 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.     |
| Revolution! On Saturday I weakened. My excuse is the British Grand Prix but the truth is I weakened. I decided to take a break from the 7-day badges. They have become unforgiving taskmasters. It was time to assert my independence. Appropriately, as it happens, the date being so close to the hallowed 4th of July. I spent the day in happy immersion in Practice and Qualifying, with some digging in F1’s archives for dessert. And yesterday, the Sunday, I watched both the pre-race show (absolute nonsense as usual) and the Grand Prix (sporadic rainfall made it chaotic but fun). And today I regret nothing. In fact, I shall probably only review something if Read & Review presents me with something decent. I refuse to be controlled by the promise of a badge or an animation. Word count: 133 |
