“Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.”

 A quote from  E. L. Doctorow  (American Author and Editor, b.1931)
 

Heading down my street

 My usual exploration into the world of reading and learning and writing was called short today and a shopping trip was planned instead.  I missed writing this morning and find that usually I am too tired at night time to do this.  Its hard to concentrate when you wake up early as I do.  By this time I am usually ready to tuck down for the evening.  I will push on because I must and also because I want to.  I learned that my car is small today.  Perhaps we may be a little squishy going to Sydney when we trek to Uluru in 35 days. 

I will workshop what I take and treat it like a huge hiking trip.. Taking the bare essentials and camera gear .. skimping on the beauty products.  Not that I have any but just saying I will be taking very little with me. One pair of shoes should suffice, my steel capped boots. I wore them today.
