I met Hugh at GapingVoid at a recent blogging conference I went to with work. He had some interesting things to say (particularly about Stormhoek wine, which I’m now quite keen to try), but most interesting is the fact that he writes about 20 posts a day on his blog, most of which contain less than 50 words.

Admittedly, a number of them contain comic strips, but particularly thanks to my manual blogging initiative, think I would like to see if something similar works for me – after all, I am best appreciated in small doses. So apologies in advance if a few future posts are only a sentence or two long. Odds are, most of them will be tagged ‘observational’ and all of them will be tagged ‘short’.
