 A tentative blog to test the temperature. |
|
Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end. So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.     |
| Weather Sometimes I even talk about the weather. It’s strange that I don’t usually do so, in spite of the fact that weather interests me. But it’s not the small talk daily kind of weather that I care about. To me, it’s what drives the weather that is most interesting. There are occasions when I get excited about some aspect of weather and produce screeds of descriptive language in an attempt to show others how fascinating it is. I have no idea whether this succeeds but, at the time, I don’t care. The important thing is to be carried away. Now that’s something that happens rarely to me. As an Englishman, I am trained to keep all forms of emotion and excitement under control. So, when these outbursts occur, I tend to run with them and enjoy it while it lasts. But most of the time I keep it bottled up. And if you really want to know what the weather is at the moment, it’s a bit cooler than it has been lately. I don’t think it’s raining but I could be wrong - I rarely go out. Word count: 187 |
