The Word Cloud

Hi, another day in ‘Word Cloud’.

I have had some encouraging notes of welcome from a few members and still find it hard to believe that we are actually allowed to be scrawling all over each other’s walls. Having a message wall and Blogging is a very to-the-moment thing and I haven’t had any experience of it before so I thought it would be a good place to start. I am still navigating, what seem to be, the echoing, deserted passageways of the writing rooms. I have suspected that some of those creaky floorboards have got trap-doors waiting to spring into action without any prior warning, I’m sure it would be a pleasant landing, in most cases anyway. The group section was a bit daunting and, I suppose, a bit sad also when I came across a few groups with only the founder member. I had visions of these solitary characters just sat, perhaps on three legged stools, in vain hope. I don’t know and I’m certainly no expert but I do have an inkling that 1 can’t make a group. Perhaps it’s time that some of the smaller groups amalgamated to show a bit of support for each other. Again an image has been conjured up of the draw that one of the up and coming comedians goes on about; I think it’s perceived that almost every household has one and all the bits and bobs end up in it. I have one and it’s the first place I go to if I’m in search of anything out of the ordinary or indeed if I’m looking for something that just might fit on, in or around something that I just can’t make use of without that extra bit.

I think I had better check the ‘cloud calendar’ before I log off; just so I can get some sort of perspective on the rest of my day. I was going to have a go at creating an avatar from the photograph that I uploaded, and then on second thoughts, until my age has been determined I think I’d better leave it as is. I had considered, just to get into character, wearing a reading hat and smoking jacket to recognise my 99 years: it suddenly dawned on me that I didn’t have a hat that could read and of course the last thing I needed was the health and safety police complaining about the smoke.

Keep smiling...
