Busy – Moving House
Update info:
This is a re-post of an old post I’ve had to edit, and in doing so, it has ended up in the wrong place, although the cave house is still up for sale – and at a much lower price due to the recessional exchange rate. So, why not take advantage of the situation and treat yourself to a bargain.
Original post: (with price update and clickable links)
Not a lot of time to blog, as I’m preparing to move house.
If you work in a hospital, or tend the sick, please exercise patients (and patience 
).
The picture shows the entrance to our Spanish cave house, which is up for sale at the ridiculously low price of 62,500 Euros. Here’s a link to it:

And here’s a link to an article in the New York Times about living in cave houses:

I Went and Did It Again. Yeehah!
Yep! I completed my NaNo WriMo project with time to spare, and despair (over computer glitches).
My final word count is shown on my Winner’s banner in the previous NaNo-related post.
This is my hat-trick of NaNo WriMos, and at last I feel like a real writer. I am proud to display the image below.
Yeehah!
What are you doing to become a writer?

My NaNo WriMo Word Count So Far
Yeehah! It’s going well so far, but I ain’t gonna crow – let’s face it… I’m a NaNo WriMo Rhino, and Rhinos ain’t chicken, so they don’t crow.

A Day for Remembrance
Today, September 11th, is a day of remembrance for the huge number of people who lost their lives, eight years ago and after, as a consequence of the tragedy now referred to as 9/11.
There is a current project where you can designate someone you wish to remember on your blog.
It is at http://project2996.wordpress.com
Please go and pay your own respects.
As I have no one specific to focus on, I have chosen to remember everyone who passed away on that day, and also those whose passing was more prolonged pursuant to their injuries.
I have good personal reasons to remember that day, and appreciate how precious life is. I was recovering from major heart surgery, which gave me an extension of life I would not have otherwise had.
Remembering with reverence,
Grumps.
Congratulations to a Great Writing Friend
Hi, all.
Long time no post.
But I have just found out a friend of mine, Laurel Wilczek, aka “Ravenne”, (a great writer whose name is worth noting), whom I first met online at the WVU site, has recently won $500 and top place in a writing competition.
I’m very proud to be acquainted with Ravenne, and to express my gratitude for the generosity she has shown in helping me to improve my writing too.
You can read her interview transcript at the following link:

Don’t bother reading any more of my rubbish – get over to the EU site – NOW…
Grumps.
