Its been a while

Its been a while since I checked my blog, and its also been a while since I rode my bike. After the breakdown, it turned out that it was the alternator at fault, not the battery, and having little money we had to find second hand spares as brand new was astronomical. I only just got it all sorted about a month ago, but now its cold and its dark and I've lost my bike mojo for the winter.

I'm quite gutted because I just composed this post about what's been going on with me lately and then my computer had a fit and I've lost the lot. Tra-la-la.

I've had quite a down on lately, about many things. Things going back to my childhood that have been haunting me, but mostly about my current situation, with work, with the world, with my aching bloody joints and about my lack of children. That's just an overview - I shan't bore anybody with the details.

I've been knitting a lot lately which has really helped my mind settle and refocus. I'd say I've started to brighten up the last few days, but the problems still remain. I guess I'll cope better though if I see the good rather than focus on the bad.

I've not been on the blog for ages for one reason and one reason only. I used to access it in my lunch hour, sat at my soul-less desk in my soul-less job. But the lovely people in the IT department put up a new firewall and now my blog is blocked from my work computer.

So, I'm here, on a cold Sunday night, at home with the open fire roaring behind me as I type. I should really be more organised though and have a think about what I want to say before I come here and just talk rubbish.

Anyway, if anybody is reading, I hope you all have a lovely week.
