Hello, again, World!
I'm back. Did you miss me?
I've been blogging for years under various guises, but Forking Mad was my personal ramblings through my life; random thoughts and interesting (?) articles. I started it in 2013, and here we are 11 years later, and a gap of four years, the keyboard is at it again.
What can you expect? Past ramblings include:
- Recipes
- Random food photos
- Comments on my life
- Book Reviews
- Opinions - imagine that!
My bio on social media reads:
#technology dude » culinary conjurer » drinker of #wine & #gin » crime fiction junkie » thinker of thoughts » sarcasm peddler » #Tudor history consumer
Live between #Scotland and #Spain.
If you need more of me, I am on the Fediverse: @daj@gofer.social
Just as an FYI: The Name
Where does the name 'Forking Mad' come from?
Once upon a time, while tackling an awkward patch of the garden, with my newly purchased garden fork, I stopped for a breath to admire the work so far. Despite so much enthusiasm and the feeling of burning off thousands of calories there still seemed so much to do.
As I stood there, one hand on my hips, the other on the fork handle, I suddenly exclaimed to my audience of none, "I must be forking mad" -- clearly a play on words, or more precisely toning down the expletive.
So there you have it --the phrase stuck in my mind and when I decided a few weeks later to blog about my experiences it was the obvious moniker for the site.
