All sorts.

Finally got back to writing. I had intended to add something everyday but have found this really does not work for me. If the mood to write takes me then I am taken. Friday bought over a thousand words to the current project which were made very welcome by the empty page.
It is now Monday and I am waiting patiently for my next surge of inspiration.
Saturday was and went without issue.
This was due to anticipation of Sundays major local event.
This being the first ever Ipswich Gay Pride.
As I am hetrosexual and have no inclination toward homophobia there was no other reason to attend other than spending the afternoon relaxing while listening to free live music. The high lights being a young soloist called Lisa Ambrose who performed a fine acoustic set. The other acts were fine were what they did and I am quite sure other folk enjoyed them even if I did not.
Observations on the day: According to the events programme there are roughly 35,000 gay, lesbian, bi-sexual or trans-gender people in Suffolk. I estimate there were about 2,000 people in attendance although many drifted in and out as the day progressed. This in itself seems a shame to me. This is the third free music event I have been to in Ipswich and this was easily the most poorly attended. Was this due to homophobia, the weather, or just general apathy? Either way I felt it was a shame for the performers and organisers. Never mind. There is always next year. Must sign off now as my ever dependable Karen is looking at the online press report and is telling me we have our picture in the Ipswich Evening Star. Whooh hooh!!!!!!

  2. At the moment I am writing my first novel which is best described as a cauldron of erratic thoughts and meanderings which are leading to, hopefully, a mix which will make sense of a life!
    This probably does not help much but that is the best synopsis I can offer at the moment......
    Thanks for taking an interest.
