Looking forward to that…

OK so I’ve been away from the blogosphere for a while - well sort of - I’ve been producing the BBC Jersey Island Games blog written by the stations Assistant Editor from Rhodes, but I haven’t been writing my own blog for a while.

Which means I haven’t been able to talk about anything in the media world that’s been happening - I’ve just been sat on my own in a hot office for 14 hours a day working on ’sports’ content.

But that’s all over now and I can get back to the land of the living - well digital anyway.

I’ve been thinking about my first post back for a while and what form it should take, what I should talk about, whether it should be at the same time as a new blog template or not - and then I couldn’t think of anything to write, am too tired to create a new theme and don’t have the enthusiasm for any research.

So my first post back is a sort of long winded hello, it’s basically the blog version of saying ‘back’ in the same way that my last post was the blog version of saying ‘brb‘ when I had to leave things for a week or so.

I do have other posts planned and saved in my draft list - things I’ve wanted to blog about over the last week but haven’t had time to write in full - but i’m not sure I’ll ever get around to them.

The Draft List in Wordpress is a brilliant idea - in principle - but it suffers the same problems as other brilliant ideas - ME - because I’m able to save a post as draft and come back to it - I end up with dozens of half started blog posts that I forget why I started in the first place and end up deleting a week later.

Anyway, I’ve moved house - we found a fab three bedroom Edwardian town house within our budget that, despite a few little faults - is fantastic and just what we wanted.

I’ve got the WiFi set up and working throughout the house and ‘garden’ and have Sky+ which I can’t imagine ever not having now - it’s just amazing.

I still need to sort out my boxes of books sitting next to my desk and the hundreds of DVDs sitting in the DVD cupboard in completely the wrong order - It’s been annoying me since my wife put them there) but other than that things are working well.

I’ve even had a go at DIY - I put the new wall lights in and even managed to wire the oven to the wall - I’ve always paid someone to do that before.

I guess it’s true what they say about hitting 25 (I’m 26 in two weeks) - I’ve even thought about buying a shed!

Oh and I’ve also pretty much switched from My Space to Facebook as my social community of choice - if you want to get hold of me just add me as a friend on Facebook - I’ll accept all requests unless you’re a spammer - then you can go put yourself in a blender
