Post now or forever hold your peace

I am alive, I've just been absolutely terrible at posting. I have a job and a home, although both are short-term affairs.

Living near work hasn't helped my arrival time. I'm actually weirdly pleased to have the pressure of work back again.

I've seen a lot of Kiwis lately. I may even live with one soon. Half of Canterbury appears to have moved into south-west London. I've had a few big phone catch-ups with old friends, but even when the connection is OK, timezone differences get in the way.

The curse of Cozzie's cohorts continues. Drinking with her is a risky business, it seems!

Three in a row for Australia. Misunderstandings from the past, sorted. An armless knock-down fight, then only minds.

And finally

Happy birthday, Izzy!
