I've been bad, I know

I've once again committed the cardinal sin of blogging - not posting for ages and ages.

I partly blame twitter and Facebook: I'm active on those sites so it feels like there's less time and fewer things to say on the blog.

There's a broader point to be made here somewhere about quantity of communication (twitter, Facebook) versus quality (blog - well, relatively). We seem to be valuing speed and frequency over reflection and analysis, somehow.

Or maybe that's just me.

"The only way to do something is to do it"
Sounds stupid, but a lot of the time you think you're doing things because you're thinking about doing them. You only get in the water by jumping off the side.
"Fruit on the table, yoghurt in the fridge"
What my sister and I heard growing up when we asked if there was dessert. Not quite as alluring.
