog agrees...right Kelly? "Woof!"

Why am I telling you all this? It keeps my fingers nimble. I'm a chatterbox...an incorrigible one. My mom told me as a kid that if I didn't stop talking I'd run outta voice. Oh? It didn't stop me. The thing I love most about a blank page is that it cries out to be filled, and forces you to THINK. One sentence leads to another, and another and so on, and before you know it you're espousing profundities that would otherwise have never occurred to you! Whoa! Did I say that?

I don't think I'd be into writing as much as I am if I were restricted to the hammer, chisel and rock thing. I'm sure those guys didn't bother with fish cake recipes considering the labor involved. But this whole computer/internet thing has revolutionized literary communication. I might be a fossil but I've embraced this new technology with uninhibited enthusiasm.

Should I shuddup now? Okay. Bye.
