I've been considering starting a blog a few weeks ago. I think I'll have plenty to blog about (mountain biking, sea kayaking, Bikram Yoga, exploring Vancouver Island, veganism, rabbits, climate change and lots more), the question is just, how much time will I have to write entries on my blog? The main reason for starting this blog is that I want to use it to stay in touch with my friends and family.

My partner Ian and me moved to Victoria, Vancouver Island, in January 2009. When we first arrived, we were very enthusiastic about what was going on here and wrote pages and pages of newsletters (well, okay, Ian wrote pages and pages of newsletters) and send them to friends and family. But after number 4, we found that the material we could talk about exceeded the time we had available to write about them. There seems to be a negative correlation there?

Anyway, I thought that if I have a blog, I could write short notes more frequently and try to keep up with telling stories about what's going on in our lives. So, this is just the beginning ...
