Happy New Year!
Rainy Day wishes health and happiness to all its loyal, and rebellious, readers! Will the blogging continue here in 2006? This diary entry made on 1 January 1829 by Sir Walter Scott reveals all:
Having omitted to carry on my diary for two or three days, I lost heart to make it up, and left it unfilled for many a month and a day. During this period nothing has happened worth particular notice. The same occupations, the same amusements, the same occasional alterations of spirits, gay or depressed, the same absence of all sensible or rational cause for the one or the other – I half grieve to take up my pen, and doubt if it is worth while to record such an infinite quantity of nothing. But hang it! I hate to be beat so here goes for better behaviour.
In that spirit, then, we will carry on and we hope you'll visit and comment, now and then.
