It’s been a while since I put any new words up on this nearly 30 month old blog – so perhaps I ought to bring you up to date.
It’s telling that a baby at about 30 months will pick up a book and look like he/she is reading – when in fact she/he probably isn’t – that’s called ‘emergent literacy’; which is much like this blog I suppose.
And I think as this literacy starts to emerge, as it were, I will be stopping this blog. In the words of Ronan Keating (from boy band icons ‘Boyzone’) ‘You say it best, when you say nothing at all’.
I’ve shared many things on this blog, travels, traumas and triumphs, as well as some of the less happy times and the challenges that face any one who’s, as Sean would put it ‘PLU’ – or People Like Us. But now I need to get on with it. Get my house in order – be that here or anywhere – and focus on the immediate and intimate as opposed to the prose of the past.
I’ve enjoyed it greatly, it has been incredibly self-indulgent and I thank you for tolerating that and more importantly, the countless misplaced apostrophe’s.
Thanks.
Jonathan
Darling – I am extremely sorry to hear that, because I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog and am going to miss it greatly.
By the way, well before Ronan Keating got his hands on it, those words were first sung by Keith Whitley. (And a number of other people subsequently – I also really like Alison Krauss’ version.)
Well I’m back. I couldn’t help myself x.
