Here goes!

Bear with me. Inspired by relatively recent, though brilliantly written blogs by my kid brother and my sister-in-law, I decided to venture into the world of blogging. After stumbling through layouts and templates, I create a page, on which I am meant to write something of interest. Read on.

As for the name, I trawled through some waffley lists of names, wondering whether to use my location, my job, my interests and then eventually opted for something to do with my name. I think I came up with this title when asked, by facebook, a close personal friend of mine, to create a name for a website about me. Bizarrely, when I typed this into Google, I found there is a biblical city called Michmash, in Israel, just down the road from Jericho! Wahay, my blog is educational...it has a purpose!

I have no idea what I am going to write about, I don't travel all that much, although I do need to share my summer trip with the whole world, or at least those who have the decency to read this. It was amazing! I live a reasonably ordinary life, I'm happy in my job, so unlikely to offer career guidance for disgruntled (that's one of my favourite words) employees. I'm a mother of three. Now, on that I could write a book, but I know many contented and fulfilled mothers who would say exactly the same as me, so maybe not an interesting topic. I'll share Robyn's gems with you, and if I could capture Devon's expressions of disdain at her mother's embarassing behaviours, believe me I would, she is so funny! James is still amused that I am on facebook, though not on HIS friends list, so would simply raise a gorgeous eyebrow and smile if I told him I blog. My kids are wonderful, so maybe I will talk lots about them.

Hmm, I'm enjoying this, but maybe you aren't, and now I find myself in an internal dialogue with you, worrying about you, wondering what you look like, do I know you or not? I'll do this for my own amusement if nothing else, and hope that you stay with me, for the time being. Things are constantly popping into my head, which I'll leave 'til another time.

Lovely to meet you, please leave me a comment, I'm thick-skinned, and I'm a Geordie, (oh, just thought of a better blog name, possibly too obscene for some, my brother knows what I'm thinking, never mind), yes, so speak as you find!
That's all for now.
