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.

Bottled Sensations

I have lately given up drinking Diet Coke and turned to the various types of flavoured water available these days. They have an interesting array of tastes on offer. Some, such as Peach, Black Cherry, and Lime, are familiar enough, but there are also some that are more in line with the advanced technology of the day. There is Chemical Soup, for instance. Toothpaste Surprise is one of my favourites. And Medical Memory is certainly one worth trying. The subtlety of Lingering Plastic is hard to beat, however.

Not that these flavours are labelled as such. They are given much more imaginative titles like Mango, Strawberry , or Apple. The whole field is a Brave New World of invention and imagination, in fact.
