Alphabetical re-arrangement

Here it is.  2019 – another year.  Happy days!

And with it the big decision whether to carry on with the jigsaw/memoir blog or whether to abandon it entirely. 

A few thoughts gather like spectres at the edge of this decision. The USB meltdown at the end of last year is the big one.  Whether to try and recover the lost data (at huge expense) or just to abandon everything that went before and act as though this is the point where my blogging starts.

Hmmm. January 1 is the point where the blog, if it has fallen by the wayside, usually starts up again; I’ll stop feathering around and make a decision.

Pauses to think.

OK. Let’s do the usual thing.  Start off the year and wait and see how long it is before the blog loses steam and falls into an abandoned heap – again.

This means of course re-arranging the alphabet continuity. Not re- jigging the letters of the generally accepted English alphabet into any sort of new and haphazard order. I could try that but it’s not likely to be a popular concept.  While I’m considering all this twaddle I have been thinking about how the English alphabet was arrived at and how, unlike the continually evolving English language, the alphabet is not very often tinkered with by people who think they know best and anything goes.

I might pick up this train of thought at a later date. At a date when I’m really short of ideas. Ah, I’ve already decided on the title!

Back to the present.

 My blog, when it is actually happening and going somewhere, is run on an alphabetical basis. Starting off in January and then making my way through the year, month by month, A to Z each month without repeating the first word of each title letter, over twelve months.  Stop grumbling and muttering that you don’t understand and it’s all gobbledygook rubbish.  You don’t have to – I’m running this blog, not you. Get it?

 Stopped reading by now?  I’m not surprised.  I’m a bit bamboozled myself but one of the problems associated with the USB meltdown was losing all my title words for the previous six months.  There goes my continuity.  Nothing to do but to start over.

Right the big decision has been made.  Let’s get on with it.
