Thanks to Google+, I’ve returned to reading articles. For the last few years I have spent too much time staring at the screen waiting for responses. Now I am taking the time to read the work of those people I have called ‘mentors’ in areas of the online world that fascinate me most. This will undoubtedly take me to articles they enjoyed reading enough to make a comment.
So I am reading like there is no tomorrow! To find inspiration I am reading lots of articles upon my GoogleReader list – and discovering that many subscriptions are dead, so are slowly being cleaned out. (My subscriptions were rolled-across from my old delicious.com bookmark directory a few years ago, and promptly forgotten about. Now that I have found them, I have caught the reading-bug again.) I don’t always leave comments on articles, I prefer to do a short articles upon my blog. This gives me more room to expand on my thoughts.

My wife cooked last night. Soup. Tonnes of it. So much that we’ll be eating it at work for the next fortnight. Some men might be gobsmacked at the thought. But my wife is a grand cook, so I know already that I will love it!
Here it is in the fridge:
