I’ve had a bit of break from this site – caused by a combination of being really busy and also me wanting to sort out in my own mind my strategy for adding material to the site. In the past I have tried to be completely consistent in what I add – for example ALWAYS adding a post about each book I read or ALWAYS trying to write a note about news stories I see about oceanography and meteorology. The trouble with this approach is it creates a sense of being under pressure and it is very easy for a back-log to build up and feelings of guilt to set in. So, I’ve decided to reinstate the site but not be too concerned about being completely consistent with what I post. I’m also thinking I will probably add some more material that relates to my work, both what I have published and what I am working on. My penchant for recording things will continue as I do plan to keep the “Reading Record” page up to date (just as a simple list of what I read) and I have also put back in the “Run O’Hare Run” page to record my latest efforts in trying to get fitter by running more (I have to do something to stop my body creaking quite so much). Fingers crossed – we’ll see how it goes.
