What shall I write today? That is the question I ask myself everyday when I finally lug myself down to the computer to work on my blog.
Shall I write about our bantam chickens, shall I write about home school, shall I write about our dogs or our cats or the lizards that climb up our house wall. Or most commonly of all shall I tell you what the weather is like today.
This quite often happens to me when there is a clean sheet of paper in front of me, although I want to be a writer and sometimes I just can’t stop scribbling, I am very often struck dumb.
If I were a scientist in the Antarctic, a game tracker in Kenya or explorer in the middle of the Sahara desert, yes I would have a lot to say. Actually I would have masses! But no, I am a girl in the bush in Tanzania. Of course there’s the fact dad and I finished a 1000 piece puzzle, (well, mostly dad) and I don’t suppose that you’ve heard about the bantams I got for my birthday, or the lizards climbing up the wall.
But those are other stories for other days.

Hey Hat! I’ve just discovered your blog - and have read back a few entries and I think you are doing great. Like your mum says - if you want to be a writer, you should write every day - and even if you think noone is reading it (because they don’t leave a comment), maybe they are and it does take a bit of time for a blog to be ‘noticed’ as people tell their friends about it etc. I will pass on the good news about your blog to my friends and see if they enjoy it as much as I do. Keep up the blogging and enjoy your holiday. I shall look forward to reading about it when you have the time to blog again…..
