To hell with it. I cannot keep up the blog / photos on a daily basis. It is taking over my life, and I need back it right now, especially when I need every spare second to work on the Inclusion assignment.
But it has brought me some insights.

Don’t really make New Year resolutions – they’re just asking to let yourself down – but I do have hopes.
I want to explore more round about, take a photo a day and also try to write here daily. Not remotely an original plan, but I like it.

First rule of blogging: if you have spent ages on a post, save it before you walk away to check on dinner. Otherwise your son will come along and move the web onto something far more interesting than his mother.

OK, we finally got started!. It’s only taken about two years to actually launch my first blog – don’t let anyone tell you that procrastination isn’t an artform.
I’m still searching for a name, but I was determined not to let the weekend pass without the first post.
