From the Ashes...

It got to the point where I felt this blog was condemned indefinitely to the murky depths of the internet, gathering cyber dust, only to be seen by the bored blogger wondering where the "Next Blog" button takes them.

After starting off promisingly in 2011, and a half hearted resurrection two years later, I'm hoping this is third time lucky for Hit and Hope. Restarting this blog once again is part of a greater plan to sort out aspects of my life. Not that it's all bad of course; since I last published anything on here I was re-united with and married my Canadian wife after being separated for three years because of the government's immigration rules. That would be a good subject for a blog post...

It's unlikely I'll write as much about sport as I did first (and second) time round. For various reasons I watch a lot less football than I used to, although declining viewing figures for live football on Sky suggests I might not be the only one. But I can confirm that being married has something to do with it as well...
Since political events of the past year have been enough to make any liberal run for the hills (or Canada), it remains to be seen whether or not I can bring myself to confront this series of unfortunate events. The long-running nightmare that's begun to unfold starring that gruesome twosome, Trump and May, only reinforces TS Eliot's quote that "Mankind cannot bear very much reality". 

Consequently, my next post will be about a virtual reality: video games.
