I HAVE to restrain myself….I have a very short space of time in which to submit my masters thesis….10,000 words minimum by the end of August.  I have done about 2,400 at last count……

I work full-time in a challenging role so no time to do it during work hours.  I am confined to evenings and weekends and there ain’t many left!!! It’s ok, it will happen and I am not complaining, it’s actually quite interesting…

I just can’t throw myself in to blogging on this site and making my blog look all gorgeous and interesting just yet.  The blogging bit isn’t too hard, as I’ve been blogging for years, but the technicalities of the site are a very new challenge for me – a very exciting one I have to say.  I also feel that I will be able to blog about a much wider range of topics here than where I was before and I have SO many ideas!!! 

 I don’t think I’ve felt this inspired to take up something new since, ooooh, the last time I took up something new (I expect I will blog about my hobbies at some point).

I just have to resist the urge to get too caught up in it all for a couple more weeks or I am not going to give this thesis my all….

It’s a bit like getting a birthday present early and being told you can’t unwrap it until the actual day!

Something to look forward to!!!!

Post a Week!

I’m new here….I signed up some time back in May but have only just taken any notice of what I signed up to.  I am an avid blogger, or was, on another site but I need a new outlet.  Just found this ‘Post a Day/Week thing so it seems a good plan to sign up for it….I’m going to start slow and commit to a weekly post but I might do more.  I need to find my feet here but I have plenty of ideas just waiting to spill out….

I still don’t quite know my way round here but I’m learning all the time

I hope you will read and support me and help me to be part of this wonderful blogging community

It’s like living in Woburn Safari Park where I am at the moment….

Woken at half five this morning by a wailing cat.  Well, to be strictly accurate, woken by dog barking at wailing cat.  This went on for about ten minutes and, just as peace was restored, the flock of geese, that daily pass over the house at this time, came honking along.   Somewhere amongst it all I heard a seagull too I think….

JUST managed to get off to sleep again in time for the alarm to go off, accompanied by a distressed magpie, chattering loudly on a tree just outside the bedroom.

This is a regular early morning occurrence in this household during the summer months.

In winter we have polar bears and arctic foxes

(Ok, I made that bit up)

Don’t do that – do THIS!

How amazingly easy it is to put off doing things you don’t want to do……

Right now I should be knee-deep in books and lap tops and things, writing up a dissertation that is due in at the end of this month. 10,000 or more words…..I’ve just about squeezed out 2,000 words of utter garbage.

Yet, here I am. On a blog site. Tinkering with my blog space, having a look around and generally feeling incredibly motivated to be the world’s top blogger by Christmas…..

I’d like to say I work best under pressure. Actually, I HAVE to say that. Because I know damn well I will be in a week’s time!!!

Ah me……

This time next month it will all be over. I will be free again

Expect lots of posts over the coming weeks……

My Debut……

For several years I have been blogging on another site.  I won’t say where – it doesn’t matter.  It’s been fun and it’s been interesting.  But it is time to move on and blog elsewhere.  I want to take this more seriously……

So, here I am, on WordPress, enjoying the challenge of learning how to make my blog appear visually interesting as well as filling it with,  hopefully, interesting topics.

Bear with me, I do not have much time at the moment.  I need to tidy up some loose ends before I can throw myself into blogging again.

But I will do…..

Watch this (ever evolving) space
