Well ok, so this is my first blog - how many times must people have read that before?

I'm not really sure what I'm going to use this blog for, I'm not an expert in anything, I have no grand wisdom to impart...I'm just here, with an internet connection and little else to do. Does that make me socially inept? No, I don't think so; I have a long term partner, Duncan, a job where I have made many friends and a loving family who I keep in regular contact with.

Do you sometimes wonder whether the pleasure of spending time with yourself (not in a sexual sense!) gets overlooked? My partner works a lot of nights so sometimes I don't see him for a few days, but I enjoy the time when its just me, as much as I relish the time that its the two of us. We have no kids, sorry Moms & Dads posters, no pets, no responsiblilties - and its f-ing brilliant. Not least because I get the remote control to myself :o)

I think I'll use this space to 'entertain/bore' people with the mundanity of my life and aspirations (the common blog, you might say). I have my mother-in-law coming to stay tomorrow for a few days, and that should provide some entertainment for others, even if it doesn't for me!
