It's been a while since I've written. Almost THREE weeks. So Here is the quick precis of this time...

A week off work. Saw My daughter and my son. She's very very chatty - never shuts up. Always asking questions. Intensely curious. She looks at the side of my neck, squints and asks "what's that?". "Whats what?" I say. "What's that?" she says again, point. At my mole. My son? He smiles a lot. And laughs. And giggles and plays. He's just utterly munchable. And I miss them both.

I did some shopping. Watched a few movies. Listened to a lot of music.Waited for buses. Had to report a bus driver for goign through a red light and being abusive towards customers. Hate having to do that. Did A lot of washing up. Also did a lot of tidying up. had to repair a wardrobe, which had had some internal shelving collapse due to dowling beign too long - and that took ages with a number of different solutions employed (mostly ineffectively), including a roll of gaffer tape, some carpet tape and eventually....a staplegun. Rock And Roll.

Had a couple of day trips away. Bought a digital camera. You won't see the pictures here, though. no pictures of me on here. And a bass guitar. Mid Life crisis, I guess. Or perhaps to make up for the one the ex-wife sold for beer money, the bass that I bought with saved up pocket money and also as a christmas present from my mum when i was 15. And what else? oh, a coat.

Then i saw my daughter and my son again. My daughter is very very chatty and bossy, and called peoples noses "honk nongs".

Possibly a gig on Sunday - and i can't believe how embarrassingly naff it is - a side project of ELO II with half of ELO playing old ELO hits in a reformed, nostalgia, trip. I bet i'd be the youngest person there by 25 years. That the Orchestra for you. But im secretly a fan of ELO.

Ah, life, it's not what I thought it was.
