Cabin Fever

The pre-op assessment took place last Tuesday and I am now awaiting an appointment. In the meantime I have not been able to go out on the bike because of inclement weather, and I am envious of my fellow outdoor bloggers who are up to all sorts of interesting escapades.

I have been pressing on with the new book which is a collection of reminiscences under various headings.

The Headings so far are:

Youth

Fear

Getting  Lost

Trespassing

Encounters

Heroes

Epics

Memorable Happenings

So far: 15,000 words and 60 pages (with photos)

_________________________________________

Whilst watching television during the evening I have been making a list of frequently used clichés and the like which irritate me - if anybody wants to make suggestions I will consider them for addition to the list.

The word “amazing”

Well oiled machine

Feeding frenzy

Massive (heart attack) - it would seem that the media reckons nobody has an ordinary heart attack - it is always “massive”

Journey - Here I mean celbs who may be talking about a film they have made, or a spell in rehab, or the trauma of a recent divorce etc., where they relate to having been on a ”journey” preceded by the appropriate adjective -”wonderful, “lonely”, “amazing” etc.

Age old

Unique micro climate - wherever anybody lives they always say that they have one of these.


I hope the title of this post doesn't qualify for the list.
