And so, I step out of the shadows and into the light of the Interweb. Although, depending on the time zone you're reading from, maybe the other way around.
I can't imagine I'll ever think of myself as a blogger, but I do like to write things sometimes. And these days, there's no excuse for keeping it to yourself when you can share your insights with, potentially, several - even dozens! - of interested readers.
I'm interested in economics, energy, climate change, retail, transport, governments, revolutions and people. I'm sure these topics will all surface on this blog at some point or another. I'm also going to apply my economic analysis and geeky love of data to houses/ apartments. I'm not interested in these as a general thing, so much, but I am interested insofar as they affect me (selfishly) or other things that I am generally interested in.
In fact, apartments will be the topic of my first proper blog post, which I will call The Eagle Has Landings. I made myself laugh when I thought of that name, which probably reflects my lame-at-times sense of humour.
In parting, I will say the thing which is traditionally said at times when one is in the public arena:
Hi Mum!
