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 10 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@iBe.social

Just as an FYI: The Name

Where does the name 'Forking Mad' came 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.
