Logging off . . .

I’ve been thinking about it for a while but have finally decided to take a break from blogging.

I know, I’ve only just got started – nearly 18 months now.

When I started this blog it was aimed at family and friends and was going to be mainly a sort of online diary; a lot of trivial posts of not much interest to anyone who didn’t know the family.

But . . . family members found it difficult to access the blog with the password system so the only way they could access it was for me to ‘go public’. Fine by me as very few others would come by it accidentally anyway. Other members of my family are not quite as happy with this, however, so I try my hardest to keep my anonymity and resist posting family photos and referring to specific events and places that would identify us.

But, I feel it just doesn’t work this way. Naturally my life revolves around my family and work and avoiding references to either means I just end up with a lot of very bland posts and ‘fillers’.

If I find after a while that I really miss blogging then I think I’ll start a completely new blog under my real name and to heck with it.

Meanwhile I’m still on Twitter (idlerambler) if any of the handful of my readers wish to follow my inane tweeting – you’re very welcome . . . See ya!

I've a feeling I'll be back in the not-too-distant future, under a different guise - if so, you'll be among the first to know!
