Hi guys!

This here's the Blog* for Fishriver, a 30-something gay guy living in London, England.

I wanted to have a space where I could put up thoughts, insights, musings, rants etc without the mallarcky (that's a London slang for hassle for all you international visitors who thought 'what the hell?", when they saw that) of updating a web page.

I also wanted a space where I could share my experiences in the hope that others would contribute to the conversation and build a forum for chatting about what's it's like being gay in the twenty second century, what it was like growing up realising you were kinda different from other people and how you went about (or are going about) coming to terms with who you are and who others are too.

Oh, by the way, if you got here from another way other than my website, you can go take a look here

I'd really like people to add comments and stuff here too. Or maybe respond to the things I'm writing about. If you do want to say something, email me here and I'll add you as a contributor. You can then post to your hearts content (It's the the only way right now, sorry, but you'll get a reply email telling you how to log in)

* if you don't know what a Blog is by the way, take a look here

OK, I've got my mum coming up to London this weekend - the first time she's stayting with us in 2 years! (since I came out to her).
So should be an interesting weekend.
Actually, I'm really looking forward to it.
She took me coming out and saying I was living with my partner, quite badly at first and things were pretty hairy to start with, but she came around last year and although hasn't quite been able to come and stay so far, made a pretty remarkable turn around in terms of feeling a lot better about it.

This weekend is the first time she actually asked if she could come up to visit us, so pretty big step on her part but major leap forward in acceptance.

I'll let you know how it goes.....
