Sometimes I have difficulty writing because I don’t have an idea. Today I have too many and I can’t make up my mind. For example:<\/p>\n

1. The name, Cox’s Orange Pippin’,  popped into my head. I thought, OK, I can write a post on apples. A quick wikipedia<\/a> search told me that there are over 7,500 varieties of apples. That should keep me going for a while.<\/p>\n

2. Then Mental Floss<\/a> posted that it was National Play Doh Day and listed 10 fun facts about Play Doh. I love Play Doh and the facts were very interesting.<\/p>\n

3. Mental Floss also posted a piece about Agatha Christie<\/a> on her birthday and since I am about to start Murder at the Vicarage, I was tempted to write a bit about her or about the difference between the terms vicarage, manse, parsonage etc. Well, if you really try, you could make it interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Idea generator maybe?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n4. Then Cracked.com posted a blog on 6 ways your brain can malfunction<\/a>, including Fregoli Syndrome and a few others. I checked it out and I don’t think that I have had of them as yet!!<\/p>\n

5. Next there was the article in the paper about a new book Why Having Too Little Means So Much by Prof. Eldar Shafir and Sendhil Mullainathan. It documents the results of a study of poverty and its strain on the brain.<\/p>\n

6. I haven’t even touched the proposed new legislation in Quebec that will ban the wearing of garments and jewellery with obvious religious connections.<\/p>\n

7. Finally there’s a new photo scavenger hunt starting today over at the I love Photography<\/a> page on FB. I do find that taking a picture and writing about it generates some interesting blog posts. I’ve written 256 posts so far this year. I’m just about 2 or 3 behind in meeting the blog-a-day challenge. I will catch up!!<\/p>\n

Actually I’m leaning towards #3, because I once called a vicarage, a manse and was “called up” about it. In certain areas, it’s important to know the subtle differences in their nomenclature.<\/p>\n

Have an amazing day!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
