   I have just found your blog, via Nick Holmes, and wish I had found it earlier. Very interesting and a good read. I’ve added a link.

   As another cautiously anonymous law blogger, I would strongly recommend softly, softly, particularly when at the Bar. Many lawyers of both branches of the profession react strangely and negatively to the idea/mere existence of a blog, regardless of the actual content.

   That said, I am pretty much relying on my colleagues’ lack of any internet interest beyond lawtel/westlaw for my continued survival at present, that a a careful approach to anonymising content.

   Thanks so much for the comment - by coincidence I’d recently subscribed to your own blog. There seem to be very few subject specific blogs written by anonymous enthusiasts; I was astonished to find that there are few or none in my area.

   Anonymity gives you freedom to say exactly what you feel like saying, the only advantage to having my name and grinning face at the top would be to make money. That would make it work instead of a hobby, and I’d stop enjoying myself.

   I think I might have met you - was it at a Paco Pena concert, or a Brazilian thing? I forget. I’m not about to out you, though, if that was you… good luck at the bar!
