Where do you start the first posting on a blog? Its a little like what I would imagine a blind date to be like, but without the awkward eye contact, the sweaty palms and the dawning realisation that whats coming out of your mouth bears no resemblance to that coherent language that you have had no trouble mastering since the age of three.
I live in a small rural village (with small town ambitions) with the ladies in my life, a wife who pretends not to like me ( very convincingly!), an older teenage daughter whose life lurches between drama and crisis, and a younger teenage daughter who has a busier social life than Posh Spice. Oh , and a dog!. Actually the dog being male is my buddy, and as he is sometimes smelly, sometimes lazy and always being blamed for something or other, it was only a matter of time before we bonded - destined to both spend unspecified chunks of our time in the proverbial doghouse.
So thats me, hoping that when my midlife crisis comes calling it has the decency to do so in the week following a major lottery win, otherwise how I am going to afford the excesses which I am banking on it bringing!
