Silence has broken, maybe.

It would appear that I have not had much to write about for the past six years.  Well not here anyway.  For three of those years I was studying for a degree and had to do a lot of writing.  I read an abundance of different types of literature and had to condense my thoughts into something academic, in order to submit my written assignments.  I must not have done a bad job as I now have a Bsc.  However, I graduated nearly two years ago, and have not written much since.  I have decided to attempt blogging again. I am not sure why.  Although the other day a whole piece of writing came into my head, so maybe that is the reason.  On the other hand, it could have something to do with the fact that I am on medically-advised lockdown. Who really knows?

Life is very different than it was when I first started blogging.  For a start the world is in the middle of a pandemic, and the UK is in lockdown.  It is not just globally that things have changed. My family life looks very different too.  Nowadays I am a mum to two working daughters who are astoundingly different, but at the same time hugely similar.  As they are older teenagers, they probably will not feature much in these posts. 

As a household we still have pets, but the rabbit is a different one and the guinea pigs have come and gone.  However, a major change in this household is the introduction of a dog.  After years of mind-tricks and gentle persuasion, my youngest daughter now has the puppy she longed for most of her life.  I am still holding out against the chickens and mini-animals which she would introduce to the property in a heart beat if I let her.

Over five years ago, after a very long time hunting, we bought a house.  I have enjoyed stepping on the mortgage ladder.  My husband, not so much.  In addition, a further step of adulting was having to buy a new car.  For clarification, we have owned cars for nearly two decades, but always had a friend in the business help us buy them.  Nearly two years ago, our car needed changing and we had to search and buy a new one by ourselves.  Actually my husband did all the work, all I did was transfer money into the correct accounts. 

So, I think I will give this blogging lark a try again.  It may or may not work, as at sometime I will have to come off this medical lockdown and go back to work.  The posts will be written from the worldview of being a Christian and someone who feels like they are sidewards in a parallel world.  Those two things may be connected, but not necessarily.  And even if it all comes to a grinding halt, I have enjoyed writing this post.  So, lets crank up the motor and see what happens.
