By: Blonde Two
Did you know that since Two Blondes started in October 2012, we have published 1347 blogs posts? At around 300 words each, my Blonde calculations put that at (pause for calculator) around 404,000 words. You all deserve prizes for reading that number of posts (obviously we have won prizes for writing them!)
People often ask me, “How do you think of something to write about every day?” Usually the answer is easy; either I have been outdoors doing something interesting anyway, or the need to write a post has driven me outdoors to find something interesting to do. Either way, it is pursuit that leads to bodily and brain health (I would recommend it).
I can honestly say that today is the first day that I can ever remember having a bit of a Blonde-Blog-Blockage! So I thought I would hand things over to you. Below is my planned day and a few options for posts; all suggestions welcome!
- I will wake up (yes, I can now blog in my sleep) at 6.30 and gaze from my bed at a NZ garden.
- I will breakfast in my pyjamas with Norm.
- I will don the jumpsuit of pinkness.
- I will startle the plumber in the jumpsuit of pinkness.
- I will hitch up the trailer and clear some more bits of tree out of the paddocks.
- I will say ‘hello’ to the cows.
- I may bonfire but it looks like rain.
- I will assist Norm in the creation of a ‘Christmas Dinner’.
- I will chat to friends and consume said ‘Christmas Dinner’.
- I will go to bed and await inspiration from you!
And in your dreams, Norm will be wearing the pink, the plumber will be stuffing bits of tree up the pipes, you will harness the cows to the trailer and the lightning will scare them stiff as it sets the Christmas dinner on fire, whereupon the cows will arrive at full speed in the dining room and sit down with you to table. A pink Norm will serve up the cinders from a boat, the blocked pipes having flooded the room, and all the guests will suspend themselves from the ceiling. A good time will be had by all.
You will both be pleased to know that by the magic of time-travel (or is that time-zones?) it is now morning and I have survived all of the above, slept without the odd dreams and found blog inspiration just from being outside. Phew!!
1. 6.30 too early. Make it another hour.
2. Doesn’t N have his own PJs?
3. Better than the pink suit of jumpiness.
4. Plumber has seen it and much worse before.
5. Better that the pee out of the traddocks!
6. Don’t ‘Hello’. Much better to simply ‘low’ – they’ll low back anyway!
7. Don’t waste the matches!
8.It’s nearer to Michaelmas than Christmas. (Look it up!)
9. Chatting and consuming are good. What language?
10. Sorry not more inspiring than this!
Love to all. B2’s GM
I always say hello to cows and usually have a bit more of a chat.
Me too – I have made the mistake of giving some of this lot names. Luckily I won’t be here when they get sent to market!
