Dear Everyone,
I know dis gon sound weird but!
Every morning...
...every single blessed, gracious morning, me and my mother got a tradition going. We call up each other to see how the other is doing. Just a li'l half hour talk.
I call cos she does worry about how I do, being mostly alone here. I call cos, as she say, "I love to hear your voice." (Not that I am that special of all she children...she love to hear all o' their voices). I call cos it make she happy.
I does have to tell she every scrap of news going on here. Sometimes, she reminisce about the old days. Sometimes, she give me tons of advice.
One day I say, "Mummy, how about if I start a blog for you and you write down all them things you tell me?"
She say, "Suppose I tell you and you write it down."
So...that is what ah doing now. Ah putting into a series of book my experiences with my mother, the stories she tell me too. I don't want it to be like typical novel-book though. I want it to have the chatty, casual feel of conversations.
I better go pick up my clothes in the verandah, I see a bird landing on one line!!!
Splendid idea. If she is like my Mum every now and then she will draw the line - "I don't think you should be asking that Pat!" Good luck my dear.
ReplyDeletePat, I know the line :-D I'm such an old-fashioned girl :-D
DeleteReally looking forward to reading it 😀
ReplyDeleteZ, my writing mojo went for a ride without me and left me with apathy. I don't know if it's the madness taking place here in Guyana, and worrying about what will happen to us [sad face sad, unhappy face].
DeleteHi there cheeky gyal! Sounds like a good idea to me,
ReplyDeleteWhy does your comment box have such yeensy weensy text? I cannot see what the heck I be typing, my glasses am not microscopics!
Keith, I don't know how to make the writing in this comment box bigger!!
Delete:-(
Looking forward to it :)
ReplyDeleteKim, if I only knew where my writing mojo's gone, I'd be writing merrily. I think I'm too worried about what's going on here. I wish I knew how to find it again.
DeleteThat is very readable, keep going!
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
DeleteGood morning, how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because through them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are very small countries with very few population, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this, I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Guyana? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Guyana in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally, I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
Emilio, I hope someone sees your address here and send you a letter.
