Prolonged Silence

I was convinced that I had lost the login details for this blog. But, leafing through the small notebook in which I (uncharacteristically organised, for me) jot down the various usernames, passwords, and other noodlings that most websites seem to need, I found them. So, here I am, lucky reader; back to waste more electrons.

Since my last post:

• Bought new HP quad core computer (Ha! For this?! No, fool, for Photoshop; loveliest program of them all)
  
• Not using Linux for the moment, but Vista (what a letdown)
• Haven't sailed since end of November (coward)
• Have completed Times cryptic crossword once, got halfway through four times, got no clues at all at least ten times (is it my brain, or the crossword, that's so variable?)
• Completed Reading Half Marathon in 1:43:30. Fell over in front of several thousand people near the end, but rewarded with a big cheer when I got up, glasses askew, blood leaking from massive elbow graze.

More anon.
