It’s been a long time.

Hello Word Press and anyone who ever sees my blog posts.
Crikey its been such a long time since I posted anything I was afraid I would forget how to write or something!
So after many years of having very cheap tablets and a very cheap keyboard attachment my wonderful wife has bought me a very powerful tablet, and with my birthday money (yes the mid 30’s are calling me now but I won’t declare here which side I have fallen on yet), I have invested in a bluetooth keyboard yeah for me!!!
Hopefully this will mean that my writing can get back on track again after so long in the wilderness (I live in hope).
After such a tumultuous 2015 where virtually nothing went right and all we seem to see was blackness and despair, I look to 2016 with a type of cautious optimism the type you get when you hope things improve dramatically but really have no real clue if it actually will or not.
For me although 2015 was a royal disaster of a year it wasn’t the first and was more like a gradual deterioration over a couple of years ultimately leading us to what happened last year.
Now don’t get me wrong 2015 was awful mainly for the parts we couldn’t control rather than the parts we could, and so in this sense it was a little different to previous years.
To this end we are finally attempting to put right the things we can control and this is where my optimism for 2016 comes from.
We have finally decided to cut our losses and attempt to get rid of our house of 9 and a half years by auction. I am a little apprehensive about the process and if we actually can do it, but all things being equal 10th March is the date set for the auction.
Other aspects of lives we do have control over will be assessed and we can see if we can do anything to make them better than they are currently.
My writing projects have progressed very slowly in the last year however finally I have after many drafts on my old computer and lost documents on a rubbish system outlined a full plot and setting with which to write a full novel (hopefully). No doubt this will be subject to a million drafts and amendments as it develops but lets see what comes forward and if it is anything someone would actually buy.
I continue to be interested in my politics and sport and even though I have not been active in writing my opinions are still hanging around in my head waiting anxiously for the chance to become print on my blog. 

For now dear reader I bid you a fond farewell and ask you to please check back when the next post comes about.

As always my opinions are my own thanks for reading.
