Piss Poor Excuses

Yes, it actually is October and I have many many weak excuses for not having written anything for ages.

Not that anyone will read this, except maybe Mr Bell, and I don't blame you because I haven't written anything for ages.

Karmically I am being punished for this by listening to a bargain CD I bought last week and it is dreadful.

So, my excuses -

1. I have been very distracted by last minute course writing for the class I am currently teaching. Of course, I have had at least 6 months to write the class, but its much more fun to try to put together a 2 hour long class on a variety of topics that I haven't looked at for years in the preceeding 48 hours.
2. I bought myself an ipod. And? Well, I set it up on the PC and have spent hours loading and accidentally deleting music. Not only did this occupy a good deal of my time, but it also chewed its way through a chunk of the remaining disk space on the PC. The PC then suggested I get rid of a load of unwanted files, and these included the set up page for this blog.

To cut a long story short I can't seem to access this blog from the PC and I do most of my work on the PC. Thus, no blog for a while.

3. It's been cold and wintery and sitting in front of the TV in a warm living room is much preferable to sitting in front of a keyboard in a cold office.
4. I am a lazy git.
5. I've been trying to avoid becoming a baby bore - I will attempt to keep baby news to the basics. Do NOT expect this to continue when I become a full-time parent next year and have nothing else to talk about.

I think that's all the obvious excuses covered.

Jo's Pregnancy Fact File -
- we do know the baby's gender, but are keeping it low key because the dad doesn't want to know
- it's a kicky/punchy/wriggly wee thing

Will try to get better at blogging, honest.
