Excited

So - cant believe I have two comments! Okay, so Fi found my Blog.. tht still leaves Dave :)

I am so excited about mum coming to visit me! I read all these amazing blogs that are witty, erudite and I marvel at how amazing and intersting other people's lives are. At the same time its a bit scary.. take today for example. I was getting my regular dose of Sepia and found this article - http://www.sepiamutiny.com/sepia/archives/003289.html and I loved it, just loved her snarky sense of humour, the pathos and misadventures of her family life, one that I could so relate to and as I explored more, I checked out her links and then gasp! discovered who she was in real life - and that's so scary b/c I've been pretty indiscriminte and not at all discreet during my www wanderings....... and if someone was pretty determined, they could find my likes, dislikes, etc quite easily enough (Just like my friend, Fi did!).

Anyway, its been a while since I dropped into my blog for a chat - let's hope the next entry doesnt take another 4 months!

The Birth

Well, here it is.. my blog has entered the world (sounds too much like Brave New World, but what can ya do?) I've been a netizen for yonks and have wanted to create my own blog for ages now. It actually started June 05 when I fell really really ill and was diagnosed with pneumonia which effectively incacerated me in my house for 5 weeks (yeah, it really was that severe!). So I surfed the net, listened to music, occasionally ate some soup, slept, coughed and surfed the net some more. My wandering on the net led me to the fantastic group blog called http://www.sepiamutiny.com/sepia/ and I got hooked. I don't know if my fledgling efforts will be as good (or even as popular). I've been a regular diary-writer too and so initially, I did have doubts about an online diary but I think my paper diary will be quite different from my blog. Okay - lets hope I keep up with this!
