The last post…

…somebody asked me recently ‘why do you blog?’.

I couldn’t come up with a reasonable answer.

So that’s that then…

I didn’t surf today either.

    Who on earth asked you that?

    Not sure really – I wasn´t really listening…

    I know that ‘missing purpose’ feeling dude. It’s at times like that, that I really wish I’d listened to what my grandfather always used to say…

    If you could listen to my father instead that would help me out a lot…

    You’re not abandoning us, are you? Say it ain’t so!

    Me? Of course not – just having a pause for thought…

    Someone recently posed the question, “Do you blog about life’s happenings, or do you actually do or seek out things on a daily basis solely to blog about them later?

    I fear I may be shifting to the “Live to blog” side…

    penfold replied:

    I´m going for the blog about stuff I haven´t done then attempt to do it later technique. Luckily my imagination is fairly limited…

    In all seriousness, you do need a reason to blog, otherwise the senselessness of the blog will come through in the posts.

    I say you’ve made a good decision if blogging for you no longer has a purpose – especially if that purpose was mainly to have fun with it.

    Wishing you good surfing wherever you are.

    penfold replied:

    I agree – have you read my Dad’s blog recently? – the senselessness just shines through…

    By the way… how is yours? Gal that is..

    wow is this the end of an era? or is this the start of maybe greater things?

    Good luck Pen :-)

    Who knows Teeny? Maybe this is the birth of a whole new blogging evolution and we are all here right at it’s creation. Or not… x

    I’m a Darwinist myself – on the other hand, looking at your father, as I have to do every now and then, it’s difficult to believe in evolution.

    What terribly witty ripostes young Penfold ….. I’ve taught you everything I know and still you know nothing …….

    @ Peabrain – I suppose it’s worth trotting that one out every six months or so. Yawn…

    Well if my attempts to cook are any indication, he certainly got the good, the bad, and the ugly … ;-)

    penfold replied:

    Don´t listen to her – everything that has come out of that kitchen has been entirely edible. Surfing is a good idea though…

    Perhaps I should join you?

    Why? Are you broken? Ba-boom.

    There appears to be some kind of ‘shut up shop’ disease going around, causing bloggers to pack up left, right and centre.
    I’d like to say that you’ll miss it too much and be back sometime, but I’ve been wrong before.
    Whatever you decide to do, just remember that not only did you enjoy it, but we (the readers) did too.

    penfold replied:

    Thankyou Mr B. Can´t get shot of me that easily…

    I keep coming back expecting to see a new post…at some point you might take pity on me…
    {I think I know where you are coming from but it is a shame}

    penfold replied:

    Just posted. Pity posts are the way forward I think x
