Eunice is having a right go. So take shelter; snuggle under that blanket; and read this week’s eloquent edition of The Blog.
Been a few weeks since an edition of The Blog; the last being The Blog: 28-1-22. So, you might be wondering where the blog I’ve been.
The simple answer? Well, there isn’t a simple answer.

What a Way to Make a Living
Yep. I mentioned my new role in the last blog post and it’s taken up a fair bit of time, energy and blog writing powers. Who knew! (well, I do, and so probably, do you).
It means being on my feet meeting people all day, raising funds for select charities; and talking the wind out of a gale.
Also, I was out with Eunice all day Friday and they just wouldn’t stop. I couldn’t get a word in wind’s way.

In that time, I’ve also been ill (no, not the ‘C’ word, but the stinkiest of stomach bugs) and took roughly five days to recover from a day/night out drinking in Birmingham.
It’s easy, simple and strangely satisfying to say, but as soon as you cross the bridge of 30, you cross the bridge of a quick recovery.
For now though, I’ll put the violin away, because, there have been posts, just not in the stream of The Blog.
Alliterate, Alliterate, Alliterate
This Tuesday saw the first in a series of a bitesize literary devices coming to Content with Mitch. Weekly posts centred on literary devices that underpin our writing and our speaking.
And we started with the absolutely barnstorming alliteration.
The post shows how allliteration is all over the place. It makes your written word/speech more memorable, musical and even more market-able.

If You Should Fail: A Book of Solace. Why We All Are Failures
Joe Moran takes a different view on failure – and in my short book review you’ll probably take a different view too.
Joe shows how our perception of failure is ultimately, well, failed.
From ancient China to homelessness and Sally Rooney, failure is all around us; and we all are a part of it’s overbearing embrace.

The Week Ahead…
This week sees the unveiling of a new page. Holy pagination!
It will include all the bitesize chunks of literary devices you can fill your mouth with. First was alliteration. Second, will be it’s close companion, assonance.
Also, tweet it lowly, but Content with Mitch will be coming to Twitter! The light-hearted, informative and conversational tone of yours truly will soon be singing from the branches.
Until then, and until next time, take it easy.
And if you need to go out – just remember that Eunice is about.
Happy week-ing
