Too much this time...

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:

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

2. Then Mental Floss 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.

3. Mental Floss also posted a piece about Agatha Christie 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.

Idea generator maybe?

4. Then Cracked.com posted a blog on 6 ways your brain can malfunction, including Fregoli Syndrome and a few others. I checked it out and I don't think that I have had of them as yet!!

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.

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.

7. Finally there's a new photo scavenger hunt starting today over at the I love Photography 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!!

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.

Have an amazing day!!
