Well blow me over, Mr Watkins has only taken the hint and got himself a blog! I’m slightly ashamed to admit that I was actually rather excited when I found out. Given his relative remoteness, I look forward to being able to keep in touch a bit better. And as he says, email seems so…. last year.
After I had been blogging for a while, I started to worry that when I met people who read the blog (yes, all two of them) there would be less for us to talk about; they would already know exactly what I was doing and thinking. As it turned out, blogs are the just the edited, sanitized, self-promotional highlights of your life, so you end up having more to talk about as the blog acts as a conversation starter. Sweet.
