Last Day of September

My how time flies!!

I had a Dragon Boat pratice last night. The weather was wondrful to start with, but when the boat went out of range of the sun it was very cool. We learned a new paddle techique. Bend forward as far as you can go then pull the paddle forward and back as far also. It makes for a faster speed. The team hope sto continue for another month, thenit will be too dark. We will then have a Sunday morning practise. But i go to church so i dont think i willdo that very often. Perhaps only once a month when we paddle across to Protection Islan d and go to the pub for lunch.

I need to do poetry readings soon. Itis fine to produce a book but i need to get the book known. The book has a few errors in it and i need to revise it again. I have learned what not to do. My editor and the printer and myself did not notice many things wrong with it.

Blithe Spirit, the Jornal of the British Haiku Society has done a review in the September issue. I was please with it. It did say there was duplication of poems and i need to fix that for the next printing.

Itis a grey morning and i need to get used to that for the next few months. I love the rain so thats not a problem. I can look out my widow while i am on my computer and see the many shades of grey in the ocean. Float planes land and take off, the ferries go by, fishing boatds and sailing crafts of all kinds are still here all Winter. Vancpuver Island has a mild climate and it does not snow very often and if it does it melts within a day.

Saturdays is my official GOOF OFF day. I do my rounds of the second book shops and music stores. I preview the latest top ten cd at the record store. I have lunch at the Lighthouse Pub which sits in the bay and has wonderful views and good Salmon fish and chips.
