The blog as virtual shed: discuss

My daughter Vanessa has recently returned from ten weeks of volunteering in Malaysia with Operation Raleigh. And has fired up her dormant blog. Do pay her a visit. She's still finding her way around html and stuff so don't be too hard on her just yet.

I remarked once (maybe on EKN, maybe not) that a lot of men on reaching middle age build sheds. Some of us start blogs. The basic principle is the same: somewhere to go where one can appear to be doing something constructive while actually simply messing about and avoiding housework and gardening.

I can see what's ahead now my daughter has entered the blogosphere. Nag, nag, nag. "Daddy, you haven't hoovered the living room." "Can I borrow the Saxo"?" Blah, blah, blah. Nag, nag.

I hear the sound of a collapsing shed.......
