Post 296. WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE.

FOR THIS BLOG FORMAT?


Perhaps the final week.
I am examining the alternatives. And there are many of them. It seems the blogging world is alive with proficient people presenting fine new formats to tease the blogging beginner. I need advice less on beginning a blog (this one will be twelve years old come the 26th July) than on simply transferring to a modern, more easily prepared, publishing format.
If and when I find one, my entire output since 2006 may well become water under the bridge.
Probably already is.
There are far too many words floating about out there anyway. Half of Fleet Street adds to them every day and most of it is political twaddle.
We're better than that.
THIS COUNTRY.
Daughter Roz and granddaughter Jess came to see us yesterday. Usual family stuff until they got to talking about ThisCountry, a BBC iPlayer mockumentary starring brother and sister Daisy and Charlie Cooper and just about everyone else in their family (one of the joys of being the pair who created and wrote it). Roz and Jess were convulsed with laughter as they talked. We had to see it.
We have now.
My parents were too old for The Goon Show, let alone Monty Python. We were too old for The Young Ones.
Need I say more?
LETTER TO THE EDITOR.
Sir -
It has not escaped my organisation's notice that Watching is composed and edited by a male person. This is clearly an affront to gender equality about which immediate action should be taken.
Yours,
Ina Tizz,
for Women in Everything
Dear Ina - Have you ever met my Leader? Ed.
