Like blogger, like blog?
Since the start, I’ve known this was going to be ‘an aimless, unprincipled blog’, as the tagline says. But maybe that’s just because I know myself too well. Maybe I too am pretty aimless. (Am I also unprincipled? I’d like to think not, but perhaps my views have been nudged along by others more often… Read more

A distinct lack of postiness
This unpost follows hot (-ish) on the heels of a post about LEGO railways, which took me down a little branch line that I may or may not revisit at some point … on this driftiest of blogs. I’m very aware that I haven’t posted much recently. I could say that I’ve been working on… Read more

This could have been a mastodon post
My third blog post of the year, six years to the day since I started the blog. Enough said really. Read more

Betwixt solstice and perihelion
Funny how so many of us mark a (Gregorian) New Year as if it were something more than just its own anniversary! This year it fell just a little over 11 days after the solstice (21 December 2022 at 21:47), and just over three and a half days before the perihelion (4 January 2023 at… Read more

An unpost about a day when things went wrong
Early this morning (before sleep) I published my last blog post (but set the wrong featured image). (It has had hardly any views – please read it!) Since I was up so late, I had very little sleep before my alarm. I then accidentally slept again until 12:30, which meant I wouldn’t be able to… Read more

In a liminal state of mind
Vianne Rocher, in Joanne Harris’s magical-realist novel Chocolat, is fated never to settle for long in one place, always moving on with her daughter (and her mother’s ashes) when the North Wind tells her it’s time to go. That seemingly inevitable pull of a new beginning is something I can relate to all too easily. Read more

Self-preservation
My blog is a little tired, so I hope to refresh it soon with better organisation, a new look (using WordPress’s Full Site Editing) and perhaps a more regular content schedule (but that’s probably just wishful thinking!). I’m also a little tired, so I’m coming back to the unpost format, to dump some fairly disorganised… Read more

Lonely and bored
Well it was either that or stay on Twitter and be anxious and depressed instead. I decided to take a few days off Twitter, and here I am just before bedtime, writing an unpost. I’m going to try and be even more stream-of-consciousness than usual, by dictating this to my phone and hoping it comes… Read more

Add title (an unpost)
You can tell that I can’t be bothered to choose a catchy title for this unpost: since WordPress prompts with the text ‘Add title’, that seemed like as good a start as any to me. It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these. (I’ve actually written a ‘proper’ blog post recently, but it’s… Read more
