Welcome To My Blog: an apology

Hullo to you all and welcome to my blog.

I am sorry that you ended up here, I really am. It is a rather small and particular corner of the internet to arrive at, and I’ll admit that it’s not particularly exciting here, at least not yet. Not like all the other things that you could be doing right now - I mean it is summer, Christmas even, and there is a great big wonderful world out there that won’t be there for you forever. Instead you are here.

I suppose that I should apologise.

But no matter, here is my blog. It’s a humble little thing, I know, but make yourself at home.

I really don’t expect that it will will last very long. It is akin, I suppose, to a New Year’s resolution, and, as a rule, such things don’t last long sadly. During these holidays I’ll try to build it up into something sturdy and seaworthy as it toddles along on the waves of the social ocean. Then I suppose we’ll just watch and see if it can weather the stormy school year, exams and all that silly stuff. But for now, here it is.

I apologise for the title. Don’t worry if you don’t get it, you probably shouldn’t get it. No one that I proposed it to got it. There probably isn’t even something to get.

I apologise, too, for my own indecision. This blog will not follow a thread as most tend to; it has no particular subject. Neither is it a journal, expect in a vague and meaningless sense.

I realise that doesn’t leave us with much. 

But it does leave us with Errant Wanderings.

I expect to dance from subject to subject like a mountain goat leaps from crag to crag. I will not talk about literature, or music, or gardening, or the British monarchy, or whatever particular things people find interesting, except by wonderful chance. You could say that this blog is like a box of chocolates…

The intention truly is to be errant. To wander about and see what wonders I find wherever I am led and write about it. Anything could end up here; any flotsam and jetsam that survive the wreckages of my days. Dark things. Mysterious things. Wonders that have never before been seen by you or me. Words that should never be uttered, to the darkest night or the brightest day … 

I am sorry, I really don't expect you will find anything half as exciting.

But, for now, this is just a blog, nothing more. Let us start from there.

I apologise again, I am waffling, and you are already bored. I admit I have much to learn. So, please let me know what you enjoy, what you laugh at, what you cry at, what is stupid, what is incorrect, what (Heaven forbid) is boring. Anything, just let me know. Honestly, I get lonely sometimes and I don’t want to be writing to a vacuum, thinking dumbly that it is listening. That’s really no fun, for any of us. 😊

Cool, that’s all for now. Spread the word if you like what I’m starting up here (whatever that may be). If you think that this post is boring, this blog is boring, and/or I am a boring person, well enjoy that. I don’t blame you.

And it must be an incredible and exciting thing to be bored.
