So I haven't really been that good at blogging lately have I?

I'm not ashamed to say that my writing history is somewhat like a middle aged woman: changing in looks only for the worse and havings bits removed from the middle when something starts to grumble, and then denying why and what has been done to anyone who asks - only to mumble "I had some threats" under my breath when I'm pushed.

So let's be clear about what's going to happen, instead of faffing around for a few weeks pretending I'm still here while feeding you all a few tiny little bits of some uninteresting life, I'm going to take a proper, official holiday from not blogging - a period of time where I won't blog. Somewhat like when pensioners go on holiday 'to get away from it all' I'm going to carry on doing what I've been doing before but without...well, without actually doing anything.

This holiday shall last until the 9th August 2010. On the 9th, there'll be a spanking new post here for you - and then on the 10th there'll be another. Another on the 11th, and - well - you get the theme. Until the next time I say something offensive and get asked to remove it, have a strop and delete the lot. So there.

Enjoy the archive while I'm gone - but be warned, if you run a local shop or are event manager for a local village event I was previously involved with, some of the content that offended you might be hanging around.

George Galloway need not worry.
