Not Today, Ahab

The whale died last night :( They think it was just because he was old and his time had come. Poor whale. When they originally spotted him in the firth a few days back there was another whale with him, but that one managed to get back to deep water and lived to swim another day.

Last week, Ewan's mum brought me a couple of small notebooks and a couple of nice, thin ballpoint pens with gold trim and pretty patterns. A white one and a black one, twist-tops. Slender and shiny. Inspiring. I've set myself the challenge of filling one of the notebooks with writing. I don't think I've ever managed to fill a notebook - not for lack of writing, but because I always find new and empty pages more inspiring than starting something in the middle. These little notebooks are only a quarter the size of an A4 piece of paper, though, and not particularly thick.

We'll see.

Totally. Then I go and scribble my messy scrawl all over it and wreck it in seconds. ;o)

I start writing in books, and then I go into a stationers, and see a gorgeous new notebook, and buy it, and start to write in that one instead... I have about a dozen notebooks with things written inside. Boo.

I have a notebook I wrote in while Styles and I were apart(before we were married) if I still wrote that much...I'd have shelves full.

I already started reading that blog ^_^ I was wondering if it twas you.

:D I used the screenname on old efx to write 'general stuff' so figured I'd resurrect it, hehe.

Me, too. I wondered if it was you.

Nice Rocky Horror Picture Show reference, cherry...
