A New Blog is Born

So.

Here we are.

So.

I probably need to answer some questions about it.

First of all – Why did I call it ‘Oh FFS’? Because thinking up a snappy, clever, revealing or whimsical title is actually harder than you think. ‘Polly’s Ponderings’ ‘Inside My Life’ ‘Something clever with a play on the fact that I have twins’ ‘Something clever about the fact that I have dogs’ – see? Then I thought ‘Oh FFS’ and realised that I say that phrase quite a lot. (Well, that and ‘Oh, bollocks to it’) and I thought it as good a title as any.

Second question – Why are you doing a blog? Haven’t you got your hands full enough already? (Facebook friends may chuckle appreciatively). Because Facebook has a limit on the the number of characters I can use to moan, celebrate, rant, tell funny stories or ask questions with. So if you like, this blog can be thought of as a huge great long status report. Heaven knows I am not the sort of person to use one word when several are available to me. Also, people keep telling me I should write a book. Unfortunately none of them are publishers with huge great sums of money so this is a pretty close approximation. Unless they were suggesting I write a book about earthworms. In which case it won’t be.

Third question – What’s it going to be about? Same as everyone else’s, I expect. Stuff. Stuff about my kids, about my dogs, about my friends (oh, my friends count on Fb has suddenly dropped quite drastically. I wonder why?), about everything. It will be very me though. As I am not very good at being anyone else. So that means you probably ought to leave your sensibilities at the virtual door. My nice friend does a lovely blog in which she often counts her blessings, shows her pride in her family and generally produces a heart-warming read. I am not expecting that to happen here. Just so you know.

So.

There you are.

Hopefully I will enjoy writing it and hopefully you will enjoy reading it. If not, I will employ the use of the delete option Blogger so thoughtfully provides.
