#mootieuk12 – Some post-Moot thoughts

Phew, home at last… …four days after the end of the Moot!

This post is a way of processing some of the highlights of the first joint UK and Irish Moodlemoot (and an attempt to gain some more points for The Game) as well as my first trip to Ireland (although I’ll keep the tourism bits light).

On blogging…

Seems like I haven’t blogged in ages. It’s not like I don’t have enough good stuff or crap to write about, it’s just that I never seem to have the time.

So. Expect musings and rantings. And a lot of random theme changes (I get bored easily). And I’m still trying to fill the internet with tripe over on Twitter.

Hi.

I really should blog more, it helps the brain deal with stuff. Expect more, but I don’t know how much… or on what topics…
