The Big Blog Bonanza Starts Here…

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Well now, done a fine job of keeping this little document going, eh? I seem to recall seeing some article in The Grauniad a while back about the huge amount of blogs begun in a blaze of enthusiasm and good intentions, only to end up as neglected and unwanted, lonely tumbleweeds of redundant rhetoric tossed aimlessly around by the cold winds of the .blogspot.com domain. And it so nearly happened here too…

Well, during my extremely brief visit to England in August, considering the amount I had to pack in (catching up with family and friends, gorging myself on familiar foods and drink, devouring as many English language books and magazines as possible, that kind of thing), this written account was never going to be high on my list of priorities until after I got back, but then that was well over a month ago now. With an internet connection at my apartment, there really is no excuse. No more! As of now, I intend to attack this sporadic journal-writing lark with renewed vigour by writing loads, posting it all as separate entries for ease of reading, and making sure to include a load of spurious waffle that one has to wade through before even getting near any details of what I’ve actually been doing lately. Shall we crack on?
