Admiral closes down his blog
06 October 2009
[indent]I note, with a certain sadness, that The Admiral is closing down his/her blog. According to the last message posted on it,
Sorry to see him (her?) go. I appreciated the humour and the often wicked pokes at council, myself included.
I've said it before, blogging is hard work. It takes a lot of effort, time and dedication. It competes with work, recreation and entertainment. And it requires the writer to stay up-to-date in order to be relevant. Sometimes it becomes a lot like work, not at all like fun.
Local blogs generally seem to have short lives.
It's unfortunate that the Admiral's blog is closing down now, given that the coming election year promises to provide a wealth of material for local satirists. I can only hope Scoop can continue to maintain his.[/indent]

Due to work pressures, I’m no longer able to keep up with the maintenance of this blog. I hope it was enjoyed. I’ll leave the existing content online for a while before removing it. Many thanks for all the comments and email feedback, it was much appreciated.
