And So...

October is almost over too, ARGH! However, this signals Bonfire Season, and where I'm from this is a big deal and lots of fun too! So, I hope to be updating my blog more frequently over the next few months, and Bonfire is likely to be a good starting topic for November, so watch this space...

September

I say not much else happened in August, but somehow I didn't seem to stop being busy!

September was better, with more interesting things happening like my turning a quarter of a century old, my oh my, and my youngest brother starting university, eep! How time flies!

It was also the release of Muse's new album. Whilst not as good as the last one, it's a grower, and me likes it :)

August

Well July ended with my mostly being sick after my wisdom teeth operation, thanks to the cocktail of painkillers and antibiotics I had to take *grumble* But during that time my left cheek de-swelled and I began to look less and less like Popeye, phew!

And then I started my new job in local government! It's been a very interesting and quite exciting time, and I'm learning a lot. Of course, I get to do a lot of boring jobs, but also there's a lot of fun and challenging stuff.

Other exciting developments were two of my closest girlfriends getting engaged to their respective men in the same weekend! I am very happy for couples, and 2010 is already looking to be rather full of weddings, huzzah!

Speaking of weddings, we popped into the evening reception of another of my old sixth-form friends, on a balmy evening towards the end of the month. Probably the shortest amount of time I've ever spent at a wedding, as whilst I knew the bride, and we'd been good friends at college, we felt a bit lost. The bride looked stunning in her outfit, and it was wonderful to see her again, as it's been a couple of years, and it looked like they had had a fantastic day. But we had rocked up after seeing my youngest brother perform spectacularly as Bagheera in his local youth drama society's open-air production of 'The Jungle Book'. Despite the frequent interference of wasps at the picnic (they were so determined to get drunk on our wine!), it was a jolly good show! So we turned up at this reception looking a bit like we'd just had a tumble in the hay bales of some random stable on the way there - although we were smart(ish) we had been lolling on the grass, sipping wine, while enjoying the show under the afternoon sun, and then we had traipsed through a couple of miles of country lanes to get the wedding reception. Still, that's kind of how late summer days should be. An amateur open-air play, getting lost in our Sunday best down isolated country lanes, and then awkwardly drinking coffee in the corner of a marquee at a wedding where we hardly know anyone, and then disappearing, giggling, into the night, to jaunt back down an unlit road to the parents' house for a cup of tea... *sigh* You can tell we're getting old can't you? Just can't handle our nights out like we could in our youth can we? ;)

Long Time, No Blog...

Aha, yes, I have not blogged for over two months *slaps wrists*. Life has been very busy and I feel a bit like I've lost track of time. I love being busy but I don't like it when I can't find any time to myself, not even to write a blog entry, and that's what it is has been like for me recently.

So, here's to my return to the blogging world, and to all two of my readers - who are both great I might add :D

I shall start with a couple of updates on the past few weeks.
