Now my writing skills I put into my blogs, but before beginning blogging and I had learned how to use a computer I started again a diary, but only for 2 years. Then I had no time anymore.

However, that was replaced by a visual diary about 10 years ago and then daily blogging took the place of that as life and work became increasingly busier.<br /><br />I look forward to retirement when I can take up many of my "neglected" activities, e.g. calligraphy, drawing, painting and journal writing (on paper with a good pen!).<br /><br />I hope that 2012 is a wonderful year for you full of health and happiness!Intellibloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262938291462934103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-1693286639700507112012-01-01T22:17:15.578+00:002012-01-01T22:17:15.578+00:00It's sunny here today, Janice, but very very v...It's sunny here today, Janice, but very very very cold. So we get to have it both ways. LOL<br />I love the idea of a journal but I'm a very undisciplined person, so I'd need someone standing over me with a stick, which I'd find less than inspiring. Also, the connection used to be between my brain and my right hand, but now it's between my brain and all my fingers.<br />I also love the idea of your pen collection. Pens are small(ish) so it isn't like collecting pot-bellied stoves (as my mother did) and, although they're bigger than stamps, you're likely to have fewer of them.<br />Thinking of you as we go into the new year with only one (count it, one) trip upcoming.<br />I hope Barry is well soon, and you and the dogs don't catch cold on your wet walk (an old wives' tale to which I still cling).<br />KKay L.

Strangely, all the fog had disappeared by midnight and it is quite warm now.
