Apr. 19th, 2006 07:26 pmMy aim is obviously to drive a vast number of people quietly insane.
Firstly, just when a whole heap of new folk check out my blog because it is referred to as a history blog because of my Women's History Month posts, I do a positive orgy of writing posts. And just when a few people comment to me that they enjoy the culinary history, I post family things with menus and no recipes at all. They only count as historical meals if last week counts as history.
The thing is, I blog about whatever fascinates me or frustrates me or amuses me on a given day. I am sometimes an historian, sometimes a teacher, sometimes a writer, sometimes a stirrer, sometimes desperately food-minded, sometimes a tad political and sometimes just plain silly. If the day is a tired day, I have a lot of typos, because I have shocking typing (RSI is to blame - I typed professionally once upon a time) and when I am off-colour my proofreading also slips. So you get a vast variation in topic and a vast variation in copy-edited perfection.
I suspect that the best way to treat my blog is to follow the Melbourne weather proverb "If you don't like it, then wait five minutes." All the topics will come around and back again, as my life cycles through them. Although if there is something you really want to hear about, you only have to ask. Especially if it contains the word "Medieval"; there is never too much Middle Ages in my life.
