To blog or not to blog

Why is it that when people suggest starting a blog you are full of ideas.  The fantastic notion that people might actually read the insane things that are going on in your mind is a wonderful one.  The reality is, however that as soon as you start to think of ideas you get blog-fright.  This is the same as stage fright when you know all your words and you have rehearsed your lines a thousand times but as soon as you step up onto that stage, all the eyes are upon you and you can't remember a single line.

So, what is the theme of my blog?  Well to be honest I am a bit of a dual personality person so I guess it will be a rather eclectic mix of going out in London and staying home and being a mum.  Is it possible to be a London It Girl as well as a mother?   Yes, of course it is.

My blog will be updated whenever the mood takes me so don't be surprised if I do an onsalught of loads of articles as well as some pictures and then don't do things for a while.  I'm a bit like that.  When I like something I love it and then I get bored and go onto other things.  Very few things hold lasting interest for me.  I am very jealous of people with hobbies and passions that they know everything about.  I have never been one to have a "specialist subject".  I always like the idea of things and try them out for a while and then never return to them.  Piano playing was a great example.  I bought the keyboard and the books and every night for about 3 months slowly learned to play the piano.  Then, when it got too hard for me, I simply quit and never went back to it.  This is sort of how my life goes - liking something and then giving it up.  I hope I don't give up on this but previous experience has taught me that unless I get something back from it, it will be a short lived thing.  I like to think that in a year's time I will come back and look at this article and say how wrong I was.  I really like that idea in fact.  It's a goal now.  I almost typed "goat" now that would have been confusing.
