At some point when starting a new blog you have to stop fretting that you don’t really understand WordPress, stop trying to find an achingly funny and original title and web address, stop pissing around with different themes, and actually write something.

So here it is. My new blog. I’m not sure what I’m going to blog about, but I realised that there were things that I wanted to talk about, and for various reasons there wasn’t anywhere to talk about them.

My name’s Simon. I’m not a newcomer to blogging, but I am a newcomer to blogging as Simon. It’s complicated. I might explain it one day.

I live and work in West Norfolk, with my wife Jane and – soon – my first child. He (for we’re pretty confident it will be a he) will turn up around the end of the month.

That’s probably something I’m going to blog about a lot.

For now though, welcome to my new blog about my life. I hope that it’s going to be interesting and fun, for my sake as well as yours.
