Carpe Diem or not

Sometimes I just feel like a snail without a shell!  Not exactly an original observation but the image describes the emotion just perfectly.

Essentially what that means is that I'm not homeless, but feeling that way right now.  Vulnerable is another way to look at it, but that's a little too emotional a description for where I'm at, but not too way off.

Trying to work out exactly WHY TODAY is a whole other thing.

The idea of having a blog was really a commercial decision initially - trying to think longterm and well ahead, it stands to reason that when I'm published, the more I'm visible, the better that works for me in this very "who's talking to whom & following whom" world !  What this may actually occasionally turn out to be is a wailing wall, a mirror or testing ground for more than just bookable babble!
 
Anyway, keep it short & sweet - I'm homesick today!  I'm annoyed that I am in fact AT HOME and homesick at the same time.  The joys of being an expat in exile - self imposed and generally quite happy with that, excluding today!

Cape Town seems so very very far away right now.

However, Carpe Diem as one must and that means a lovely breezy English summer day!

The Beginning

So this is it! The beginning of a public interface! No more hiding behind vagaries - it's now visible content and at some point, hopefully soon, one with cult status!

So much to say and so little clue on how and where. It's both intimidating and invigorating.

It starts with the training and tentative steps, warms up to the regular and worthy and extends to the fabulous and expensive - that's the plan.

I look forward to the feedback and the abuse. This is it - no going back!
