Battle of the Blog.

To create a blog, should be as easy as a sneeze, but it wasn,t in my case. The idea
was to carry on as *Dragonfly*. But let me tell you the "How to create a blog"
questionnaire had news for me.

I like many or most of the creatures fluttering in gardens, from the big bright Bumble-
bees to the Stink Bug, also the interesting one who cannot fly - the Great African
Millepede, but I grew up with the African name of Chongololo.
As far back as I remember, the Dragonfly remained my favorite flying insect. Often
enough I have tried to capture it, just for a closer look, but no such luck, the dragonfly
does not allow such games!

Well, it seems like a few bloggers out there in Bloggerland , feel the same as I do
about the little creature.

The battle of it all, nearly drove me to drink, and as we don,t have anything stronger
than wine in the house, I am grateful for being saved from Alcoholism!
The following day I tried again - same rejecting story from questionnaire.
That evening my husband (I,ll call him Mr.CC) sat down in front of the PC and gave it
a try. Now let me tell you Mr.CC has the patience of a Saint. But once again, not
even his Saintly patience could move the icy heart of Mr. Questionnaire!!
At that stage I was off my chair and flat on the floor, doing the Breakdance, stomping
and crying "I just want a blog, please! just a blog!"

After many frustrating days and evenings, with a battered tail (what I got for break-
dancing) and an extreme amount of hair loss, (I could pass as the new Kojak), I de-
cided it was seriously time for Plan B.

As I,ve always been a great admirer of the GINKGO TREE, with it,s fascinating
history, I decided to use the name, only slightly twisted (just incase Mr. Question-
naire had more complaints)

In Shandong, Province of China, there is a Ginkgo tree believed to be 3,000yrs
old , and after my battle with this blog, I don,t feel any younger.
