What the hell are you doing?

‘What the hell are you doing?’ is likely what the cat was thinking when I picked him up and started taking photos of us like in the main picture. It might also be what you’re thinking having seen said photo attached to a blog post that also has my name on it.

Yep, it’s come to this. I suppose after four-and-a-half years of writing things on the internet a personal blog was a natural progression, as much as I previously tried to avoid it. Here we are, though. Lockdown after lockdown has finally rendered me bored enough to take the plunge and actually try this out.

It’s not entirely down to that – I do actually enjoy writing. I’ve been doing enough of it and it was actually my full-time job for a year-and-a-half pre-pandemic. You never know, this could eventually turn into something like that as well, but we’ll decide that once the one-year subscription I bought for this domain expires.

I figured that if I want to get back into writing full-time, I have to be seen to be writing quite a lot of the time while I’m sat at home. Therefore, that’s why I’m here – to share with you all (maybe not all) the things that you don’t know (or maybe do know) about me, while hopefully making it entertaining and a worthwhile intrusion into your day.

Being an avid football sufferer, there is likely to be a fair amount of content on the sport I have such a love-hate relationship with. However (and for those of you know me, this is where the big twist comes in) that’s not ALL there will be!

My overall aim is to show I’m not just a creator of football sentences, but that I can also do it with other topics like running, health (both physical and mental), lifestyle and all manner of other things that pique my interest.

If I do something different, I’ll try and write it down on here. If I go anywhere exotic (given current restrictions, Southend is probably as exotic as it’ll get) I’ll whack something up. Basically, it’ll be like me having a YouTube vlog channel without having to spend all of my furlough money on a worthwhile camera and an overpriced microphone.

Hopefully you enjoy reading all of the stuff I put on here as well. If you don’t, be nice about it and move on quietly. If you do, share it about and show your friends and see whether they like it too.

That’s enough for the extended introduction. I’m off to plan what the first actual post is going to be about because I still have no idea.

Until then, stay safe, keep two metres apart from strangers and wash your damn hands.
