Hello? Hello?

Is there anybody out there? Will anyone read this? Perhaps not, so I can WRITE WHATEVER I WANT!!!!

Except that I am too chicken, in case someone actually does read this and takes offence.

I promised myself last week that I would return to regular blogging on a weekly basis, starting Monday. Of course I didn't even slightly manage this, but I'm thinking Wednesday evening isn't too bad a compromise. And I'm trying desperately to think of something to write about.

Ummm...

Weirdly I think I may have lost the ability to spell correctly. You know how some people pick up accents when they move to foreign climes? Well I think I may have picked up shite awful command of the English language and grammar. I am not happy about it and will be delving into my enormous dictionary to resolve any qualms. Amongst other oddities is the fact that I had a new passport photo taken today. That, in itself is not so peculiar, but Jo and I are in agreement that the photo doesn't really resemble me. Normally a slightly dodgy photo leads to pleas for kindness and reassurance, this time I honestly wanted Jo to say "Jeez, that's a terrible photo, it doesn't look anything like you!". And she did. Thank god, if I did actually look like the mysterious pig-eyed fat-faced middle aged frump in the picture I would be very very unhappy.

Sorry, I've been away. The nicest thing just happened - a knock on the door and it was my friend Sam, who just dropped by to say hello and give me a bottle of wine. She was just on her way home and thought she'd do something lovely. Aren't people fabulous sometimes?

Anyway, expect more from me as I have the upcoming workload -
a new class starting
need to write study tour booklet
need to put together on-tour seminars
go on tour

Til next week...
