Finally back online

A busy few weeks, hence my silence...

I moved to new digs nearly three weeks ago. It's only now that we have got online. Before that there were a couple of sporadic attempts to jump on the back of someone's unsecured wireless network, but the signal was very weak.

I had to hire a car to do the move of all my possessions, and did a fair few trips between London and Bedfordshire to drop things off at my new flat, and also to leave a few things in storage at my Grandma's house.

Saturday 8th September I truly didn't know if I was coming or going. I was up at 0630 and had spent virtually all of the day packing the car (4-5 loads, I lost count), driving, sitting in traffic jams, unpacking, cleaning the old flat etc. I finally 'finished' the move at about 2300 hours, and then collapsed on my bed just after midnight completely exhausted and almost delirious. I hadn't even managed to eat anything until about half three in the afternoon when we stopped at a drive-thru Macdonalds of all places, to refuel my body and brain. I very rarely eat Macdonalds...only when I am really desperate - and this was one of those days! They're hardly a pinnacle of green-conscious living, but then it's hard to be very green when you're moving house whilst also embarking on a fairly stressful period in ones life (it's not just been a flat move which has been stressing me out!)

Well, now I am online properly and I will start putting entries on my blog much more regularly.
