I often think about writing and every now and again I will have tentative go at it. I’m very much enjoying “Closer To The Edge” on Substack as it’s clearly in the style of Hunter S. Thompson who is someone we really could do with to eviscerate the whole Shit-show of what is happening in the U.S. right now with the likes of Trump and Musk.

I’m not going to go there on here: I’ve not built this Bogroll for that.

In essence I’m so tired of Facebook, always hated Twitter/X or whatever it is now. Hell is other people and their opinions on everything. I even seemed to get into some argument about the imminent loss of the Sportsman pub in Croxley. I made a comment about it needing more Footfall and cue some idiotic conversation about football with an American who could not understand the difference between the two terms. One nation divided by a common language. I just can’t be bothered any-more. If this blog become me just talking to myself and diarizing I don not really care. If anyone reads it and enjoys it, surprise bonus.

Being an Orifice of a certain age, my eyes and patience are not what they were so I’m trying a fairly stripped back workflow for my rantings. This is being hammered out in FocusWriter which is a minimalist distinction free writing application. I’m happy up here in my bunker with a pile of L.P’s thanks for asking.

I’m also playing around with Focuswriter as a distration free writing editor. This I then import into Sublime Text editor for the Bogroll posts. There could be easier workflows I suppose but if I’m going to try writing the other more serious option is Scrivener a much more serious bit of writing software..

I need to do something about this keyboard too. It’s too hit and miss.
