Harder than it looks...

.. this blogging milarky.

So I have been thinking about my second post and it's not as simple as you might think, especially having just  criticized the previous one post wonders in my last entry. On the one hand it's difficult to think about what to write about, will it be funny / interesting etc and then on the other hand I remember that no one is actually reading this yet! So i should chill out...

So what am I going to talk about? Well I guess it's just going to be stuff happening in my life. As a parent I seem to have fallen into the trap of talking about my son a lot, and taking a lot of pictures (actually my wife takes most of them), oh hang on, does that sound like a shameless oppurtunity to post a picture and see how pictures look in my blog? Sure does....

Pretty sure you will be seeing plenty of those if i keep this up. In terms of other stuff happening in my life, well you know i went to the dentist today. Now don't get me started on the cost for like ten minutes work on his part but I do feel as though our relationship has matured. Instead of the usual "Do you floss?" we have moved onto "You should probably think about flossing a little harder".

"Oh OK, sure" I replied.

So this was new. I am well aware that in my 30 and a bit years I have never flossed, and I am pretty sure that a trained seasoned professional who looks at teeth all day long must also know that i don't floss... but I was happy to roll with it. Also if i kept him talking maybe I could drive his hourly rate back down below £100...

On a related note, the first thing I did having come out of the dentist was to buy some old school proper sweets, a quarter of rhubarb and custard! These things are great, and If you haven't treated yourself to some recently I strongly recommend it (could be cola-cubes or maybe bon bons..) Just a plain white bag with no details of the amount of sugar, calories or an annoying trivial pursuit pie logo with everything in the red to worry about!

First Post

So I'm 30.

So it turns out that turning 30 is a little like New Year, you get to make a bunch of 'resolutions' and things that you want to achieve now that time is slipping through your decrepit fingers... Although the great thing is that instead of only having 52 weeks to fail completely by my reckoning I have about 10 years, because that's the next big "milestone".

So I thought about a few things I might like to do or change in my life, one of which was that it might be a good idea is to start a blog! It turns out that I am not the first person to have this idea, and as I was searching for a name for this blog I ran into some past efforts of other people new to their thirties... Such as this one and this one as well who had the same idea.

If I manage more than one post then I will probably be doing better than these "bloggers" but I wonder if this does give a slight insight into the mind of the newly turned thirty year old, the desperation, the need for something new and exciting, and apparently the need to actually stick at something for more than the time it takes to cook a microwave curry. On the plus side gave me a shameless chance to test how links work in this blog :)

Well I am not going to ramble to long, mainly because I don't have any followers so I am basically just writing this for myself, is that a sign of madness? See, now I am asking myself questions. Still maybe when I have some followers they will travel back to this post to see where it all started... if you have come all that way, sorry it's going to be a disappointment!
