Easter 2008 and other things

Easter time last year in my homtown of Bendigo (see my post on April 6, 2007) was very quiet, but at least I had a small role in it this year. I was part of the Phoenix FM promotion team at a stall in the main street, handing out flyers to the passing crowd during the early afternoon then, in the evening, I followed the Phoenix FM 'float' in the torchlight procession, again doing 'handouts' and playfully charging at children in my powered wheelchair which, thankfully for all concerned, has good brakes!

Since my last post, I had a brief bout of gastroenteritis which left me feeling both mentally and physically exhausted. I also had a temporary 'crash' on my computer, which left me feeling both frustrated and alone (incapable of sending/receiving emails for four days)... I don't know which was worse!! I have come to depend so much on my computer for contact with 'the outside world', that I'm left feeling completely lost when it breaks down for whatever reason. I have since recovered, thankfully, from both viruses and am feeling much better.

Thanks to a new-found friend on one of my regular visits to dating sites (her name is Barb), I have been encouraged to write the long-awaited final chapters of my autobiography, which I will include in a future post of this Blog. Incidentally, the 'fire in my belly' (see my last post) has burned itself out, due to lack of success in finding a suitable person to assist me... I am hoping the completion of my book may provide me with the impetus to try again.
