so... you want something

Well.... So many people are sharing their lives by blogging. And, to think, until last week, I didn't even know what 'blog' was short for (weB LOG for the cyber-stupid like me). Now I find that I have to say something sensible... Or perhaps not. You judge (if you think judging is appropriate).
Those who know me know that I am occasionally sensible, but more often I forsake sensibility in the interests of just chattering. Not that chattering is anything less valuable or useful than anything else... just easier. And I crave an easy life. Or do I just exhibit the pretence... Your call.
I find that all my really good friends are (to a greater or lesser extent) hard work. And I totally do not begrudge that work; it is, indeed, the reason I love them. It seems to me (after having lived for more than half a life-time on this planet) that the most interesting people are the most complex people. The people who you want to probe, explore, challenge and joust with.
And, having done all of that... I have found the the person who is the Yin to my Yang... the one who puts up with my shit, who accepts all that I am, and who is always there... He is my life. My focus. He is there when I think it is all falling apart around me. He is unconditional. Simon... I love you! And I thank you.
Enough said for a first post.
Over to you....

Nice to see you have succumbed to the Blogging sensation, Governator!

You will be a fully paid up member of the BSB club on Sunday afternooons now!

Keep your chatterings coming... it will be fun to discover who are the people that are 'hard work' in your life. Thankfully, I am a gentle walk in the lovely park as far as that goes... ;-)

See you soon,
