I asked ChatGPT for ideas for posts, one of its suggestions was my five favourite/best holiday photographs. While I like the idea and will at some point write a post around my five favourite/best photos, I thought I’d flip the idea and write about my dullest/WTF photographs. We all have photos in our camera rolls where, looking back, you think, why did I take that photo?, why did I think it was worthy of one?
I was minding my own business the other day, listening to an old episode of James O’Brien’s Mystery Hour on LBC (from 2019, if you must know), when a caller rang in with a question. Who invented the electric toaster? Now, being a lover of boring random trivia and obscure knowledge, my ears pricked up.
In January I joined the WordPress Bloganuary challenge, which was to post a blog post every day in January based upon the daily writing prompts they provided.
Well, I failed the challenge. I only managed to write posts for the first 12 days. (See below)
Nobody likes doing chores. I don’t mind ironing but when you get that one work shirt that no matter what you do remains creased or a shirt that as soon as you put it on becomes creased. That’s challenging.
Thankfully, I haven’t had to wear a shirt for work in probably 5 years, and I learnt which shirts were going to be problematic so avoided them.
Success is subjective. One person’s success would be considered a failure by another person.
Personally, as long as I have given my best in whatever I’m doing, I’m happy. I’d be frustrated that I didn’t succeed, and I’ll try to understand why I didn’t succeed but wouldn’t beat myself up about it for too long.
