I know I know, I took a small holiday from writing the blog,
for no other reason than, well I could, what are you lot going to do sue me?
yeah probably some of you would LOL!
I wasn’t happy after the last blog as it festered away, it
finally did good numbers, but it wasn’t the runaway success that some of the
blogs had been, so I thought sod it, have a break, I didn’t get no Kit Kat
though…. bugger! I was confused as it did barely double figures in the first three
days I really thought I had written a crap blog, but they picked up it simply
took longer than normal, me obsess over reader numbers……never!
So what did I do, I have been asked by you lot, do you want
the truth, well I worked then worked some more and played lots of music whilst
working just a bit more, I’m sure that you get the picture, the longer it went
the harder it was to put pen to paper, I mean I did, but nothing that floated my boat, and I certainly
didn’t want to write a bucket load of angst and depression, not that I was
feeling either of those things, I just wasn’t in a writing mood , go figure! Some
of you (as always) got your knickers in a bunch, thinking that there was
something seriously the matter there wasn’t I think I’m simply getting ready to
finish the blog (at number 500 as previously stated) and although in a strange
way I did miss the writing, it was nowhere near traumatic as I assumed its
going to be!
So, what brought me out of my funk, if you could even call
it that, well I have no idea other than the dam was breached and a shed load of
ideas floated to the top, I was finally fiscally sound (for all of 48 hours) I treated the wife to a nice if not exactly
exciting meal on Friday and it was lovely doing things that other people seem
to do, we had a wander, spent some time and some money on ourselves ……which was
nice! I bought some books and a set of headphones, I know me with my
reputation, We had a late night mercy dash to complete late at night(did I say
it was late, yes it was, it was late)
because a of public transport fubar, but in the grand scheme it all went to
plan well as much as it can with our family…….so late at night!
Yesterday was more of the same, except we had a kraken who
was unable to close her back door, please don’t ask and for those of you out
there with a filthy mind no it wasn’t a euphuism, we have a cunning plan which
we needed to source some materials, we set off to do that, it just gave us more
cunning plans we are an awkward bunch, but we then continued on our merry way and
ended up enjoying a lovely lunch (a salad I kid you not) and then a bit more
shopping (another set of headphones …..don’t ask) we ended up home later than anticipated,
then we set off to pick up our youngest (what does she think we are a bloody
taxi……..actually she doesn’t I just felt like whining like the old man that I am)
and then head off to see friends in South Shields, that’s when the dam broke lots
of fun and chat and the creative juices were flowing, the dogs were as loving
as dogs can be, and a great night was had , it was all cut too way damn short
thanks to the clocks going forward and everybody but me going off to work (hahahahahaha
I don’t have to). Although I have my own list of chores to complete as long as
my arm (so maybe not as long as I am making out!
As a last treat as we headed home I took the executive decision
to call in and get a Chinese takeaway, and as I entered through the door of my
local, I was met with what I thought was the third world war going off in the
kitchen area ( I don’t speak Chinese) a brief moment of silence followed by a
huge outburst of laughter, WTF! It was
then that they realized that I was stood at the counter waiting to place my
order, one of the daughters came through and as a way of explanation she said something
in Chinese, my obviously blank expression made her repeat what she said with a
small bit added on in English “sorry he is Chinese Billy Connolly” erm ok!
Once we were home, I snaffled off other people plates as
they never eat a full meal and I would have been bloated if I had eaten all of
a main meal for myself, honest I was being good, we all ended up doing our own
thing the daughter off to bed the, wife colouring her stress away (have you met
me!) me watching / snoozing through a Jason Statham film, go figure.
So that should be everybody caught up, that’s what I did on
my vacation, as for the blogging, my nose shall be back to the grindstone in
writing mode as soon as the numbers for this one dies down, yes I still have a few ideas to work through,
my work ethic has simply been (in a blog sense) nonexistent, it’s time to get
my big boy pants on and man up and get writing.
As always thank you for the messages of concern from the
more caring of my readers, there was nothing at all to worry about, I simply
took a side street on my blogging journey/ life, I did some family stuff and as
I said before I did some work, all In all its all good in my garden (not that I
have one, I hate gardening) after posting this and obsessing over numbers (well
until they hit triple digits) I have some house hold chores to carry out and
then a steak and kidney pudding to devour, however that’s a tale for another
blog!
The name game is in play and although a strange one for me
it is a song I like, watch for the skies for further incoming and as always,
many thanks for helping to spread the disease/ blog at least that’s how I think
that the blog does so well, because I certainly don’t have a bloody clue who
reads the bloody thing until the next time……………Toodles!
