My very first blog...

Well hello out there...!

This is my first blog - nothing earth shattering unfortunately... it's like one of those moments when someone says 'sing something!' and you're lucky if you can remember the words to the National Anthem...(wow! that takes me back around 30 years to a school trip to the South of France - I was around 14 years old and yep - someone said that to me, and yep...I just about remembered the National Anthem...)

Over the years I've tried to keep diaries - I'm not a great diarist though... days, weeks, even months can pass between entries... also, there's something a little unnerving about the marvelous potential of a new book - those lovely crisp, clean pages that intially attracted me to purchasing it become intimidating...what should I write!?!? What if I make a spelling mistake or write complete gobbledygook....!! Arrrrggghhhhh!!!!

So, this is my attempt at a more fluid way of capturing those little insights, vague ramblings and the odd observations but via electronic means with the added benefit of text editing and spell checkers...no terrible handwriting either! I think the Tweets and Facebook updates will still pepper my days - but let's have a go at adding another dimension shall we!

Welcome to The Jottings of Jaxter...let the blogging begin!
