Newbie to the Blogosphere

Yes blogosphere, another newbie infringing on your virtual world. I must apologise.

You see, I got into the way of reading blogs a good year or two ago when I was in a job with unmonitored Internet access and not a lot else to do. Some were British, some were American, some were extraordinary and some were hilarious; all were well-written, entertaining and, frankly, bloody addictive! More than once I've discovered a new blog and gone back to read the blogger's whole archive. It's strange and wonderful to watch as people and their circumstances change over the years because of all the little things they write about.

The more I read, the more I feel like I know these people. Every morning at tea break time at work I check my Google Reader for new blog posts and when a new entry pops up from one of my favourite bloggers, it's almost like getting an email from a friend, or watching a new episode of one of my favourite TV shows. In short: it's nice!

I'll admit right up front that not much particularly exciting happens in my lil' ol' life, so I can't guarantee that this will be well-written or entertaining and it will almost definitely not be bloody addictive, but I figure if everyone else is blogging, why shouldn't I? You never know when life will take a turn for the more exciting (hopefully in a good way and not a scary, traumatic way!) ; maybe some day someone out there might be all like "Oh another entry from Coffee and Scones - I wonder what she's been up to..." and that would be kinda cool.

So there we go - my first post about, well, posting. Hmmm. I'll try to make the next one more exciting! Until then, take care y'all! xxx
