I really did mean to write this blog regularly. No, frequently. “Regularly” could be once a year. Stop being a pedant.
Since my last post the world has gone into economic meltdown, the US has a new President, Gaza has been flattened and lots of other things I can’t think of just now have happened. Oh yes, I got a smart phone for Christmas. Well, actually, it was a company purchase at the beginning of December but H, who is the company secretary, took it away and wrapped it up for a present. I’m pleased with it, even if it does take me much longer to do things I could do on my old phone quite easily. But I have finally reached the Holy Grail of having my calendar and contacts all in one place an synchronised with the ones on my PC. I could do that with my old PDA, of course, but now I can make a phone call without having to juggle two gadgets.
Going back to the beginning of the previous paragraph, I strayed from what are really rather important things to a load of self-obsessed stuff. If I was giving a sermon (which this blog is certainly not meant to be) I might make a big point about that. I might point out that a lot of the ill in this world is caused by people thinking only about their own interests and not looking more widely.
Oh, shut up Robin. That last bit was fairly nauseating. I will just say that what has been going on in the world over the last few months has had me angry and depressed in equal measure, with just a few rays of hope (maybe just one).
I ought to explain myself a bit more. I really will try to write more frequently.
