Last week, I was asked why I had chosen to name my blog by its current, long-winded, difficult-to-remember (in other words, forgettable!) title. Well, to be honest, it was not my first choice.
I began looking for blognames starting with 'The Weekly Rant' - which I believe, would have done very well indeed. Unfortunately, this was taken as were several others such as 'Diary of a Mad Woman', 'Writer By Accident', 'The Literary Cook', and so on and so forth.
Upon discovering that my creative juices could run only this far in conjuring up blog names, I lay prostrate on our sofa feeling sorry for myself. The 'Create' channel was telecasting some show about wines and the line by Omar Khayyam came to mind.
It was a sunny day and although there was snow all around, that didn't stop me from daydreaming about my First Mate, myself, and our children in a lush Mediterranean garden filled with olive and orange trees...the bright blue sea in the distance...dark green waxy leaves throwing pleasant patterns on the ground...the sun shining on our hair...a Greek amphitheatre atop the hill....
Voila! Blog name. A moment of inspiration born out of desperation.
