Like mildew or bills, I always return.

Greetings, one and all. I have managed to get this blog up and running again after it was hacked by, well, hackers. If you received any emails from me recommending you buy some Rolex watches, apologies. Normal transmission will now resume.

So, what have I been up to? Well, it’s the start of term in UCD, so that keeps me going. I still swim at least three times a week. My little boy is up and running about. He is just rather lovely, and would happily get rid of his Mum and Dad if he could just hang out with his grandfather more.

Despite my decision to not take on anything during this season, I found myself writing an entry for Susan Lanigan’s competition http://walkingonthinice.org/. This is such an important topic, and Susan is such a lovely person, that I couldn’t but submit an entry. And putting pen to paper and getting something ready has been such a joy that I really have been unable to stop. So I’m busily writing as much as I can, and frankly life is much more pleasant for it. Lots of things are expected over the next few months, so I will keep you posted as we go.

Any way, listen to me blathering on. How are you? How’s the bunions, the lumbago, the dodgy back? How’s the commute to work, the lunch time scene, the coffee house drama? How is the love life, the comedy nights, the background dialogue? What’s happening with you, my lovelies? Not to pry, mind.

Right. Have to get this week started. Talk to you soon!
