2005 - November

[Sweder]

Running is the aphrodisiac for the writer - that's why you get so much drivel out of me after a series of excursions.

I guess we all have different ways to consolidate our thoughts. I've found a fairly reliable balance to be running offroad (distracts the organising part of my brain, looking out for deathtraps, pebbles etc) with music (seems to occupy another srea of the brain - the one that routinely mulls over mundane stuff. The music is familiar so doesn't require concentration to be enjoyed) leaving the creative part to sift abstract thoughts.

The key is getting these ideas down. This requires access to the site - or at least a word processor - fairly soon after a run; not always an option.

I'm just relieved that the blank space in the middle of the homepage didn't signal a need to purchase some new Mega-windows multi-moneyburner package . . .

Enough blather. I'm off to the downs; it's a cracking morning, Gromit.
