Here's the story of this blog. So far. I set it up using Scribbles. I named it 'blogbear' at first. I was happy with that....
Today, a bit of a thing had kicked off on the Fediverse. It may have kicked off elsewhere too, but I'm not one of those...
I had a video call with my sister yesterday. She was looking after her 3 year-old grand-daughter, my great-niece, and was trying to explain to...
So if I'm currently not doing 'too much' (as per docs advice) and not writing anything at the moment, what am I doing all day?
I don't have an inflated enough opinion of myself to think that many people will miss me. However, I don't want anybody that might be...

I haven't blogged for a while. This is mainly because I am very tired. Why am I very tired? Well, let's see if we can...

Up until today, I've been using the title 'Blogbear' for this blog. The eagle-eyed reader, whichever one of you that is, will possibly have spotted...

We watched the eclipse this evening using a colander. And not just any colander, but a thematically-correct colander with a star shape in it.
This morning, in the land between fully asleep and the half-awake of time to get up, I was dreaming. This is very unusual for me...
I did something I promised myself I wouldn't do here last night. Luckily, I don't think anyone noticed, and I corrected myself and took it...
