Asleep for 11 months.... I wish!

So on the face of it I've been a lazy old sod, having been nowhere near this blog since January, and here we are staring yet another new year in the face! In reality I've been tied up with lots of work (til now at least!)including some new commissions and, excitingly, signing up as a volunteer member of the editorial team with the British Naturalists Society. The idealist in me loves the thought of working to do a bit of good rather than making hefty profits (for others, not for myself!) so I've got a tick in the smug box for that one.
Working with PR students in Leicester has also opened up new doors of interest for me, not least discovering it's important to get to grips with my blog!

Back in five..... (honest)

is it that time already?

Blimey, who would have thought it... you turn your back for five minutes and the whole of January's flashed before your eyes! Almost time for my birthday and a review of where I am and where I am going. Up to the eyes in work at the moment, which is good, but still vital to take stock and plan ahead. Have not been feeling well lately - seem able to sleep anywhere, any time. But now the nights are getting lighter that should change.
News of Jeremy Beadle's death has moved me to tears, a reaction that has taken me by surprise. I think it's because that show Game for a Laugh was ingrained as part of my growing up - it really feels like grieving. What a shame someone who did so much and was pilloried while attracting millions of viewers should slip from us without so much as three cheers or a thank you? Cheers, Beadlebum... thanks for the laughter and more.
