I’m writting about gaps again. Why? There’s nothing much going on right now. Look at the history books, if they ever get written.

Think of this as a bridging blog. To give it context, think of a rubbish episode of Doctor Who, or Star Wars – Attack of the Clones. In short, don’t get your hopes up and expect photos for no reason to make everything look better than it actually is. As if that’s new!

I have content, lots of it. The problem is that I’m running a few threads and I don’t know when to either end them, or create rolling blogs. I’m not sure, but for the moment most of it is Facebook posts that keep me ammused.

Then there’s the WordPress content that I’ve spent ages copying on to webpage blog. It was boring, slow, could have been done better, ages ago, and kept me busy for a while. The admin was catching up with me and I got bogged down for a while, when all I wanted to do was take photos and write. And I could have done all of that, but there would have been a nagging worry about losing the content on the WordPress site if my domain registration runs out. I’m happy to say that I have everthing copied off and backed up. This way I can stick it on a stick and put it in a shoe box if I want to. Or host my site myself it I want to. The main thing is that I’m back in control of my digital life and now it’s time to write a couple thousand words a day. If I can manage two productive hours, things should move along nicely.

This is a picture of Tony Woodcock from around 1982. I suppose this may become clear at some point in the fututre. But for the moment, enjoy the classic 80’s England football shirt. There’ve been efforts to beat it, but this is the best by far.

Locked down

The whole CV-19 lockdown is still going on. We are early in to the second week and we’re hearing that there will be a review every three weeks to see how long this state of affairs should continue. And my strategy is to keep away from the news as much as possible. After all, I’m way to busy to waste my time doing that. but the strange thing is that I’m not bothering with the radio either. Every now and then, I glance at Twitter, but I don’t feel the need to feel informed anymore. I have original content to write, jokes that only I could make up. If I feel that I can post them on social media, I will. In the case of this one, I thought better of it:

Say what you like about CV-19 killing people, but the second hand vinyl shopping will be great for me. Loads of bargains!

The thing is that dead old people take really good care of vinyl records and the supply of good ones has dropped off in the last few years. A spike in death rates could be good for the vinyl supply and might overwhelm the people employed to put price tags on them.

Oh c’mon! I’m not evil. This isn’t making money by putting people on the streets. This is saving history. I’m doing a good thing here. Really, I am.

And that’s me back in the blogging flow. More vinyl related content to follow…….
