Ok, gap months. It’s been a while. Not for any particular reason, I’ve just not gone through all the necessary stages, in the required order, to translate any of my myriad pointless musings into a set of vaguely comprehensible written words, The pros of this situation are as follows:

• Bit more time on my hands (not much)
• Possible reduction in general navel gazing and severe over analysis of every situation
• Slight saving on mobile data (scraping the barrel with that one)

And the cons… well the main one is the constant nagging sense that there’s something I really should get round to. That, coupled with the vague sense of disappointment that no one has, at any point, asked me when I’m going to be posting something on my blog. Which suggests no one has noticed that I haven’t posted for a while. Which rather negates the nagging sense that I should do so. Unless I’m just doing it for myself. Sort of like writing a journal and then self consciously leaving it lying about for people to read.

So, on balance, not much in it. What’s swung it, I think, is the growing backlog of unwritten posts that I’m struggling to keep in my head. Pretty much every day there’ll be something that makes me think ‘ooh, must make a note of that for a blog post’. Which is fine when you’re writing a post every week or two. Less so when you’ve gone about four months, which is about 120 days, which is really quite a large number of random ideas to keep in your head. So, in the interest of creating some headspace, here’s a post. With more to follow, let’s hope, because I haven’t actually got rid of any of the backlog here at all, just justified my decision to do so. Which, as pointless, overly self-focused posts go, is pretty good going.
