..oh yes it has, far too long.
Well it started off with generally "feeling out of sorts" in early December, then came the flu between Chrimbo and the New Year, and from that it seems I'm a little prone to blood clots.
I had a DVT last year which wasn't particularly nice, then after my flu went in early Jan I still felt congested and had trouble breathing. So off to the docs I went, he couldn't find much wrong. Thing got a little tough a few days later so off I went to A&E on the 10th.......and got out on the 15th. I had multiple Pulmonary Embuli (I think that's the plural), basically blood clots in the lungs. Now back on the old rat poison and unable to enjoy a decent knees up *HUMPH*.
Even worse..I've not been able to attend any of my guitar lessons since early December and haven't really been up to any practice at home. I guess I've a new challenge for this New Year.
....whilst on the slow hour drive to Heathrow this morning, that after spending most of the past 7 years commuiting nearly every day, I really fancy doing something a little different.

Well they say you should do something every day that you've never done before, so instead of stealing a cow or growing a tomato plant I thought I'd give this blogging thing a go. It would of course be useful if I had something intelligent and useful to share, but I haven't. Instead I thought I'd share my day so far.
The day started at the usual time of 05:15. I'm not sure why that has become the usual time, just I suffer from having very strange sleep patterns. I think it's got something to do with either one or both of our 6 month old kittens chewing and clawing at my feet. Always gives me the feeling that maybe they want feeding! So they got fed!
It was then iTunes for a half hour, randomly searching for some new stuff that I may just like whilst filling my macs keyboard with toast crumbs. Todays downloaded album was The Derek Trucks Band which I listened to when I got the office 2 hours early.
I'm now sitting here at 11ish wandering what to do next as I seemed to have cleared the days work out the way. Amazing what can be done in the few hours before anybody else turns up. I guess it may be down to clearing that pile of "boring stuff" out the way. I think most people have such a pile?
