It was in the comments to Zoe’s blog that I first started bumping into other bloggers, some of whom have since become firm friends, including one who more than anyone else encouraged me to take my witty repartee and put it into what ended up being my very own, first blog.Īnd so, in August of 2006, I launched my nascent Ricardiblog, featuring a bog-standard Blogger template with ugly green sidebars. I was hooked – the writing captured my attention, even though the subjects (teenage children? an English boyfriend who once lived in Africa? Belgium?) were nothing like my life. Of course I clicked through, to what turned out to be an at-times hysterically funny blog. Much to my surprise, one of the top hits was a website about a single mother named Zoe, living in Belgium, and claiming (rather surprisingly for the staid days of the early 21st century), My Boyfriend Is A Twat. In the early part of this century, in a fit of pique at a former employer, I typed the word “twat” into Google, for want of anywhere better to type it. I can still remember the first time I found out what a “blog” was.
