Many years ago
(thirty-two, to be precise), whist working as a general skivvy
in the Harbour restaurant in Hastings I tried to impress the
waitresses by carrying far too many plates to the washing up. I
impressed no one and only succeeded in putting my back out.
Periodically that old injury plays up. This morning was one such
instance. I could barely move; it was so painful.
I was determined not to
let my iffy back stop me, so once "Daddies Little Angel TM"
arrived we took the dogs round the park. "Daddies Little
Angel TM" took both dogs and I hobbled
along behind with my walking stick. Once home I had this plan to get
some shopping. It took me ten minutes to get in and out of the car,
and whilst in Tesco's I used the trolley as a crutch. We got
shopping, came home, and then I gave up. My back was so bad that I
realised that I had to give up; I had no choice in the matter. I sat
myself in front of the computer and didn't move again. I proof-read a
hundred pages of book and played "Worms" on Facebook
for the rest of the day.
Let's hope the back gets
better soon...
Meanwhile this blog has
been nominated for an award. The Liebster Awards are given to
bloggers who have less than two hundred followers, and are given as a
way to increase readership in the blogsphere. I've been blogging
regularly since September 2006. Two thousand three hundred and
something daily reports. When I started blogging a lot of my close
friends were regularly blogging. Since then, for a lot of people the
regularity has dropped off. On the right hand side of this page is a
list of the most recently updated blogs that I follow. Of a list of
over fifty blogs less than ten seem still to be active, which is a
great shame. I've very much a nosey beggar. I wish more people would
witter on like I do. Liebster awards seem to be a way to encourage
blogging.
The rules say that when
you get nominated you have to nominate eleven more blogs. So here's
my nominations:
Sue's
Blog - Some Assembly Required (who recommended me)
And
I can't really recommend any more as no one else seems to blog any
more. Which is a shame... Go on - blog again and I'll nominate
you...
