well i am back again after another lengthy break. it seems blogs are not as demanding as i thought. i am very busy at the moment what with work coming to an abrupt end at the end of the month. i shall have more time for my blog then, but what to write about???. i have spoken to other bloggers who reckon it is all about commenting on social issues and stuff like that. that is what i use facebook for! i suppose it is just a bit more personal and i should just write about these 'issues' that matter to me. over the next few weeks i shall have my tuppence worth on war, climate change, local government and football. these things are somewhat irellavent to most people (including myself) but as a way of personalising my blog, i feel these are a good set of topics to start with.
