3 Months Worth of Blogging in One Post.

Yes, it’s been a while. So long, in fact, that I even let my hosting lapse and the whole thing vanished. Well, I’m back!
Redundancy.
A lot has happened in the three months that I’ve been away. I was made redundant. Not the nicest of things to happen to you as Richard will, I’m sure, agree. [...]

Another Month

Oops. Another month down and still no regular blogging.
So, what have I been doing instead?
Entertaining:
K’s family were over for a week, then I had a friend staying with us for a few days as part of her trip back home from Australia. All very lovely. I do like having guests. It feels very grown-up. [...]

Osmosis

I am currently in my new (rented) flat in Morningside, and I find myself the only native English speaker amongst eight of us.
Kasia (moje Kasiu!) has her family visiting us for Easter – it’s a kind of big time in the RC calendar!. This takes the total number of native Polish speakers in this house [...]

Oops…. Comments Backlog

Silly me. There was me, sitting here thinking “no-one loves me anymore” because I hadn’t recieved any comments for AGES…
It turns out Haloscan decided to randomly activate moderation for non-fee-paying users! I had switched this on ages ago when I was getting a bit of spam, but it’s suddenly started working!
Sorry to all of you [...]

Guess Where Steve’s Been…

Time flies when you’re having fun, how true.
I appear to have stepped in a time-warping puddle, and somehow ten whole days have passed since I last wrote a blog entry.
I do have an excuse though, but I shalln’t go into it too much here – after a discussion with Svetlana, I think it’s best not [...]

Vanishing Comments

Thanks to Svetlana for drawing my attention to the fact that all my comments appear to have vanished!
They are still there if you click on the link that says “0 comments” (don’t believe it – it lies!). I’m not sure what’s up with it. I’ve not even been messing around with my template. I assume [...]

Catching Up….

Sorry I’ve not been the best blogger in the last week or so in relation to updates.
It’s been quite a busy little time for me. As I mentioned before, I have been told that at the start of October, I will be given my months notice of redundancy from my current job – not good [...]
