Welcome!

So, here we are. My first blog post! I’m sitting here staring at a blank page and it’s a little daunting to be honest. I don’t even have any readers at the moment, but it reminds me of those times back in school when you’re told to turn to a clean page in your book to write an essay or story. So many possibilities and ideas for what you could write, but that clean, crisp page ought to have something meaningful and exciting written on it. The pressure!

I don’t want to sit here and introduce myself, as I’m hoping that as I blog you’ll gradually get to know a bit about me and my life. I can’t profess to be an ultra-fashionista or a highly polished writer. This blog will simply be a hotchpotch of whatever happens to be whizzing round my head – a sort of diary if you like. There’s no theme or particular layout I’ll follow, since when does real life ever follow a perfect theme? I’m hoping this will simply be an honest account of my personal opinions and thoughts, shared with others in the hope of entertaining, providing information and perhaps even developing friendships.

You may be wondering about the name of this blog (or you may not, in which case I apologise for my assumption!). So I’ll leave you with a picture of my inspiration for the name…my Jaffa cat.
