Day twenty two of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. Could it be viable if I had to use only my left hand? Quite often I have found, while trying to avoid using my right hand, I have left it hanging limply by my side like a hunk of meat. Being handed does not mean that … Continue reading Viable
Religion
Day eighteen of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ and I’m straying into unknown territory. I would not regard myself as a religious person but I have already done that bit. I have very little knowledge of any of the religious texts yet it was a book by AJ Jacobs called ‘The year of living biblically’ … Continue reading Religion
Quantum
Day seventeen of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. The letter Q is always one of those difficult ones. What words in the English language could I use to convey something about handedness that begins with a Q? Quixotic perhaps but queer is definitely a not. What about Quidditch? Maybe I could weave some clever reference … Continue reading Quantum
Laces
Day eleven of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ and I have picked on one subject that merits its own blog – trying to tie your laces. I thought my tie was bad enough but I’m starting to master that yet laces are in their own league. There’s a problem in that recently I’ve learnt that … Continue reading Laces
Kitchen
Day eleven of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ For me the kitchen is a room of mixed blessings. It is a utilitarian place where food is prepared yet it is the heart of the home. The bedroom, the sitting room and the kitchen are the holy trinity of the house. I must spend ninety per … Continue reading Kitchen
Judgmental
Day ten of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. Saturday’s blog is always the hardest. I would normally only write my blog on work days and have the weekend off. Writing six blogs in a week takes that extra bit of effort, a twenty per cent productivity gain. April is also the month in which Easter … Continue reading Judgmental
Instinct
Day nine of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. I’m now at number 990 and thinking about instinct. How much of what we do is instinctive? How much of what we think we think about before doing is a patterned behaviour which has been laid down across the millennia of human history? How many of the … Continue reading Instinct
Handy
Day eight of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ and I’ve discovered that another member of my team is left handed. Stop the press! I never knew. Tony does everything with his left hand except play the cornet while Paul, the only left hander I thought I had, does everything with his right except write. I … Continue reading Handy
Getting dressed
Day seven of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ and I’m getting down to some specifics. Getting dressed threw up some interesting challenges. Most of the clothes I put on didn’t present a problem though. Things such as socks, underpants and trousers require two hands any way and so handedness isn’t an issue. Belts and ties … Continue reading Getting dressed
Failure
Day six of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ and I’m now at number 1030 on the list of contributors. Some must have fallen by the wayside. It’s nice to be part of the blogging community. I’ve been thinking about those things I have failed to do. Failure is a harsh word. Choosing to try something … Continue reading Failure
