Immodestly perhaps, I fancy I could actually be a fairly good blogger, it is just a matter of time. I'd certainly love to have a personal diary of things (a permanent record of when exactly in the first few weeks my wife comes out with the line "I'm so tired I think I might die" as she did with the first one), I'm just realistic enough to know that between work and the two kids anything more than the notes we scribble down in a notebook is unrealistic. Aside from the practical side of things, maybe part of it is the fact I'm from the UK and we tend to have a more reserved attitude towards putting personal stuff up on the internet. Certainly my wife (who in her job deals with the public) is very nervous about anything being made available in that way. Work relate thoughts I could deal with (and I don't question the merit - I find writing a very good way to get things clear in your head - a variant of the old "how do I know what I think, I haven't had a chance to hear what I'm going to say yet"), it's just the personal stuff that troubles me.
