I now have to report on the time lapse between January 2011 and June 2011.  Time has zipped by so fast that it seems almost like I have been standing on the side of a racetrack, watching a Porsche whizz passed me at the rate of knots on a race track, or a kid holding on tight to the bars of a merry-go-round.  Weeks went round, and round, and round, and round again. 

Each week I would set the goal of getting down to business - write the blog, post with pictures and move on.  How long could it take?  Yet each weekend would come and go without one line being written - something else always seemed to come up.  During the week writing was unthinkable - get up at 6am, drive, start work at 7.45/8, keep head down till 4.30, drive, make dinner, do chores and collapse on the couch for the rest of the night.  And weekends ended up being the catch all and catch up point - like a spinning tombola - round and round - pick a prize - and the prize was always housework, house maintenance, chores and errands.

Round and round we go - spinning ever faster.  When will it end.

So racetrack or merry-go-round - any way you look at it - time relentlessly moves forward and I find myself desperately clinging on and barely keeping up.
