The observant among you will have noticed I haven’t blogged in a while. There are a few reasons for this, which are outlined below. Firstly, though, can I say I’m disappointed that I haven’t been inundated with “please post a blog post” emails. Shame on you, my wide & varied readership, although it seems that at least one reader of this blog has been doing her best to get my attention. Well, not just mine, but you’ll see at the end of the post…<\/p>\n
So – why no blog. Firstly, the good reason(s) – we’ve been really busy at work, building up the business, and I’ve been working a lot in the evenings. When I haven’t been working I’ve been sleeping. Get me, the crazy stop-out.<\/p>\n
Also, the camera I like to use to take pictures of WIPs to post went AWOL after Steve went to conference. I only found it in the back of his car a week and a half ago, and still have to track down the battery charger. So it’s iPhone photos only for the moment, it seems, which is a lot less stylish & good-looking than pretty much any “proper” blogger you care to mention. If I got a chance to take photos when it isn’t either dingy or dark it might help, but I’m home at dusk and weekends are traditionally briefly sunny on Sunday mornings when the faithful are in church (can you tell I’m reaching now?).<\/p>\n
Other reasons – we’ve had a series of mini disasters happen, the extent of which leads me to think that either we haven’t been praying hard enough or one of use broke a mirror. Or maybe it’s just Our Turn. Here we go:<\/p>\n
Apparently, these things are sent to try us. I take consolation in the fact that in the work we do, we are solving problems similar to these for other people on a daily basis. And we do it without sucking our teeth.<\/p>\n
And now, if you play this blog post backwards at 72rpm, you will hear exactly what I think of the latest political shitstorm to hit West<\/a> Lancashire<\/a>. If I spell it out here, even briefly and at a high level, I will almost certainly be threatened with expulsion again. Happy to be a member of The Labour Party. Happy, happy, happy.<\/p>\n (I think if you hold it up to the light as well, you can also see the relatively innocuous things I wrote, and then deleted on the same grounds, those being that they aren’t really very innocuous at all)<\/p>\n Back to the knitting, next!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The observant among you will have noticed I haven’t blogged in a while.
