Yesterday's foray into almost civilisation was fun. I went to a couple
of different pubs and stayed mostly dry. Lots of good beer was had and
it was in great company. It reminded me how much I missed those
moments of chatting nonsense around a table with friends. Today was a
bit of a struggle with a foggy head. Not much got done..
I have been enjoying writing this phlog each day. It is mostly
nonsense and I do not expect anyone to actually read it. However, the
act of writing has been fun and I have found myself wanting to sit and
write something. Not all of it appears somewhere but some does.
Through attempting to write about the Natsu sumo tournament, I have
realised how hard sports writing is. I keep repeating statements about
x throwing y. In the end, I am just writing a line or 2 to capture the
feel of the bout. It is still junk but I think I can see how to
improve and do something different. Capturing the essence seems a
direction. An even better thing about doing this phlog is that when I
go to check all has worked, I end up reading several other phlogs.
They are windows into another life, another perspective. We all need
to see how others think, particularly when they are doing it for
reasons other than financial gain.
