Today I was reading Mystic Medusa:Ultrascorping.., I had to check in because I noticed this morning at our briefing everyone was looking a bit shabby and I assumed that the looming full moon had something to do with it. The reference made to late 2005 started me wondering, what I was up to then. As my memory is not the foolproof thing it once was, I went to my journal file and found I had already archived 2005! (see Andy I do backup, or rather I did a couple of times:-)
Damn - that meant, if I really wanted to know what I was thinking/feeling/doing back then, I’d have to dig through my DVD backups - probably not worth the effort! When I checked my blog tonight though, I realised I had been posting since late 2005, so I could in fact check out my earliest posts and that helped me to remember. Wow - how easy!
My parents have headed off again on their caravaning the country ways. I actually got an email from my mum tonight. I was absolutely delighted. I have spent a little bit of time trying to teach them how to email so they can stay in touch whilst they are away. They always throw up their hands and say they’ll stick with the mobile phone texting - which they feel they’ve only just mastered. I am really pleased they have managed to get the email thing handled. It’s such a great way to stay in touch. I find phones an inconvenience now to be honest. I can’t have my phone with me for most of the day - imagine that - “Excuse me class, my mum’s on the phone.” Email is great because it’s convenient at both ends.  Next thing I know they’ll be commenting on my blog - that will be another voice in my head I’ll cater to

I have found using my blog to remember and check things too - as long as blog lasts in blogosphere.
I just wonder where they are going to store 70,000,000 blogs (and counting) with hundreds/thousands of pages.
I hope your parents have fun caravaning and mastering emails. A lot of caravan parks have internet cafe/stations now.

Yeah good point. “I’ll think about it tomorrow” devastating if they run out of space, how will I know what I did in the past - Aggh
My parents are having a ball!
Thanks for being my No. 1 commenter. You make my day.

Sometimes when I read my journals way back from 1973, I’m amazed. And now I have 14 months of my blog. It’s so interesting how our moods and minds change. I love knowing my history is out there just waiting for me to review it anytime I want…
My best,
