This is a single post from deeden.co.uk made during the period May 2002 to April 2009. During a previous grand redesign I decided to make a break with the past and consign the old entries to history. This entry is from February 2004 and lives here forevermore.

Hello Mum

Well apparently my Mum has found my website (Hello Mum). What effect will this have on my writing here? An interesting question, maybe. I could say that I’ll end up swearing less, but that’s not likely as I can only remember one occasion on which I’ve sworn here, and I still feel that it was justified. So I’m in the clear there!

I can’t think of anything to worry about. She may worry at quite how nerdy I am, with the posts about XML, HTML, CSS and perl, but it could be worse, I could be a closet Manchester United fan! That would probably guarantee me banishment.

On a personal note, I just want to say that the scarf is great Mum. I’m not sure if I convinced you of my sincerity before, but it really is. I’m happily wearing it every day which is useful given the current weather. So thanks very much :)
