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.

Monkeys!

The ninja monkeys have pranked me with some gift points. I tried to thank them by answering their email but it wouldn’t go through. So I devised a new and unlikely way to express my gratitude. Posting about it in my blog would avoid the possibility of appearing to brag in the Newsfeed in contrast to all those who haven’t been pranked, and the monkeys would have done me the extra favour of giving me something to post about. Now that’s almost as valuable as the gift points.

So here it is.
