Moving

After numerous years of action, inaction, deletion and reactivation here on blogger I have decided to move my blogging over to Wordpress.

By way of song to play me out I thought that this tune by Supergrass would be appropriate.

Blog 2.0

So where was I? Having decided to set up a blog a few years ago, I then decided to take said blog down and join the ranks of the numerous ex-bloggers out there. Mainly because I was busy with extracurricular stuff in work (which I won’t bore anyone with, but that is now behind me).

Then feeling decidedly guilty (given that I talk about blogging in the course of my teaching), I have decided I should have some sort of blog presence. So the New Year resolution was to start blogging again. Being not one to rush things here we are some two months later - a post (well of sorts)!

So why have I started now? Given that I set out to write something else at my computer today (which I will explain in due course), it is obvious that the reason to do so this will be for the usual reasons of procrastination – to avoid doing the job at hand. I must admit I quite missed the inane jottings that tended to be posted here and part of me wishes I had kept it up given that last year would have been a good year to have a blog - especially with the events of Liverpool's City of Culture.

In due course, I will add more posts and try to add the old stuff that I had taken down.

Been a long time

It has been a while and it seems like every time that I post it is always by way of an apology for having not posted of late, though having been badgered by Chris I felt like I needed to break my duck for the year. Belated happy new year and all that!!

To be honest February should really be the first month of the year, well in my case at least it should be. January just felt like it never got going. What with being skint, in the post-Christmas belt tightening period, that seemingly hits everyone.

The first month was also spent getting over the flu that had laid me up over the Christmas period. The last month was also a time of groundhog Friday/Saturday, with three consecutive weekends given over to taking my car to the garage, first for an MOT, then to clear up a mystery fault. Thankfully it is now sorted but I still have a creeping fear that something is up with the car.

It’s been a long time away for something reason I have been suffering from a writers block – even emails have been hard work of late. The Facebook novelty has even passed and I can’t be bothered posting to that.

There has been so much going on in my life in the last few months (some good and some not so). There has been much to reflect upon, yet so little time to do so. Hopefully that will change in time. Work is still relentless…but I won’t bore you with the details. I’ll just say the period of marking is upon us…joy!!!

I aim to be back here sometime soon…though I wouldn’t hold your breath!
