Thinking of blog post titles is the bane of my blogging life. Whenever I read tips about being a better blogger, one of the key pieces of advice is to have Great Blog Post Titles and if necessary, write them once you have written the post when you have a better feel for what your post is about. A Great Blog Post Title is an elusive animal, though. When I draft a new blog post, I have taken to writing the title as ‘Insert Witty Title Here’ but the pressure to think of something witty is overwhelming! What makes a great post title is never really explained. When I am reading blogs, I like to know what the post is going to be about but when so many of my posts are random navel-gazing or excusing a lack of posting, it is hard to think of new and creative ways to say so. I suppose I just answered my own question: I need to blog about things that are more interesting!

It seems an age since I wrote about myself on this blog which is strange since this is meant to be a personal blog. Sometimes I think that’s because there is less of ‘me’ than there used to be. There is a lot of ‘us’ and a lot of ‘her’ or ‘him’. But not so much ‘me’. I am not even saying that I mind that. I love the feeling of having a family of my own and I love my part in that family. My me time centres around work (which is going well, two days a week, relaxed atmos, Dad for a boss, Mum for a child minder, busy busy busy at the moment) and sew make believe (which is also going well although I am in the throes of transforming the casual club into more of a business entity along with all new aspects which are currently bubbling away). My teaching application was submitted FINALLY a month ago and I am anxiously checking the tracking website daily for news even though they will probably email me as soon as there is any. I am trying not to think to hard about what getting a place or not getting a place will mean for me at the moment. I don’t need another cold sore.
