Sod it...I've never rated Fb anyway.

OK, so this really is probably the worst time ever to pick up a public blog thread. So many good people writing so many more pithy, apposite, erudite and really funny words elsewhere than I ever feel capable of matching.

I've embraced Day One Premium after so long...and find benefit in scribbling personal thoughts down on there. I should probably stick to that. Somehow, a public blog post feels like an indulgence but no matter. If the current outfit can't source enough ventilators during the next 3 weeks then it may not matter anyway. You get the drift of the dark thoughts that crowd in now and again...despite excellent Portuguese red wine to take the edge off things.

So...coming up fast from behind...the story of my blogging life.

Overloaded with shite and feeling somewhat out of control atm. I really need to simplify online things. Having dumped Swarm after a million posts over the years. Fb and IG could be next - likes and comments have less of an endorphin buzz than they used to.

Engagement and genuine connection matter more. They always have I think...it just takes something like this to concentrate the mind. Stay safe, and find your entertainment, respite and solace wherever works best for you.
