Change is a coming - change has a come! Sam Cook & Me

So....according to the calendar spring has arrived. Easter has come and gone. The weather seems to have been playing a different game.

My personal spring arrived a little earlier, some time in February I think and these past two weeks have really given me the time and freedom to put the spring back into my step.

Inside I am bouncing around with joy, almost too much, but I'm allowing it for now, that joy and life has been settled in a pit far down in the depths of my soul for so long that its due its freedom and air to go crazy for a bit before I reign it in an start trying to direct it down new paths, and boy do I have big plans for this positive happy new me!

Plans a plenty, and ideas that could fill a mind map from here to the moon, its direction and focus that I need and thats not as easy when you suddenly want an instant change.

My first metamorphosis is so lame! Yes I have to use the word lame because there is no better word for something so shameful, at least it would seem so amongst the circle of friends my best pal keeps, a very well known online social butterfly Uyen Luu who also goes by Leluu I might have mentioned her before, I might be kind of proud!

Anyway, lets get to the point, I'm such a rambler... I finally managed to sign up to Instagram and Twitter!! All in a days work. Why I haven't done it before is beyond me, in fact thats not altogether true. I had actually signed up to twitter over a year ago (had to send off for new password malarky to be allowed back in, then had to be told by said best pal to delete spam that someone had posted due to my inactive status over the last year) But why I haven't been using it is beyond me. It such a great forum, especially for a loud mouth like me who likes to have her say.

Of course there's still a long way to go, now I actually have to get into the habit of taking photos when I'm out. I finally understand all those (previously thought of as sad people) who get their phones out at every opportunity snapping away. All well said and done but its still new to me and the habit is yet to be formed, but at least now I have initial sparks of the bug that will hopefully ignite the fire.

Once that starts you might even see some pics here. Visuals to accompany the text like sauce for spaghetti. Tasty!

Virgin territory

So let me begin with a thorough explanation. Firstly and rather strangely I want to tell you about my font choice.

For some years now – 3 or 4 to be minimally accurate, I have been choosing to write most things in Comic Sans, it is something that I have got into since I became a teacher.

Comic Sans seems to be the preferred choice for the very young (sometimes known as little people) as the text appears most similar to how they are taught to write (no funny curly letters, just letters they recognize).

And I, through nothing more complex than habit, have adopted this text as my everyday type set. Hear I would like to mention that although my taste has adapted to some of the simpler things in life, I am far from simple, just thought I’d clear that up.

Virgin territory, yes I am a virgin, however not in the sexual sense but in the ‘I am a blogger virgin’ meaning.

Not of much interest, but a fair bit of excitement for me, I’m expecting great things from this blogging. My very best friend in the whole wide world has been on my case for a great length of time now, trying her hardest to get me to blog – your wish, is my blog, Miss Luu (FINALLY – I hear you say).

She of course has been blogging for the better part of 2 years now and seems to be a raving hit; I am by no means biased in saying that she is, like my wonderful self, fabulous. Long live www.loveleluu.blogspot.com and the fantastic www.fernandezandleluu.co.uk supper club. The food and ambiance really is super duper divine.

Finally, thetravelbabbleblog, befitting I thought as it will be a general account of my life, past, present and future, all the travel that I do/have done. From the mundane everyday travel that is life plodding along regardless of weather I am ready for it, to the planned travelling that takes and has taken me further afield. As for the babble – well if you haven’t worked that out from the above, then stick around, mumbo jumbo (babble) is my specialty.

I have just seen the weather, rain. If I had more time I would walk to work in my much loved wellies, but having been off sick (for the 100^th time this lifetime) every minute counts and such pleasures have to be put on hold till the holidays. Instead I will be travelling by car listening to Chis Evans. Got to love BBC radio2 www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/chris-evans/ (especially if your car radio only picks up radio2, so much for modern technology)

Night night.
