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.

I must admit that I have a good feeling about 2024. This is in sharp contrast to my feelings about the early years of the 2020s - and I turned out to be right about them. Add that to the fact that I'm rarely optimistic in my view of the future, and I think it's entirely possible that we'll see an improvement in the coming year. If nothing else, it'll make a change.
