Diaries
I write this in the hope that anyone reading it might be inspired to start diary writing if they don't already or to continue, and to discuss their process, if they do.
I like to store memories on paper, for later. Mundane daily life or exciting events….
What is a diary as a rule?
A document useful to the person who keeps it.
Dull to the contemporary who reads it…
…and invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it.

Becoming Teetotal
My 2nd time → “back to Teetotal”
I first tried a break from alcohol in 2016. For various reasons. I just wanted to stop drinking.
I'd read a few “sober blogs” and had been increasingly unhappy about how much I was drinking and how much mental energy I was expending on thinking about how to moderate it.
So I stopped. Just like that. It was easy, really.
Blogging Platforms
I've recently been playing with self-hosted blogging platforms.
It started with revisiting the Blog plugin for Dokuwiki and deciding that I wanted to use a purpose made blog platform instead.
This brought me back to re-visit Chyrp-Lite which I found easy to set up and to use.
Then I found Pure Blog which seemed even more light-weight and more akin to what I was looking for.
Music - A Return To An Old Hobby

I used to play a lot of music - by this I mean actually play it myself, on instruments like mandolin, bodhran, guitar….
Privacy ?
Private versus Public
I recently got totally fed-up with the state of *the internet*. Mobile phones so tightly tied to *Google* or *Apple* that they track your every move and communicate every action you make online with databrokers that use this to profile you and target ads (and worse?) at you….
