Is This Working? Hello. Is There Anyone There?

A worrying experience now. I am using ‘ScribeFire‘ to write this post then publish it to my Music Man blog. Never having used this particular editor before to make a post I am unsure if it will work. So it could go anywhere. If you find it, please send it back.

A little time ago Further Musings of a Librarian invited me to write eight random things about myself. I started my eight by saying I don’t like coconut, and then realised I might add bananas to that list plus quite a few other foods, but thought the eight random things would only be foods I don’t like eating. Instead I added my second one as being I am no good at spelling, but I’m also not too hot on maths either. Then I worried that my random list was becoming a litany of negative things so I tried to change that direction by adding to the list that I am left handed.

Probably because I had written down about my left-handedness I remembered that I broke my arm when I was a child. I broke my arm trying out the chair on top of a bonfire we had built for our Guy Fawkes. The chair wasn’t safe and I fell off the top of the bonfire. Suddenly I was going into too much detail, so I decided to put down another random thing about me. I played table tennis against Desmond Douglas. By now I realised I was thinking about it too much and the stuff was no longer random. I’m not too good at thinking about random things. I was a taxi driver for a time. Oh, yes another random thing – I once got death threats because of the stage act I did. But I try not to think about that. Suddenly this random thing is raising all sorts of painful memories. I did do stage acts that didn’t receive death threats. Tommy Cooper is one of my heroes.

Now that might be eight random things. If it is not I better stop because I am sure this is no longer random. Do we ever do anything randomly I wonder? So I am sorry Lilian if these are not too random, indeed there might not even be eight things there. See, I told you I was no good at maths. Another random thing, I am not too good at this ‘random thing’ game either.

I am going to publish this now. I think I have set everything up correctly in ScribeFire. Hope it works. It could randomly disappear and I would have no idea what I had done.
