food-drink links
Quiet day in the pie shop yesterday, hence the re-launch of the blog. It's been a hard 4 months but not much to report other than the production and demolition of a few thousand pies.
During a particularly boring conversation the other day, I realised that not only was I not listening anymore, but that my responses were not proper words... merely noises intended to sound like I was listening. In order to alleviate my boredom further I decided to see how few real words I could use for the rest of the day and resorted to grunts, hmms, aaahs and aye appens.
My love of comedy and music then combined to remind be of Alexie Sayles appearance on "The Young Ones" with the immortal track "Stupid Noises". Of course I could not remember the lyrics and had to find the track on Youtube and that was it. Been singing it ever since.
Sooooo, the blog. This all made me realise that I had maybe given up the blog a bit too lightly and could get away with a few short posts to keep the interest going. I had noticed that my facebook post count was going through the roof as I experienced (can't say watched as I didn't) the Olympics with my friends on-line. I'd made a mental note to re-start the blog once I felt I was overdoing the FB anyway, as that amount of posts must surely mean a return of some creativity.
A lot of my postings on there were very raw ideas, set down in order to store them for later editing or re-working into other posts. I note the blog is still getting plenty of hits and the other day I googled for "Wigan Kebab" and my previous post came up number one, so it must be getting some attention, if only from the bots. There are 53 partial post saved as drafts and I aim to release some of them soon.
Problem has been that I am unable to work enough comedy or interesting links into them due to being exhausted. The idea now, let em go and hope the flow of creative juices increases.
So, thanks again to The Balowski family for all the laughs... sing along if you like.
