Life before Bitful

Writing in a diarySix years ago to the day, I published my first post via Blogger. Bitful was but a twinkle in my eye, and this had a different title, a lurid muted green and maroon colour scheme (I called it 'Gucci'), way too many personal details and pictures. It was also kept an absolute secret from everyone I knew.

At the time I had returned to live in Italy after three years in the UK and six in France. I knew perfectly well that moving back had been one of the worst decisions in my life, but stubbornly wanted so much to make it work. The internet kept me alive, gave me support but most importantly showed me what I was missing - which I suppose made it worse

I blogged sporadically between March and August 2001, until during a trip to the States I opened my eyes and decided to leave Italy, this time for good, and make my home in the UK. If you know me, you'll understand there is a logic behind it.

So, if you enjoy broken links from six years ago and broken English from my old clearly demented self (in one post I even claim Matthew McConaughey is not my type - as if!), you can read the lost pre-Bitful archives.

As usual, nothing personal. Or is there?
