I'll be back

Apologies to you all for my extended absence. Despite my various (and increasingly aggravating) wrangles with the fine institution that is British (razzin' frazzin') Telecom I find myself still muddling onwards without a telephone, let alone the adsl connection to which I aspire. Consequently I've been left feeling a little disconnected of late. It's not been quite as bad as I initially feared it might be, since I've at least had the distractions of unpacking and arranging my various belongings to keep me busy, but given what I've recently discarded, the remainder can only occupy me for so long and I'll admit I'm near the end of my tether. I want my internet connection darnit! Of course, I do have access from work, but it's not quite the same, and I feel ever so slightly guilty writing this when I should be working.

Still I'm heading home to Edinburgh this weekend, so at least I can look forward to some other diversions to keep me busy. With luck and the grace of fortune I should have a phone line again this coming Thursday, at which point I'll resume my regular posting schedule (and no doubt I'll have to bear the critism of poor blog for my truancy).

In the meantime feel free to amuse yourselves. Or better yet, amuse me. It'll help keep my mind off my plight.
