That was delightful. <br /><br />You're right, I know my own limitations and am avoiding Twitter even though Broken Biro is trying to lure me into the path of temptation.<br /><br />I have also avoided eBay, given up a poetic forum (Disgruntled poets are Hard Work), and trawling second hand bookshops online.Moptophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03043271018134053860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-186196426989121501.post-31966346236883035322010-04-11T22:09:53.030+01:002010-04-11T22:09:53.030+01:00You'll enjoy wasting another 5 minutes reading...You'll enjoy wasting another 5 minutes reading this then - courtesy of one of my twitter feeds<br />1949 essay on the subtle art of procrastination: http://bit.ly/ahOSAK<br />Though do try to avoid twitter addiction.

T...I'm wondering what #48 refers to, really. <br /><br />Truly useful things, for which you should not castigate yourself, are: <br />Nos. 2-8, the reaction to 9, 13-16 (17 being a sensual pleasure and necessary in its own way) <br />18 (Unavoidable, if you ask me) 19 (more healthily replaced by green tea but nothing wrong with the activity, per se), 23, 24 (closely related to 18). Jumping ahead now to 31 (the only real sign of serious mental idleness), 35 (an utter, and I do mean utter waste of time and flagr.., no blatan...no PATENtly untrue) 40 (you're not alone, m'dear) 44 (here I refer you to the plethora of self-help books to be found doing 7, or even 20) but 46 is a dangerous thing indeed if 48 really bothers you. Time spent doing 49 is, in my ex-piano teacher's view, more appropriately called 'practice' or could even seen as beneficial in much the same way as 6 or even 27, and most definitely should not involve 44. As for the first part of 50, you gave us this, didn't you? <br /><br />What does one do with quince, whatever it is?Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892637441668897411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-186196426989121501.post-7937278015306798842010-04-11T16:14:25.385+01:002010-04-11T16:14:25.385+01:00Avoidance can be such hard work...Avoidance can be such hard work...Jinksyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686101468214361004noreply@blogger.com
