30 April
2013
Well, just
look at that date! It's the end of April
already. Where on earth is all the time
going? No wonder I'm feeling knackered
;-)))
We writers
are always being told to produce manuscripts that are as near faultless as we
can. In today's post there's my copy of Writing Magazine. I shall be going through it with my red pen
to hand this time. Why? I'm currently reading James Herbert's Ash, and a cracking story it is too,
well worth buying guys n gals. Anyway,
as I've read it I've found quite a few errors in it, missing words mainly, a
few items where upper case should have been used and so on. So the question arises, is it just the lesser
or unknown writer who has to be spot on with their work? Herbert isn't the only writer I've found
errors creeping into work; Tom Clancy - especially now he's writing with a
co-writer; Peter James; Ian Rankin; Michael Connelly, and a lot more too. It makes me wonder if having been a
successful writer they stop really caring.
I hope not!
Both Jan and
I have Motability cars. This allows us
to go off and do what we want. Normally
we go together for birding and photography but tomorrow is an example of where
us having our own cars really helps. Jan
is driving down to Ringwood in Hampshire for the day to see her sister. I'm not really one for visiting people like
that so while Jan is off tomorrow I shall take the opportunity to drive to Brum
for a few hours to do a bit snapping with my camera. Sunday's is another day when I go off while
Jan is at church. See, it does
help. The thing is ...
Motability
who supplies the cars, is a charity.
Every three months are so they send out a magazine called
Lifestyle. It's an interesting read too. But do we really need a copy each? Surely it can be sorted so that where there are
agreements in place at one address in the same surname, they can sort it out
that only one magazine is sent out. I
even used to get it when I had my scooter on the scheme. Motability is not the only who could save
cash by trying up addresses. We are
members of Warwickshire Wild Life Trust; we are also members of Norfolk
Wildlife Trust and at one time we were members of Lancashire Wildlife trust. We used to get copies of each of their
magazines come through the post. But
each trust is linked to the National Wildlife Trust. So as well as each individual county mag we
also got a copy of the national mag too.
Two copies of one mag is really daft, three copies is plainly stupid!
So now I
have to find another photo ...
shoots on a tree at Attenborough. The tree itself has been heavily cut back,
right down to about a foot above ground level.
If the intention was to kill the three, it clearly hasn't worked!
And a funny
for today ...
It has
recently been discovered that the most common sexual position for married
couples is the Doggie. This is where the husband sits up and begs, whilst the
wife rolls over and plays dead.
