Right at the start of my job at Christian Aid, I spent three days doing security training. Much of this focussed on first aid, but a substantial portion was on how to get yourself out of this or that scrape. This got me thinking about the various scrapes I’d managed to get out of without any training. I started making a list and decided to blog as many as I could, just for the hell of it. Probably I’ll enjoy reminiscing and writing about these more than anyone will read them.

It will also give me an excuse to pour over old photographs, and maybe I’ll get round to buying a scanner, and getting some of the really old ones up.

And maybe, just maybe, I’ll improve my writing.
