Well, I've been pleasantly surprised by people constantly telling me they read my blogs, I didn't realise more than about 4 people read the things, but it's nice to hear that people 'enjoy' them. I don't know what I would have done without this place, it's such a great place to sound off about things and just generally write a load of rambling bollocks too, it takes some getting in to but it comes easily after a while and becomes, especially during something like this, something to rely on in terms of the outlet it gives me. My family have appreciated them as well because they can read all my thoughts and stuff, when I've been making big decisions and stuff they have been intrigued to see what I am thinking because most of this stuff is the kind of thing you'd never spool off over the phone. My sister has found it a little weird in that she sometimes feels like she's reading my diary (which in essence, she is, but a public diary, obviously) but still likes the connection it gives her.
She had another baby boy yesterday, she had to have an emergency c-section but it all worked out well in the end. I'm touched by the fact his middle name is going to be 'Graeme'. Hopefully I'll get to see him and his brother growing up. I'm just trying to remain calm now, I've bought a few DVD box sets for Germany as I can't imagine the telly will be up to much, plumped for Rome, all the Star Trek borg episodes and the first series of The Wire. I'm off out for a drink tonight (not an alcoholic one) with some people I know tonight, ex-flatmate and a lovely couple the missus knows, see how long I last before I feel knackered. I'm canny knackered now actually, oh to have more energy, I'll drink a couple of pints of coke, that should perk me up.
This number is a little tedious really isn't it? sorry about that |
