blog:off

It’s ending as it started. More of a whimper than a bang.

I’ve said it before: blogging is the thing that drops off the “to do” list first when the “real” bites back. And sometimes, when things hurt, stuff happens, life comes in to focus more sharply or just gets busy, blogging goes out the window. And rightly so.

I wonder if it’s a bit like friends on Facebook – sometimes, they really are your mates but most of the time, not. And when mates are really what you need, the internet ain’t going to love you back, buy you a drink, console you.

I like to converse, drink coffee, prop up the bar, banter, cook and eat, connect with. Blogging and being - different tools, different times, different needs...

I think I’m also (not so) secretly addicted to the feeds. It’s time to stop.

I’m not as thoughtful a blogger as Ben.
I’m not as witty a blogger as jonnyfun or Fat Roland.
I’m not as incisive a blogger as Kester.
I’m not as dedicated or frequent a blogger as Mike at feig-city or Mark at Way Out West.
I’m not as crafty a blogger as Sal at Tinkering Times.
I’m not as sharing a blogger as L1z at Reach Out and Touch The Screen.

I think I’ve basically run out of pixel-based, QWERTY-formulated words.

You might still find me at Reel Review or posting messages about herons at Sanctus1 but till then, nuff said here at least.

You can’t control the message.

busy bee

I have been particularly so these last few weeks (work, life, stuff, more work). But I'm back now. Well a bit more than the last month or so anyway.

Blogging - it's the thing that fills a gap when the rest of life's stuff calms down a bit.

first beta post

I'm no techie but even I think that the introduction of the beta Blogger format/ system is a good thing... As I work out what it all does you might find some differences in layout and style in the coming weeks.
