Self-Life-Writing

SELF LIFE WRITING:

Within my writing I hope to encourage others to write for themselves. The subject any person knows the most about is themselves and nobody know that subject matter better than they do. AUTOBIOGRAPHY – Self Life Writing

Yesterday I hit the MAGIC MILLION – 1.002,797 words since 1st January 2021.

In composing a log for my new challenge reaching from 1st January 2020 to 31st December 2022 this  is book number one.

Book Number: One 2020

Title: The Ramblings Of A Silly Old Man

Date of Publication: Saturday 22nd February 2020

Genre: Autobiography

Word Total: 40,434

Star Rating: **** (In my humble and arrogant opinion that is !)

On 1st March 2017 I published my schoolboy autobiography on Amazon: THINGS WERE
DIFFERENT IN MY DAY. This was followed up on Tuesday 11th April 2017 with my teenage autobiography THE STORY OF A TEENAGE ENTREPRENEUR (FAILED). I did not intentionally set out to add this book and make the collection a trilogy and if you consider this book to be such then my twenties, thirties, forties, fifties and sixties are missing. Or are they ?  As my mind rambles across ALL years of my life they are included.

Perhaps when I reach my one hundredth birthday I can write another


chapter THE RAMBLINGS OF A VERY OLD MAN !

How much fun did I have writing this story ?  A lot.

So can I encourage you to write your autobiography. Go on it’s fun – I promise you.

MORE LEGENDS

THERE ARE MORE LEGENDS PER SQUARE MILE IN MILTON KEYNES THAN CAN BE FOUND IN ANY OTHER TOWN< CITY OR VILLAGE IN BRITAIN   ·        Signs and roundabouts – Someone once joked that Milton Keynes was a place of signs and wonders. There were signs pointing everywhere and everyone wondered where they were actually pointing to.   Built on a unique grid road system the H roads are those which run Horizontally across the city, broadly West to East. The V roads run North and South up and down the plan. The H roads are all WAYS – Portway while the V roads are Streets – Fulmer Street and so on. Where each V road intersected with an H road there was a roundabout, at one time with a smile it was said that there were three hundred and sixty-five roundabouts, one for each day of the year. I think, somehow, that is just a legend with the tiniest possible grain of truth. Approaching a roundabout the first set of signs told the driver the local/immediate d...

  DAY SIX:   Wednesday 6 th January 2021: On this scale how are you feeling right now about China Virus ? I’M OK WITH IT ALL – SCARED - FRIGHTENED – TERRIFIED – END OF THE WORLD IS COMING I am somewhere between scared and frightened. Did you see last night’s briefing ? Did you see how Prime Minister Boris Johnson waffled and burbled his way through the questions ? No need for a scale, simply do you trust the government to take us successfully through this china virus pandemic ?   The answer I am sure is a universal NO ! Would the likes of Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher have performed the way Boris Johnson is ? When they speak on TV I am usually happy and reassured by what the scientists say but last night I got the feeling they did not fully understand what they were saying and did not have complete confidence in themselves. I am seventy years old, still a teenager at heart but I no longer have the physical fitness I once had. If I need minor ...

Plant A Tree In MK3

Image
  An idea for a community project in 2020 In the very early 1970’s Britain lost many tress due to Dutch Elm Disease. The government came up with PLANT A TREE IN ’73 encouraging people to plant trees in their gardens. This catchy phrase and the thinking behind it were such a success it was followed by PLANT SOME MORE IN ’74. Although the government announced in January 1969 an area of land was to be designated for the building of a new city these were the early days in the actual construction of Milton Keynes and the government scheme was not part of the development. However, within the planning this was to be MILTON KEYNES THE CITY OF TREES. In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s Milton Keynes Development Corporation gave every home a voucher for a tree to plant in the garden.   MILTON KEYNES THE CITY OF TREES. Within this there was an edict that NO BUILDING SHALL BE TALLER THAN THE SURROUNDING TREES. Sadly Milton Keynes Council has trashed that and   is currently amp...
