I feel all out of touch...

...disconnected and bereft. I never get to come here much any more. I'm just busy, but I miss the online life so much. I have a lot of projects on the go; I'm trying to set up an online permaculture business that's taking up a lot of time; plus licking our house into shape so we can get it on the market, plus trying to write a book, then what little spare time I've had is all taken up lately with doing reports, galleries and a DVD for Richard's Golf thingy. I'm also musing (again) on trying to finish my PhD, which I abandoned back in '96 when I realised I was never going to have enough money to complete all the research. It's not a practical proposition the way my life is at the moment, but I've been looking at ways I might get the ball rolling again when my life settles down a wee bit.

I'm off over to [profile] alibongo's again this weekend,  for an impromptu Alias Smith and Jones get-together - then staying at my mum's for the rest of the week where I'm hoping to get some actual writing done (stop sniggering at the back!) I might finally get to do some solid work on my book (as opposed to twenty minutes snatched here and there) and get those two Moonridge fics back underway after a long time languishing. I'm really looking forward to it.

In the meantime, to cheer myself up, here's a happy pic from a great weekend.

I hope your Real Life calms down soon.
Me too! Tis a pain. I'm SERIOUSLY tired today and had planned for a nice quiet day; just me and a sofa and my laptop. Forgot about my acupuncture appointment, which led to Bolton's roadworks and subsequent issues with traffic; then the drains blocked (again) and we had to get dynorod in (again). And the washing machine broke down - again.

Such joy.

::giggles, but with a slightly unnerving hysterical edge::

How about yourself? Have you heard back from the doc yet (or is this old news I've missed)?

Wow! All that and roadworks too? Next time, stay in and lock the door. Sorry about the drains and the washing machine though. :o(

::hugs Gilly tightly and sends good vibes her way::

As for me, I'm seeing the neurologist on Thursday to discuss the results. I still don't know what the results say - I'll find out on Thursday. I'm worried, nervous and rather jittery about it all.

I also meant to say (but got interrupted mid-reply and forgot) that at least I've paid for my ticket for the Sentinel UK con! I'm sooo excited over it. :oD

YAY!!!!!
We passed The Belfry on the way down to see Richard; we gave it a squee ::G::
(Gilly, getting all excited again, starts to bounce slightly in anticipation).
