A bit later than I had planned, but here is my second post. My wife Sue has been off work ill and my caring duties have delayed me somewhat. I have a lot of catching up to do in respect of my various moans so it's hard to know where to start. It could be the online job application that lets you type in your responses, and then when you go to save what you've done it says "Oh, do you want to log in then?" I suppose I need to start with a bit of recent history. I was recently self employed but decided to give that up because it didn't suit me - in fact I felt strongly that it was making me ill. I have a history of depression and have been working in the mental health arena ever since I returned to work after a breakdown. So I decided I would get a proper job, perhaps outside of mental health. As I continue with my blog I will tell you about some of my experiences so far. But dinner is nearly ready, and as I am the cook I'd better go and dish it out!

First One

What on Earth could inspire a person who isn't that good a writer, and who isn't a "diary" person, to start to write a blog? Simply it's the frustration at seeing and experiencing things that I want to shout about but not having the opportunity to do so - well not often enough anyway! I would love people to read my blog but I wouldn't want to raise people's expectations. After all , I'm not a diary writer, so I don't know how regular my contributions will be. Still, I've got some catching up to do on some of the things that have been annoying me.
I hope to remember to put down all the ad hoc comments I would like to make about things that I come across. At present though I am unemployed, looking for work, and have several comments I would like to include about some of my experiences. Tonight I am just going to leave this as an introduction, a start to things, and a test for me to actually begin to record my thoughts when I log on tomorrow.
