Time for a change?

A message from Francis’ PA…
For the past few years Francis has blogged about life, the universe and everything, but he is growing weary of the medium and may soon call it quits. If that happens, this website will be reorganised and all dated posts deleted save for a portfolio of selected journalistic articles and other pieces relevant to Francis’ work as a science writer.

Moths in my cupboard, holes in my teeth, and link rot on my blog. I’m going to eat a banana.

I’m going to go watch a kettle boil. Or clip my toenails.
BTW, the text above was not written by me (’twas my agent, har har!). But what is described there as a possibility will almost certainly become a reality. I’ve definitely had enough of arsey blogging. Maybe I won’t restrict my writing here to science, but I am now finding the opinionated politics extremely dull, and I’m sure many if not most of you do too.
I’m also thinking of discarding the blogroll and replacing it with, say, 10 headlines from recent stuff of interest to me published elsewhere. Maybe there’s a suitable WordPress plugin.

I would shed many a tear.

Steady on dear, it’s only a blog.

I’m off to take an aspirin and lie down in a darkened room.

Leo Baxendale says the old stuff makes fine compost. Don’t know how long you have to wait. And is it good for the roses?

Well, I’ve certainly got enough of it. Perhaps I should start growing vegetables. It would be a far more constructive use of my time than this blogging lark.

I grow vegetables, and leech off other people’s blogs.

Or mulch on them.

Never quit my friend just dally round the asymptote of less oftenness.

Maybe “Fook Off” is one of pretty boy Frank Furedi’s little helpers.
