I have recently, through this blog, had some lovely correspondence from all sorts of faceless strangers from around the globe.
Imagine I got all this mail in my actual letterbox every day.
Would I respond to it all?
Probably not.
I enjoy writing letters very much but I think I'd get lazy.
At the moment I regularly write to the unborn child of a friend of mine - proper letters written with a pen.
This may seem like a strange thing to do, but I think if I grew up with written evidence that nice people with good intentions were thinking about me before I squigggled into this world then I might be a happier person.
Which is not to say I'm not happy.
I'm just a sap when it comes to these things.
Today we're all ording pizza for lunch.
I don't really want to be a part of it but it's a new workplace and I feel I may be oestracised if I don't participate.
Hopefully I wont be asked to join the touch football team.
I don't even know what touch football is!
What do you touch?!!!
If it involved a team of girls in bikinis I'd certainly be a little more interested.
I'd be quite prepared to touch anything I was asked to.
That might be one of the cutest drawn kittens I've ever seen...
ReplyDeleteI think the letters are a wonderful idea! My parents kept a joint diary when I was first born about their experiences with becoming new parents. I loved reading it... and rereading it. It made me see my parents and myself in a different light.
You'll probably find the kitten has been stolen from the works of Chuck Jones.
ReplyDeleteSpecifically a cartoon about a flying kitten.
I meant to mention that at the end of the blog but I forgot.
I don't pinch these things on purpose...
I think that's sweet (the writing; not the touching) Hope your cold is all gone! I don't get your drawing for this entry? Is it just random and unrelated? I love the internet! I love talking to all sorts of people :-)
ReplyDeleteSirius - Thanks for your insight into rugby.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what you're talking about, but it's best not to persist with these things.
I don't enjoy much sport (much to the dissapointment of my father, the Glaswegian).
Ann - drawing is unrelated. Often they are.
I like to post a picture AND some text but sometimes I can't think of anything to draw about, so I just draw whatever I want and type something unrelated.
Sar - Most of the doodles on this blog are 600 pixels by 450.
With the exception of a few at the beginning of the blog (back in March) they are all digital images drawn with my wacom tablet in a program called Painter.
Sirius - You will be the first person I turn to if I am in a jam.
ReplyDeleteNFlounderings - Link away. Nice to have you here.
Hello, it's my first visit to your interesting and funny blog. That child will treasure the letters you're writing. What a great thing to do!
ReplyDeletePizza is my fav food, so I'd be happily joining in on that lunch.
I enjoyed your blog. Visit mine whenever you need a laugh.
Jamie - Nice to have you here.
