My first hello

Well this is a bit of a landmark for me. Technophobia runs through my bloodstream quicker than the white wine I pretend I don't drink. But... I appear to have the rough elements of my first blog site... whatever this might mean. I think I am on a steep learning curve and I'm not sure that black was the right colour to choose as my site background. Do I look like a 'club' site or maybe a funeral parlour? Will it make me sad and depressed or come to think of it create doom ladden thoughts for anyone stumbling across my ramblings. Or on the other hand, will it appear chic, expensive and rather like a luxury box of chocolates? This could go one of a number of ways. It could make you feel good and indulgent or it could make you miserable and fat. I am aiming for the first in case you are interested. I hope to raise a smile. These unconnected trains of thoughts began about 18 months ago when I started writing them for my girlfriends. I'm going to put them up again on this site and write some more I hope. Please view this as 'work in progress' My answer to web design was to click 'accept' to every icon that is available on this site but it all became a bit scary so I've started again.
