A Little Secret

Robert W. posted an article on - May 9, 2010, 7:42 am
It may come as a surprise to learn that I have been blogging on a near daily basis since the beginning of March. Yet it is true. I started a writing class in early March and have been writing daily since then, and keeping these writings on a hidden blog. I think though it is time for some of tho...

Spring...

Robert W. posted an article on - Mar 19, 2010, 5:05 pm
Spring is finally upon us, and with it warmer weather and a return to the outdoors, albeit a cautious one at this stage. Cold days are still common enough that you need to be careful. But it is nice to see nature stirring again. Even in the heart of London things are buzzing, scuttling, crawling o...

Rats

Robert W. posted an article on - Jan 5, 2010, 3:57 pm
Literally... I knew there must be a rat problem around this area as there are two chemical rat traps in the foyer of our flat and also in the living room of our unit. This evening as I was trying to get the front door open I heard a rustling sound down at the basement level next to ours - on closer ...

Thoughts on Racism, and Changing a Mindset

Robert W. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I read a very interesting, and painfully honest post on a blog I follow this morning, which I think is worthy of a greater airing. I was surprised to read of a childhood in America that was in many ways not dissimilar to my own childhood in South Africa, when it comes to attitude towards race, tow...

New Month, New Job, New Perspective

Robert W. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
The third month of 2010, can you believe it? Today I also started my new job. I finished up my contract position at the old place last Friday. Day one was lovely - surprisingly productive yet stress free - I had forgotten what a civilised workplace feels like...no shouting, no screaming, no tongue...

Tis the Season for...Tarocco...

Robert W. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Picture courtesy of Citrus Pages Ah bliss. The one upside to winter is the abundance of citrus available in the northern hemisphere and king amongst these is, in my opinion, the beautiful, elusive, tarocco, or blood orange, as it is known in English. I first met these divine little harbingers of ...

Time Travel?

Robert W. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Well, how else do you explain it. Just yesterday (it seems) we were celebrating the New Year, and now the last day of the first month of the year is already upon us. Scary how time flies. Christmas and New Year have come and gone, and so has my birthday. Now the rest of the year lies ahead. A ch...

Intuition...who knew...

Robert W. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Intuition - something my family is particularly good at. I would not go so far as to say we see the future, but we certainly anticipate it pretty well. At its lower levels, intuition is quite normal for many people - from guessing what's for dinner, to what might happen at work, to what is actual...

Ffffreezing Friday...

Robert W. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
It's official, this winter is officially the coldest on over a decade (in over 30 years according to some reports). There has not been much snow here in central London but the suburbs of London and the rest of the country has seen snow well beyond what would be considered normal for this part of th...

Quotable Quotes

Robert W. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
As a book fanatic I love this quote: Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than thi...

The Final Countdown...

Robert W. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Well, for me at any rate. One of my goals for 2010 is to complete the 12-week Body-for-LIFE Challenge. A colleague introduced me to this as she has used their exercise plan very successfully in the past. There are now 3 of us at work who have decided to take up the challenge. As the official we...

A blog about a blog about a blog...or...Thoughts about Creativity

Robert W. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
I am pointing you in the direction of a post on another blog I follow - Mental Mosaic posted up a blog entitled 'Being New Versus Being Authentic' which I found interesting. I am, still, an aspiring writer who aspires a bit more than he writes, however I remain hopeful...For me, creativity is linked...
