But at eighty-one I'm compelled to be pragmatic about time and its supposed availability. The novel at 28,000 words had finally moved ahead of an impasse but only slowly. Then I recognised something far more immediate: what causes me to twang with nervous ecstasy these days are the singing lessons - now almost a year Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14677243.post-65783485990915271042016-12-03T12:47:48.783+13:002016-12-03T12:47:48.783+13:00Kia ora Pete,

It makes the moments alive, important and of value. I find that with your actual company as well e hoa. Be safe and be well. Kia kaha. John arrives on the 17th and we wander for 5 days in the Ruahine.

It's too easy to forget that. <br /> Plenty still left to be happy about, especially here. Back to India tomorrow, and I'll try to remember those lessons if cash is still problematic. pohanginapetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463792721091291063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14677243.post-62215137347511721572016-11-27T02:02:24.257+13:002016-11-27T02:02:24.257+13:00Your photographs are about your eye more than your...Your photographs are about your eye more than your gear.
