I'm not a big fan of blogging about life things. In my latest attempt to get back into a habit of updating this site, it's not a direction I want to go in. Bottom line: my life isn't very interesting compared to most. I'm an introvert who lives alone. Not exactly rich subject matter.
However. Since it's been a long time since the last substantive update, and some things have changed in my life, and I may — may — have a couple of readers who don't know this stuff, I think — just this once — it's worth putting all the personal stuff into one post. I'll try to keep the words to a minimum.

I still work full time doing things like this:
some days in the office and some days at home, but my commute to work, instead of an hour twenty of this:
is now (come rain or shine) thirty minutes of this:
I'm still with the same employer, though we've moved to new locations twice. The original premises, where I worked for three years, now look like this (thanks to Asda):
Living alone I'm learning a lot about cooking:
and I try to walk as much as I can:
but I do sit on my backside a lot too and play games:
and do crosswords, and watch movies, and surf the web.
I'm on here:
where I try to post stuff like this:
and I'm on here:
where I try to post stuff like this:
and, as I mentioned, I plan to post more on here again:
but if you look for me on here:
you'll be unsuccessful.
So, yeah. Life's pretty good, all in all. I'm not sure why I thought you would want to know all this, but there it is; now let us not speak of this again.
