Why Start A Blog

So the question I’m asking myself is why would I start a Blog ? I can be fairly disorganised, don’t much like writing and am terrible at keeping in touch with people I want to keep in touch with! All of which are fairly good reasons to start.
The fact is the idea hadn’t even occurred to me until Andrew Smith suggested it last time I was back home in England. Since then, I have been reading his Blog and becoming more and more convinced that maybe starting what my own would be a good idea.
I’m thinking that not only is this a way of keeping in touch but it could also be a diary for my self just to remind me of what I have been up to. Also I’m hoping that it might help stop me sitting in front of the TV - If all I do is watch the box then i’m not going to have much to write about here so it my even improve my life well you never know?
Any way thanks Andrew for the suggestion lets see how it goes!
