A brief reappearance...

...to say I am so, so very sorry if it seems like I've abandoned le blog of late! First I whinge, then I vanish. It is inexcusable, but I have to offer my excuses anyway.

We've moved and all that is out of the way.

Unfortunately,

1. I'm devoting almost every waking moment to writing,

2. We STILL don't have our broadband set up (yes, Plusnet, I'm calling it. You are a bit s***),

3. So I have to do pretty much everything on my phone, including blogging, which is not easy. So I haven't done it. And probably won't until our home is a blissful wireless-ridden haven once more, and

(I love my phone. I tweet, post short updates, email and God knows what else on my phone. But writing long, (supposedly) intelligent pieces of text? No. Sorry, iPhone, I can't do it.)

4. I may or may not have a broadband connection in 2013. At the rate things are going, it's tough to say.

But AS SOON as time and the internet permits, I'll be back.

Moving sucks...

Seriously. I'm sorry to whinge, but it's killing me. There is no end to the things that need doing, and it seems like I lie awake for hours at night stressing, and the baby gets in the way, and I have no idea whether the new internet will be connected in time, and I really want to be writing but THERE'S NO TIME.

Yuck. So there I am. Grumpy and moving. Hopefully the worst will be over by next week, though!

Post-Holiday Gloom

Well, we're back from a lovely holiday, and I really don't have much to complain about. The weather's rather nice, my baby is sleeping most of the night(!) and there's a long weekend up ahead, thanks to the Queen.

Except we got home to find spiders. Yes, spiders. And I'm terrified of spiders. They'd made my home their own. Little sods.

I appeal to you, blogosphere-dwellers: how does one keep them away?!
