Muttering about my Life

Plastic Transport Tokens – Nottingham

 

Looking over my life again, and formulating, with hindsight, a plan for its progress, I should have been a TV critic. I could then have played to my strengths and watched TV  all day. Then I could have written about it, appeared as a talking head, done celebrity quizzes and, if lucky, avoided reality TV. Compared to quizzes it always looks so hard. Two months living in a jungle with people I don’t like would be enough for me to put Plan B. That’s the one where I solve the twin problems of hunger and irritation by roasting one of the more annoying contestants and eating them. I’m a Cannibal, Get Me Out of Here!

I could write a book in jail and have a film deal waiting for me when I got out.

Well, it’s one version of my life and how it could have gone. Other lives, I suppose, are available.

I’m beginning to become more adept at writing short pieces for the Numismatic Society Facebook page.  I think I mentioned yesterday that I had done one on the Loughborough Carillon. That isn’t needed for a week or two, which is a shame, becauseI can easily do two or three a week. They are getting easier and they help me avoid the real work of the September Presentation. That link will take you to a piece I just did on plastic transport tokens from Nottingham Corporation Transport. The pictures are the ones from the Facebook article. If I use them it saves me the trouble of being creative.
