I seem to manage a blog about every month or so these days. I'm not quite sure when life got so busy, or maybe its just that I don't feel that whats happening is worthy of sharing. I don't know. But I thought I should pay a visit and try to get myself back into this blogging thing. I do miss it.
So anyway, whats new you ask? Thats just it, I don't know. And when you get out of the habit of blogging regularly, you feel like you have to have something amazingly earth shattering to say or it seems like an anticlimax.
Well, I've had a busy couple of months running up and down the country.. feels like I've not really been at home properly at all! Since my last blog, I've had... a weekend in London with my parents, seeing the Renoir landscapes exhibition in the National Gallery, and the Watersons in the Albert Hall... a lovely long weekend in Paris, with (partly) glorious sunshine (and a fantastic thunderstorm thrown in for good measure!) and good company :D, a good mix of sightseeing and sitting around doing nowt :) ... and a weekend at home for my *youngest* cousins wedding! A lovely service in the Catholic Church I went to as a child, and glorious weather all day. A nice chance to catch up with the family, aside from the 'you're next' comments (err, not just yet I'm not!). Add to that three trips to Birmingham for various SCM stuff, at least two (unsuccessful) job applications, a Local Preachers meeting (as a visitor, not quite that mad yet!) and a fair amount of working, and you don't get much time leftover. Phew. I feel tired just thinking about it.
And just to keep up the trend, I'm away this weekend in Sheffield for the SCM summer gathering, where I get to hand over my responsibility (and maybe swap it for a different one..) and see this delightful (!) city for the first time. I have a feeling it won't be the last. Day off tomorrow, I might manage to breathe a little before I go off again. I'll try to stop by a little more regularly, feel free to prod me if I dissappear again!
