Being a new blogger.....

Why on earth am I doing this?

Not that 68 is too old. There is probably the odd (very odd) ninety year old blogging away but is there a purpose to it?

Actually no - not right now. In fact nobody knows about this rather unexpected venture of mine and I don't intend to tell anyone until I am quite certain that I want to share these random thoughts. My kids alredy have plenty of good reasons to shake their heads and laugh at me.


Maybe the thing is that I quite fancy the thought of keeping a diary but another excuse is this: over the years I have written hundreds of letters to editors, managers, politicians etc etc - but usually only in my head. Those letters can now be written here on my blog so I can get them off my chest. Then if I unexpectedly find that I have written something worthwhile I will take courage, copy it and send it off. Yes - nice thought. Yes - I like this!
So here goes - the new blogger!
