Now then…

It’s been a quiet month so far.  The prospect of some work in Tunbridge Wells has been looming large on the horizon for some time, pre-empting a few emails and phone calls, but not yet materialising into something tangible; some actual, proper work that I can get stuck in to.

So far, this year, I’ve only done three days’ (nights’) work, down in Andover. As such, I’ve been going a bit stir crazy, stuck at home.

So, I’ve tried to keep busy… well, a bit.  The dining room has been redecorated and I’ve started work on my next caching project, which will probably take a few months to put together, although now that I’ve sorted out the software issue (thanks to my mate, Dave… C++ coding not being a strong point of mine), it should now be quite straightforward. Yeah right!

Blogging has also been quiet of late too, but that’s mainly because I have had nothing of much interest to write about. I’m sure that neither of you would be interested in reading the day-to-day events of my currently torpid lifestyle.

But hopefully that will change soon, because in a week and a half it will be February, and you both know what that means!

Last year I was joined in my month-long blogathon by Graham, Brennig and Dave, who all rose to the challenge magnificently – especially Dave, who blogged continuously for three months… the mad fool. I don’t think he ever recovered!

I don’t know if they’ll be joining me this year (I do hope so) or whether any other bloggers out there are willing to join us and swell the ranks (ooer, missus) or, I may even end up doing it on my own again, but either way I can promise you both a month-long rollercoaster of blogging highs and lows.

Mainly lows, I’d wager.

    Ooh, February blogathons! Love it, looking forward to reading – hoping that Dave does it again too.

  2. Brennig Says:

    Getting excited by the prospect of work in Tunbridge Wells? Umm. *racks brains* There used to be some good eateries in Tunbridge Wells. A dozen years ago. And, erm, no, sorry, that’s all I’ve got.

    Blogging has also been quiet of late too, but that’s mainly because I have had nothing of much interest to write about. I’m sure that neither of you would be interested in reading the day-to-day events of my currently torpid lifestyle.
    Oh, I’d be interested. This is the exclusive version of Celebrity Big Brother, you know!

    But yes, I’ll be joining you in your blogathonandonandonandon.

    Bren – I’m a celebrity? Ooh, get me out of here.

    And thanks.

    Toffeeapple – thanks for your support. I’ll let you have it back when I’ve finished with it, of course.

    I nerly mentioned the coming Blogathon in a post the other day, but as I actually haven’t posted once this year and only six times in the last three months I couldn’t be arsed. But yes, I shall gird my loins (luckily no pictures) and join you. But this year it is definitely a “one month only” offer! Unless of course…..

  5. Masher Says:

    Of course, Dave.

    And thanks… I look forward to a month of Kennamatic goodness!

  6. Graham W Says:

    Similarly to Dave I too have been remiss of adding new posts over recent months; I think last years contribution, with the extra leap day too, was the peak of my blogging capabilities and it’s been all downhill since.

    I am therefore going to have to decline in joining the blogathon this year.

    Good luck to one and all though…

  7. Masher Says:

    OK mate, no worries. We won’t look down on you.

    Honest.

    BTW… car sorted now? I was kinda expecting a post from you on that sorry little saga.

  8. Juliette Says:

    Looking forward to it! Unfortunately I don’t have the patience to stick to anything for a month or I’d be right beside you!

  9. Masher Says:

    Yeah… I believe you.

    Maybe.

    But it’ll be good to know there will be a couple more readers at least. It ain’t easy coming up with a post every single day, for a month, so be prepared to read some serious rubbish!

  10. Denise Says:

    Oooooooh I say! I’ll join in – what do we have to do? By the way I notice from your picture you have a motorbike? Tell All. Seasoned bikers here – well, I am the poor soul who sits on the back and tries to stay on! We have a CB1300 and a fireblade which hubby streetfighted!

  11. Masher Says:

    Hi Denise,

    Oh yes, you are more than welcome to join in. The rules are quite simple: you just have to make a post on your blog everyday throughout the month of February, without repetition, hesitation or deviation. Well, maybe a little repetition is allowed! Probably quite easy for a prolific poster like yourself, but for us lackadaisical types…

    And yes, I have a bike, but not the one shown in my avatar, that’s a Triumph Thunderbird, but I now have a Bonneville America. There’s a pic here. A CB1300 eh? I always fancied having its predecessor the 1000, but the Fireblade is a bit too boy racer for me!
