hello again

I have returned... it has indeed been a while. But the reason I went away was because I was distracting myself with various diversions... including...

Avoiding facebook... I am still not on it...

Going on a short course at Loughbourgh uni and discovering all sorts of things were named after me (ok well possibly not me exactly... perhaps Thomas Telford)...

Going sledging in the Mk snow dome... which was fun... and involved avoiding killing 5 year olds, who it has to be said made up the majority of other people using the slope! You will be pleased to know that I seemed to do quite well on this front, and no 5 year olds were killed or maimed.
Moving house... yes I moved into a new abode, owned by Spearsy and Mist... here (for Spearsy in Senegal's benefit) is a photo of the glorious loo, with the glorious new barbed wire loo seat. Also note glorious new Ikea loo brush... this was procured despite some people thinking we didn't need to replace the loo brush that came with the house (it was manky).
For Arth and Spearsy's 70th Birthday party i grew an Afro, and fell in love with a worryingly side burned and tashed stranger... Who i later tried (unsuccessfully) to kill using a plastic gun...
Hils was quite the celebrity... and spearsy just looks scouse like...
I have also acquired glasses for looking at computer screens... very exciting I am sure, especially as they seem to make me look European... and worried...
Spring has also been fabulous - when the sun shines! It has been 3 years since I have been in the UK to experience a proper English spring, and the blossom and spring like smells are yummy! As are the long light evenings - not something that Cambodia and Nepal went in for particularly!
Queenie has some nice spring flowers to enjoy outside of her palace too!
