Cripes, been a long time since I’ve blogged. Work, as ever, takes responsibility for my crapness (as well as my ongoing addiction to DotA: oh, ok, so its my own fault).

It has been busy: sorting out plumbing nightmare, organising birthday celebs (for Nov!) preparing for parents abortive trip to London (now postponed…), failing to get my shinsplints pounded with ultrasonic waves — despite some efforts. And doing some reading – have finished Zadie Smith’s newest book now – which I loathed and was compelled by simultaneously. A more complete post on that later on…

Also finished Ian Irvine’s “View from the Mirror” series… which, while being really really badly written, was a great story. Looking forward to starting the Geomancer series next…
