Hi
Time ticks on.
Now only six days to estimated date of arrivalof Baby Bean. A Saturday's child, and so if the old adage is to be believed, will have to work hard for its living. But perhaps it may surprise everyone and come either side of the given date and in consequence, be , like me 'loving and giving' or even'blithe and gay'. You can check out this site to discover yourown nature!!!!!
Have been sent very silly book by well-meaning friend, which, however, has one sensible message related to the the way in which women who have been up-to- the moment of granny-dom, reasonably entertaining, can become extremely boring and itrritating to friends. This then is another good reason for keeping up this BLOG- an outlet for the blagging on about GC which would render me a social outcast in other spheres of my life. Thank you Louise.

Pity infact that there are already to books on the market about the state and time of being a gran- so can't hope for real life publishing opportunity. Here's the other. Clear sign of baby boomers and sixties generation moving onto new things. Will have to stick with BLOG, though as was reminded this morning that BLOGs can become books if the writer is interesting enough and that in the words of Samuel Johnson , who would himself have made a brilliant BLOGGER, suggested that what is written without effort is in general read without pleasure and BLOGGINg does seem to demand a certain degree of effort. However, Johnson also said that no man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money and it would be hard to see any income coming out of this particular BLOG though there are awards around.
To me BLOGGING seems more like the newest form of vanity publishing!
Realised that when i separated out from Letsgetdigitalplay and stopped posting as Digitalplayer, I lost the little readership I had. hey, Ho. I'll think about new tactics tomorrow.
