Hello, yes, I am back from Abroad, and yes, there will be photos*. And anecdotes. No poems. It would seem I channel the Poetic Muse through my sinuses and alas they were being used to store several pints of snot for the duration. Holidaying with a cold. Fantabulous. I have spent the few days since I returned hanging upside down from the roof-beams in a desperate attempt to drain said facial cavities, possibly inspired by reading Dracula while under the influence of Guinness and Flu-Plus. And doing laundry. Oh, bone-aching tedium.
I will now attempt to wrestle said anecdotage into readable form, so that you, oh faithful readers, will actually read it. And then we can get back to whining about writing.
*Apparently blogs need photos to be all attractive and ’sticky’ (clever-dick technical term for the sort of blog people will keep reading, I am told. Ick). What on earth can I photograph of relevant? My favourite biro? The state of the desk? The great love of my life, my coffee machine? Any thoughts, faithful readers?
Anecdotes would be good. I dearly love your way with an anecdote.

You could photograph your pints of snot.
Sorry, I always thouht my first contribution to this site would be more erudite, but there you go. Baby steps.

Well, as long as your desk isn’t obsessively tidy, I’m sure I’d gain great satisfaction from seeing it.

If it is obsessively tidy, we will have to gang up on you.
I will continue reading regardless of photos (and you’ve made me panic about my own lack of photoness in my blog), so you don’t need to worry about that!

There is no desk. There is a pile of gubbins and a half-buried a computer, remaining mysteriously at waist-height with no sign of a surface to rest on.
Am I safe?
Hi, Eddie. Erudite? Here? Worse than tidy desks. You’ll get ganged up on. By me. For showing me up for the lazy whiner I truly am.
(That reminds me. Must force Reed to re-read Titus Andronicus)

[…] Yes, really. Like I said, cold. Remember I channel literary inspiration through my sinuses. […]
