Hello Dear Reader, thanks for stopping by and all wishes for a Happy New Year to you.<\/p>\n
The turning of the year is a time with plenty of traditions. There are\u00a0fireworks, Xmas and everything with family… Then web media is filled with articles listing the Best of Year X, The Worst of Year X and what to look forward to in year X+1. And there is the personal opportunity to check a few more things on the To-Do List and do some general cleanup in order\u00a0to start the new year with a clean slate.<\/p>\n
My checklist was topped by new lamps for the living room and closing a hole in an old, unused chimney (and thanks to the relative who let me help him do it). The new years cleanup focused on vacuum packing children’s clothes, sorting books and\u00a0throwing away two big boxes full of all the cases for my CD collection, which felt surprisingly good. And then there was was the question about what to do with this blog.<\/p>\n
2016 has not been a productive year for this blog and I keep having a nagging feeling because of that. When I come across blogs on the net I usually check if they are alive with recent and regular posting, or if they are dead without activity, and this blog has held on to dear life, but I go this\u00a0a nagging feeling for a long \u00a0time now, with me not being satisfied with the blog not meeting my own ambitions. At the same time, there are some perfectly good reason why I don’t get much Done on the blog:<\/p>\n
There just are other things that\u00a0must be done first.<\/p>\n
Still, I really like writing and even though it was only my second season keeping log of the garden and greenhouse, I already found it useful to go back and check what was done last year.<\/p>\n
So to get some writing done I could start by going through my drafts posts:<\/p>\n
Then, thinking back to the ambition of this site – creating some sensible content for the web when time permits, I might still get something written. Or perhaps\u00a0improve my gamer stats.<\/p>\n
