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.

A Fortnight

Tomorrow is the big day when I go in for the next part of the procedure (they don't call it an operation) begun two weeks ago. As a consequence, I may not be around in the morning. Such is life and the open endedness of things.

In the meantime, reflect on this: two weeks in the USA is a fortnight in Britain. And the fortnight refers to the fact that it's fourteen nights. Sorta medieval contraction.
