This is an interlude-ish post because, as a newcomer to blogging, I feel a little stupid, a little ‘unwise’, a little frantic.
Sometimes the wild birds around here – wrens, pigeons, doves, crows, kookaburras, willywagtails, butcher birds – crash into our windows, fall to the ground, then pick themselves up and fly into the closest tree.
I have never forgotten how a kookaburra flew through a window into the kitchen, then out the back door. The window, by the way, was closed, and the impact shattered it. I remember screaming with shock and fright and the poor kookaburra must have been terrified until it made its escape.
Too-muchness is what happens when you are over-engulfed with feelings, thoughts and words that might be better kept to yourself. The realm of the blog, however, allows you to indulge yourself because, to some extent, you have a captive audience.
WordPress is amazing, but it is also a bit incestuous; i.e, you like my blog, I like yours and vice versa. I have only clicked ‘like’ when I have liked and I have only commented when I wanted to. The statistical information has been gratifying but also confusing and probably misleading; certainly it is distracting!
This is my third post for today which, apparently, is not the done thing, but I cannot seem to stop writing, having written nothing substantial for many years. I have taken the advice of more experienced bloggers and decided to just post one story per day from now on – well, maybe two!

That’s quite a stunning last line. I’m sorry about your husband and son.
A moment of intense self-pity – sorry about that!
We are all entitled to them occasionally.
Not sure why I did it so publically – how embarrassing – oh well!
I believe in posting whatever and whenever one feels moved to do so. Everyone (or no one) can read it & if inclined to do so, can ‘like’ or ‘comment’. It’s an expression of what you feel or see at any given moment in time.
I’m sorry to hear about your husband (and son).
Life deals out some harsh realities.
But amongst those realities, there are blessings too.
For every negative, there is a positive.
You are right!
I think you should blog whenever you want. It is Your blog, after all 🙂
Haha! In that case, here comes another post….
