First Thoughts for Lent

I have hummed and ha'd about getting started with a blog post since last September; so long ago now, that I have all but forgotten what Kath Fackerell so patiently showed me to get me over the technophobia.

I have mentioned my possible dyslexia, in order to excuse my dreadful spelling, which is yet another reason for procrastination. I am 61, way to old to have ever been diagnosed as a child, but I have a dyslexic daughter and many obvious symptoms but not bad enough to have prevented me from working as a Senior Secretary or PA in an engineering company for over 17 years. I'm good with a dictionary, and it is amazing how resourceful one can be. The advent of 'spell checkers' changed my life!

Anyway, Lent fast approaches - three day's time and I am setting myself the challenge of getting my blog underway by working on it for at least an hour every day. Part of it may be as a diary of my thoughts and part of it may be as part of my family history project. I already have some of that prepared which I used as my first talk at Oswestry Speakers' Group now renamed Speakers' Corner: highly recommended to anyone living in the vicinity of Oswestry.

Well that makes a start. Now let's see if I can work out how to publicise it.
