Being new to blogging, and not even having read any blogs until a couple of months ago, I'm finding it hard to know at what level to pitch my posts. Up to now, it all seems to have been a bit heavy, although given the stimuli that led me to starting the blog in the first place, perhaps I could forgive myself a little seriousness.
However, the blogs I enjoy reading tend to be a lot more light-hearted, so I'm going to try and follow their example to some extent. For all that I probably come across as a bit intense, I have got a pretty reasonable sense of humour, although it probably tends towards the slightly surreal - the Monty Python end of the market, you might say. The person who I have most in common with from that point of view is my daughter - no doubt it's because the things I find funny have rubbed off on her somewhat, but it could also be because she's the most intelligent person I have any regular contact with, and my humour can be a bit on the abstruse and intellectual side at times - I like puns and plays on words, that kind of thing.
Having said I was going to try and be lighter, the last paragraph still sounds a bit serious and analytical - I suppose I'm just going to have to keep trying - or perhaps better, not trying too much and being a bit more spontaneous.
I'll share what is probably my favourite joke with you - I have to add straight away that I didn't think of it, but heard it on a local radio station where we used to live (oop north!):
- Two fish in a tank, one says to the other
" How do we drive this,then? "
Very silly, but I love it!
Love & best wishes to all
