I’ve not been very consistent with, well, everything that I’ve done of late. What with real life, rushing around, falling over, aching knees, work, hair, and Christmas coming at a rate of knots that has never been recorded in the history of the Universe, sometimes things slip by.
This blog was one of those things, although I have tried my very best to keep things ticking over, but the break from posting last week was unavoidable. And desperately needed. The change, as the saying goes, was as good as a rest. The reasons for the break are still there, and there may be other breaks, but I’ll do what I can to try to avoid it.
One thing that I haven’t managed to get around to getting sorted is my hair.
I can be seen regularly walking through car parks with what can only be described as some sort of wild Cordyline plant growing out of my head. I think that’s what the plant’s called anyway, here’s a picture (on the left) of how my hair looked this afternoon on Sainsbury’s car park. Only my hair was slightly more spikier in the wind. Goodness only knows how it looked whilst I was ambling up and down the busy aisles doing my weekly shop. But, the plant looks good, so what if it’s a little overgrown?
Speaking of being overgrown, Kate Shrewsday has a good post here of how Nature reclaims, well, everything in the end.
Speaking of the wind, Laura at Unlikely Explanations has posted an entry that should go to the international wind board, if ever one was set up. Click here to see ten early warning signs about windstorms.
I have read another post today that I would like to mention, and recommend a visit to. Alannah Murphy has written a nice post about regrets, passion and doubt which speaks on so many levels. Click here to visit her blog.
And speaking of passions, Miss Demure Restraint has reminded me of cars gone by with her post here.
Before you start to wonder why I am linking to all of these great blogs, there is a reason. Another thing that I have let slip by is my commitment to a Blogging Collective, that is the brainchild of Andra Watkins. Her blog here describes more about the collective, but I did manage to set up a page for the collective before letting things slide. The link to my page for the collective is at the top of the main page of my blog and in the menu down the right hand side. Not all of the blogs I have mentioned above are part of the collective, but we are all part of the blogging community as a whole, and I think it is good to share things every now and then. Whilst I’m mentioning other blogs, have a look at my Blogs I Visit page too, for more great blogs… I couldn’t really miss them out even if I don’t mention them by name!
I’m going to end this post here as there seems to be a gathering going on again in the grounds at the back of Aquatom Mansion. I’ve just heard them all singing the Band Aid song ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’, which is normally an OK choice of song, but not one you would expect a group of monsters to sing.
I’ll fill you in on any details of this gathering in due course…
