To my lovely Subscribers..You may want to disable email notifications..if you have them

Hey. Thought I’d give you gorgeous peeps a Heads Up. I’m keen to up my content, but I feel it may just bore most of you rigid.

Simply observations and daily thoughts, which will probably be of no interest 🤔 . I need the practice. 

WordPress Press School beckons and as the kids everywhere will all be back to studies soon, it’s probably a good time to join them.

As you will have gathered, tech isn’t my strong point. What I would give to be up there with the computer sciences. It’s not going to happen. But I can give it a go.

Consider yourselves warned 😆

New kid on the block, not kid per se. Obvs.

Which activities make you lose track of time?

This is my 166th day streak with this new blog and enjoying the Daily Prompt.

Yes, I had been warned by fellow bloggers that the topics do get repeated, but I didn’t expect it to be this fast!

Please tell me, haven’t we been asked to tell how we lose ourselves to time, in the recent past? Do tell.

Today’s pic has nothing to do with the written words here..but I like it!

Anyways, at the risk of repeating myself, I will say playing games on my tablet like Redecor, Zen Word, and Woodle Screw keep me very quiet for a very long time. I do have a life, honest …

If you aren’t paying for a service, you are the service, they say.

How do you unwind after a demanding day?

I am very grateful to Matt Mullenweg and his co-founder Mike Little for this space they have given us for free. ( Yep, we can pay for premium) Allowing us to say/write what we want when we want. I don’t know who originally coined the phrase ‘ if you’re not the service/product……….’ Several claim it was their thought first off. Tristan Harris and Andrew Lewis have both had their names attached to it. But here in this tiny corner it isn’t the case is it? They really do let us have it for free. No strings. Thank you, Sirs.

Today, if I may, I’d like to address the department which is Daily Prompt. Being a relative newbie here I am not noticing any repeats, but many of the other guys mention it from time to time. I think I could handle a couple of them as there is always something left unsaid, or another angle to come from. But already I digress, that’s not what I initially wanted to say.

So, today you are asking how do we all unwind after a demanding day. Thing is I have now got off the treadmill and escaped that rat race. So, unwinding is second nature. Something I have perfected to the extreme, you could say. Zen it is.

But actually it’s not about me ( for a change) I write about today….but the folk who love to come here to write who are physically, mentally or emotionally unable to partake in a demanding day. And now how ridiculous that sounds as the words leave my head and I look at them in print! Life for those with challenges are almost by definition demanding, aren’t that? Silly me!

What I am trying to say and not very well is how much thought goes into the Daily Prompts, you generously supply us with each morning. How hard do you consider the bigger picture? Sometimes you ask about family or parents, what if some of the folk here don’t have any, what if someone doesn’t have a demanding day, not for the want of trying, but they just can’t. There are lots of prompts/scenarios that don’t resonate, simply don’t evoke anything at all?

And here is where you emphasize they are prompts not briefs….I really am not complaining WordPress, as I said I’m having fun here, I just look at that bigger picture and wonder how folk are going to answer…..and that’s the point, I guess. Mmmm.

For the record listening to rainfall on an app is the ultimate way for me to chill……which is a bit strange really, as extreme weather is something I fear.

I would be truly amazed if anyone has actually read to the end here. If you have, I thank you for taking the time out today. Have yourselves a safe and pleasant day. Best wishes All xxx
