I know I've been slack ...

I realise I can't very well hassle V and tease her about having "the blog that time forgot" when I'm guilty of the same crime. Pot calling the kettle black and all that kind of thing.

I wish I could say it was because there's been a lot going on around here over the past few weeks, but that isn't strictly speaking true either.

Admittedly I felt guilty that I wasn't keeping in touch with my friends, some of whom I have basically stopped emailing and communicate solely with through conversations in the comments section of their blogs.

I guess the truth of the matter is that I just got bored with blogging. And yet "bored" isn't quite the right word either. I guess "chronically unmotivated" is another way of putting it. I found other things to do with my time that didn't involve sitting in front of a computer screen. At home the computer set-up is such that it means I have to sit with my back to the rest of the family in the lounge, which is extremely anti-social.

And at work we have been, if not exactly banned from, strongly advised against, using the internet for personal reasons due to the escalating costs involved. So no go on the internet there either ... not even on rainy lunch times when it's too wet to go out and there's nothing else to do.

So I've been away ... but now I'm back. Batteries re-charged, raring to go for the New Year ...

I've debated how to catch-up on the few exciting things that have happened around here lately ... lots of little posts, or one big gigantic one ... and I've decided to go for the lots of little ones ... for those of you with limited attention spans. You know who you are (grin) ...
