I just don’t know what to do with myself…

Well, that was a brief spell of blogging busyness. Apologies (to anyone still reading) for failing to answer comments - I normally would but for some reason, I think my blogging mojo was not fully recharged.

Not much has been happening, generally, except for the following little bits and bobs:

1. Wedding planning. All going well, except for extremely rude woman in bridal shop who seems to think I wear steel galvanised lederhosen which can be seen at armpit level under a corset. I think not.

2. Bird watching. Not going well. Grandly extravagant ‘bird-feeding station’ purchased, and yet no birds. However, the food is disappearing, so I’m thinking that we have discovered a new species of feathered garden friend - the stealth-bird. I even set up my new camera to do time lapse photography on the damn things, but still no birds. However, somehow, the meal worms I left out still got eaten. So, as I say, stealth-birds. I probably have to trap one and shine some special kind of light on it. Much planning to be done.

3. Fitness regime-ing. After a particularly distressing episode just before new year when I had to be ripped out of a £95 dress in Monsoon, I have been going to the gym. After 4 weeks of cycling, swimming and spinning, coupled with strenuous calorie control, I have put on 2lbs.

4. X-boxing. Project Gotham Racing. I have many fast cars. I drive like a demon. Hands a bit seized up. Dreams of power-sliding round corners. I have no life.

5. Work. Don’t get me started. I’ve gone from a frying pan full of crazies into a burning hellfire of crazy, masterminded by the queen of crazy.

Life is good though. And I hope to be blogging more regularly. Particularly about my upcoming holiday in Australia, courtesy of my sister’s impending wedding. Rah.

    Oh, there you are.
    I was planning to wait three months before writing a comment, just to show you how frustrating this sporadic blogging can be, … but no, I’m too nice, and all I can say is welcome back.
    And enjoy your good life .

    Yay! Welcome back (again)! ;) And, for the record, I’ve been going to boot camp to try to get in shape and have lost precisely ZERO pounds…so me and my sizeable arse sympathize!

    I’m so glad you’re back. Checking your blog is the first thing I do when I have internet access and know I should be updating my own but don’t have the time or the inclination. (Clearly it is not the only thing. Note that I said “first.”)

    Good luck with the wedding plans, the work, the vacation, the weight loss (fighting my own losing battle here in the land of carbohydrates), and all else!

    Uncle Did - I know, I know, I’m sorry. Sporadic blogging - very wrong. I will try to do better.

    LCG - sucks, hey? Am so fed up I’ve resorted to compulsive snacking to relieve the pain.

    Heather A - really? Wow - you’re dedicated!

  5. Heather A. Says:

    Well, okay, you got me. It’s _one_ of the first. It depends on the day. But that doesn’t negate the fact that I’m glad you’re back.

    Heather, thanks! I’m glad you’re glad I’m back.
