I feel all out of touch...

[panik]

...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 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.

LOL. Yes it IS great!

(could you possibly say who the three of you are? Cause I save pics of online friends and I want to label it correctly. If that's okay?)

Sure. L-R; in the orange top, looking like my nan, is me ::G::, in the red silk blouse, Alison, aka alibongo, Richard (duh!) then Sue.

Your Nan must be a nice looking lady! =>}

Thanks! =>}

LOL. Well, she's been gone for 25 years, but I'm sure, if she were here, she'd appreciate the complement!

It's not the most flattering pic of any of us. We'd all been tramping up and down a mountain for 5 hours; it was very hot, we all got sunburned and the bright light of day does nothing for the wrinkles. But... it's Richard! and I'm thinking, who's going to be looking at me, anyway? ::G::

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

Indeed! And those of us who ARE looking at you, are mostly thinking about how darned lucky you are to be there!!! *g*

Heh heh heh. I know... I know... I can't deny it; we had a spankingly good weekend. I wouldn't have missed it for anything. ::sigh::

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

"spankingly". Heh heh! How did you know that was one of my kinks? ;>}

I wouldn't miss HEARING about your weekend for anything, either. Thanks so much again for sharing it all with us. =>}

I'm glad you liked it, hon! Nice to know my work is being appreciated (hee)
I'm trying hard to get Monday's galleries and report up asap. In fact, I just made the considered decision not to work out, but simply shower and get on with Monday's galleries instead (o: I might get some video downloads up, too. TBH, I STILL haven't watched all the TV coverage myself yet (yup, I've been THAT busy! ::G::)

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

Wow! You really HAVE been busy!

Looking forward to all of that! =>}
