Still here at a ripe old age.

Well, it’s been some considerable time since I last blogged, a period of time that can best be explained away by the fact that I dried up (post-wise, not literrally) roughly the same time I discovered Twitter. I know it’s platitudinous to enthuse about anything on the Internet, but I love Twitter. It requires virtually no upkeep to work well, and you can just dip in and out at your own leisure. Marvellous.
Now, the other main occurrence to have befallen me during my absence is that I have shifted up a decade. I am now thirty, something that managed to be terrifying and nothing to write home about all at the same time.
I can be quite proud, however. Back a few years ago when Iwas sharing a house with people younger than myself and smoking myself into a stoned stupor on a nightly basis, immersing myself in a life of sheer geek enjoyment, I did so on the understanding that it didn’t really matter because I would get my life in order before the big 30 hit. And for the most part, I have. Career is certainly no better than it was a few years back (although Ilike this place a lot more than my last job) but that is being addressed by my Open Uni degree. In any other area of note, things are going pretty well. I love my girls immensely, and am at a point in my life where I wake up in the morning happy and contented in any number of ways. Oh, and I recently had a lovely little mini holiday in Llangollen.
So that’s you all caught up. I am going to try and ensure normal service is resumed again, and shall henceforth try and, you know, be funny. About things. Like, for instance, governmental departments providing links to porn on their websites. In fact, I don’t need to say anything funny about that.
Welcome to near middle-age. HB.
Thank you. I can now officially complain about ‘bloody kids and their stupid clothes’.
