Went to Aber yesterday to catch up with some people (ie Claire Dan Paul Kit Bryn) - had toffee and banana pancakes from a vegetarian restaurant (the first time I'd ever been in one a freaky eating establishment of this kind). And played the computer game where the monkeys drown ( Read more... )

For some reason, my RSS reader decided to wrap-around this week, and showed me this ages-old post all over again as if it were new.

So I thought I'd comment on it as if it were new. Ahem:

Great to see you in Aber, Strokey! Those pancakes are remarkably good considering that they're somehow VEGAN, aren't they? How do you even make pancakes without milk or eggs, anyway: I've no idea... I'm not sure I want to know, either.

FNP.

The 'pancakes' were surprisingly good.
But they don't count as food!

I've decided that I should blog more often. As part of that I'm refreshing the blog and deleting all of the entries that don't really say anything of any value.
There are a lot where I'm just moaning about things that don't matter. And even one where I said I wanted George W Bush to win the election, simply because it would annoy Michael Moore (I'd recently read 'Stupid White Men' and didn't particularly like it).
So I've deleted all of that rubbish. That's probably why it's affecting your RSS feed.

Hmm. Not sure I approve of this mass-deletion, and not sure that you should either. Good or bad, these posts are part of your history: I only ever deliberately "deleted" one post from my public blog, and even then I put it back once the crisis it caused had died down. A blog is many things: a vehicle for self-publicity, a communications tool, a way to keep in touch with friends. But beyond that, it's also a diary. It's a very specific sort of diary, in which you write not about who you are, but about how you want others to see you. That always has value, and I don't know about you, but I would really regret not being able to go back to it at any time. I've burned enough paper diaries to know that that's incredibly regrettable: I'm not going to burn the even-more-valuable digital ones.

That's why posts like this one of mine, from 1999, still stand, even though it says absolutely nothing of interest at all: because it's part of who I was. This one, from 2003, adds nothing either, but it costs nothing to keep it, and you never know ( ... )
