Blogger's block

So, it has happened. 3 months in, and after a fair few rambling attempts to capture some of my experiences online, blogger's block has hit me and I appear to have run out of steam. It has probably not helped to have had an enforced 2 week break after spilling an entire glass of mango juice over my netbook (resulting in a broken, sticky and ant infested keyboard). But whilst the keyboard has been replaced and my computer returned to me in full working order, my brain might as well be crawling with insects and floating in a vat of juice for all it's usefulness right now.

Perhaps it is the heat. April is the hottest month of the year in Colombo, and both the temperature and humidity have been gradually increasing over recent weeks as if some omnipotent sadistic clown has his hands on the thermostat and is gleefully twisting the dial as I melt!

Maybe it's the rain. Monsoon season has arrived and, as well as ramping up the heat, the clown has been watching and waiting until I'm out in the elements before pressing a button to release giant bucket loads of water over my head whilst clanging thunderous cymbals and sniggering to himself! Despite the welcome coolness that accompanies the rain, this daily deluge leaves the streets awash with oversized puddles strategically arranged to ensure a high chance of me either falling into the middle of one, getting drenched as a passing bus ploughs through one, or being run down by a trishaw/bus/motobike/cyclist/cow as I attempt to navigate my way around some.

Or it could simply be that 3 months in, life in Sri Lanka is becoming more familiar. At times, it feels as if both everything and nothing seem worthy of a blog post and I struggle to know what to include and what to leave out. And so, I thought I would put some suggestions to you all and ask for some help in deciding on my next blog topic. Here are a few potential titles:

A Thai photo blog

Charging elephants

Peace and quiet in Bangkok

Coming home to Sri Lanka

Sringlish

A trip to the cinema

Why I am a creature of great fascination (part 1) or alternative title “just like Lady Di”

Let me know what you think. I do greatly value your opinion. Although, I can't promise I wont completely ignore it.
