hello there

This is the obligatory first blog post.  Seeing as I am beginning a new chapter of my life (if you'll forgive the cliche), what with the imminent head-offage to university, I thought it could do no harm to make another probably futile attempt at regular bloggery.  I hope to scribble relentlessly about mundane activities here.  Enjoy your stay.  Shall I put the kettle on?
