Phone writing...

Wow...have to admit this is tough! Maybe it's psychological, but I am currently struggling to connect in the same way I do when I have a keyboard beneath my fingers. Maybe it's the fact that I can't translate my thoughts to words with such fluidity but I find it difficult to keep focus. But, I like a challenge...so, watch this space!

The Phone Story project...

So, fuelled by tea (pictured), I have decided to embark upon a new writing project for the blog...

The idea is simple - write a story on the phone and post it piecemeal to the blog as it emerges. Executing on the idea may prove to be slightly more difficult - time is at a premium and there is a good chance that writing in such a fragmented style may result in something of a horrific mess rather than a readable story.

But, I guess, only time will tell if I can pull it off...

Oliver joins the smartphone age...

After having resisted for some time, I've finally got myself a smartphone and downloaded the blogger app so that I can blog on the move. So, here I am.

We''ll have to see, once I've got to grips with the vagaries of typing on a touchscreen keypad...
