Ageing Great Aunt Succombs to Blog

Well, I've proved it to you all; I'm a hopeless correspondent and I feel my failure is partially due to YOUs out there, who email me for updates, info., etc, all the time but then don't reciprocate. During recent progress over the years (and nothing whatsoever to do with me) , letters became replaced by faxes, became replaced by emails; cell phone texts became all of a sudden too easy; digital cameras and phones with photographic capabilities emerged; blogs were developed and here we are. Why am I/we are here? A lot easier to post a general blog and spread your latest news and views and photos online and then put the blame on all your fading friends for no contact/post,; the least courtesy expected being a minimal post/comment! I like to think a lot of my friends will have down time at work, be able to access this blog, and spend their morning tea times browsing and posting a comment, instead of promising to type an email. Tough if your company doesn't allow access - you'll have to send the URL to yourselves at home. So here we go with my first blog. Don't hold your breath for any mention of frequency. I aint got no time right now (but you never know your luck) to post daily stuff like I had time to floss my teeth for 2 minutes before leaving home at 5.30am today for work. You get the picture. Here's what I suggest - check into this site maybe every 2 weeks.

The other inspirational factor was that folk who blog regularly seem so creative and their writing gets better and better - I guess that's because they are lucky enough to spend hours at work working their blogs. Me, you get what you get, normally like now, late at night, stressed, a couple or more wines/whines under the belt. You all know me well, huh? My creative writing may well improve.
