About the Blog

The Latin word 'scribetur' (the third person singular future passive indicative of scribo, 3rd conjugation) means 'it will be written'. I have long loved to write, but in recent years have much neglected the application of pen to paper, or of fingertips to keyboard, in any pursuit other than writing university essays. Lately I have found myself drafting in my head what I (in my not entirely digital-comfortable mind!) think of as 'articles' - digressions about things that interest me, or that I have noticed, or are concerned by. Such digressions have little in common, thematically speaking, but I wondered if they might be of interest to at least one or two readers 'out there' in the world of the internet - or, more likely, out there in the slightly smaller world of my facebook friends. Hence this blog. To ensure that, next time I find myself playing with sentences whilst cycling home about the atmosphere of library book-stacks, or the largeness of the Cambridge sky, it will be written. And, I hope, read, and perhaps even enjoyed.
