So here we are, heading towards the end of September, and what’s in the shops? Blinkin' Christmas stuff. I mean – we’ve barely got over the miniscule bit of summer we’ve had – and they’re foisting mid-winter onto us! Really – is it just me that can’t stand the whole ‘Christmas before December’ lark, or do other people feel the same? I’m quite happy with the idea that we can enjoy Christmas, the build up, the food, the present choosing & wrapping, the decorating and so on – but not while we’re still trying to cling onto the last dregs of summer! I mean honestly. It’s this sort of commercial driven attitude that puts me off the whole event altogether. Lets have December as the month to build up to Christmas and that’ll do nicely. It’s more fun if you cram it into a shorter period of time anyway.

Oh my big exciting news is… I’m finally back online at home! No I know. It’s not that exciting really. But it was a little weird with no internet access at home for 2 whole months. Apparently the problem is my machine is too old. Or something. I don’t care – it works (OK – so you have to remember to keep pedalling but hey it gets there in the end!) and that’s all that matters. As long as I can do my online stuff and download my photos and music I’m really not bothered. So yes – I can now answer emails again. You have all got my hotmail email address, haven’t you? I’m bored of changing it when I change ISP so I’m sticking to that one now – it’s a lot easier.

On another note – only 3 weeks to go til my holiday! Yay!!! I can’t wait – I’m knackered! It’s been a lonnnnng time since Christmas.

Enough drivel for now. Feel free to get in touch if you want to say anything interesting, random or otherwise! Or any specific questions also welcome – happy to answer them if I can (or make something up if I can’t – it all helps to keep the mind occupied). I never really know what to write on this thing or what information you’re interested in – hence the complete drivel that usually gets spouted out…..
