These pictures are of some Korean ladies who were visiting Hyon Ju last week (left to right Sun Hee, Hyo Jong, Jae Young). They expressed some interest in the old blog so I thought they might like to see their pictures on it.
Friday night brought on the inevitable trip to the karaoke room. You might just be able to make out Philippe singing in the background (on the left). Thankfully on this occasion he decided not to inflict his dreadful pseudo-rapping on us.
Bye-bye…. They promised to show me around next time I’m in Korea so that was nice.
News is I’ve started writing for NANOWRIMO. And that’s a good thing because by the end of the month I’ll have started a new good habit, namely writing something, anything, every day. I was a sort of inspired when I read this piece by Robert Jordan, talking about his recently diagnosed blood condition which has severely curtailed his life expectancy. Despite this he writes:
Everybody knows or has heard of someone who was told they had five years to live, only that was twenty years ago and here the guy is, still around and kicking. I mean to beat him. I sat down and figured out how long it would take me to write all of the books I currently have in mind, without adding anything new and without trying rush anything. The figure I came up with was thirty years. Now, I’m fifty-seven, so anyone my age hoping for another thirty years is asking for a fair bit, but I don’t care. That is my minimum goal. I am going to finish those books, all of them, and that is that.
What a chap! You can read more of his letter by clicking here.
Now back to those infernally blank pages!
