I am still alive…
…honest!! Just very, very, very, very, very busy.
And I’ve just noticed that, in a few days, it will be about six months since I last put electronic pen to bloggy Internet paper and wrote anything here. Six months!? I could have given birth to a Howler Monkey in that time. Or a Giant Panda. Or possibly even a Pale-Throated Three-Toed Sloth. Well, always assuming that I was one of the aforementioned beasties. And that I happened to be female of course. And also, for the sake of completeness, that I then managed to get myself pregnant just after writing my last blog post. (Also assuming that the gestation periods that I found by looking them up on the Intertubes are correct. And, indeed, that the critters in question would have been able to write a blog post, which I doubt – I haven’t told them any of my passwords for a start.)
Anyhoo…where was I?
Yes, I’m still here and will be trying to post some more things soon. Probably just the usual randomized ramblings, but hey, if you’ve been here before, you know what to expect, right?
And I have, at least, been saying something somewhere – I’ve been sticking my nose in on the Graphicus Blog lately ‘cos Graphicus is having a bit of fun with a pre-VAT increase sale and we’re doing all kinds of deals on the usual range of artsy-craftsy goodies that we sell.
And, on that note, I’d better be disappearing into the night again. Or into the day anyway – got lots of stuff that I’m supposed to be doing and I won’t get my afternoon cuppa if I don’t behave…
think the afternoon cuppa is safe as long as you are on kitten clean-up duty!
Hello Adrian – I am currently watching ‘Shadow of the Vampire’ on TV ( it is rather good actually- impressive performance by Eddie Izzard if nothing else) so I though I would get in touch.
Dave & Lindsey came to lunch the other day and suggested that its time we all got in touch – given how the economic situation has affected us all I think this could be a good idea.
Fi & I are currently looking for business start up opportunities – you won’t have heard of Fi, but there’s a lot more you haven’t heard in the meantime so that’s OK.
There is much to tell since the black Mini passed you in Kendal back in ’96 – even the poor old Morris is no more – please get in touch.
The Unilever title is missleading as they won’t give me a job, but they keep paying money for me to work on a 12 week contract – this is the 101st week of the contract so I must be OK at it…..
Haven’t been to The Toon since I split up with Helen many years ago, but I suspect it hasn’t changed much since. I had my first bottle of non Tyneside Broon tonight – a sad experience, although I am impressed that they’ve moved the brewery so I can still be near it.
See you later
George (as once was)
Gleeting earthling …. It is alive! (Well actually we both are – almost)
We agree with deleting 2010 from the official records – not the best of years. Hope 2011 is treating you and Glenda better.
We are going to be in Newcastle in May and thought it would be good to meet up.
If you think you could face that – get in touch. We’ve not got your current phone number and haven’t got the hang of tweeting!
Rather sadly – runequest and archery have recently been rearing their heads again which have probably made us mostalgic (is that like nostalgia with moss on!)
Hope to see you soon.
