It has been over six months since I last wrote anything of substance here, and a great many things have changed. There’s been a great many things happen that deserved to be commented on, but I haven’t had the chance. So, this post is an attempt to get The Wolf’s Howl up to speed on the world around us.
First off, me. I’ve moved house – twice. Sold my flat of several years residence and moved in with my girlfriend. But in between, I spent a few weeks lodging with my girlfriend’s brother. The reasons why are long and complicated and I can’t be bothered to go into them, but suffice to say that everything’s all sorted now. However, the whole process meant that I was without my computer for quite some time, hence the lack of content going up here.
For the last few weeks, I’ve been doing couple-y type things: decorating, tidying, clearing out and so on. And then last week, I went out and bought myself a new motorbike:
So there’s lot more reasons why I couldn’t get onto the computer. I find, though, that having a life is so much more enjoyable! I’m really not missing the life I used to lead, which mainly consisted of sitting in front of the computer screen looking pale and unhealthy.
Well, that’s brought you up to date on me. What’s happened in the world that’s worth commenting on?
1 In case you haven’t noticed, the UK now has a new coalition government. We finally kicked out the inept Mr Brown who nobody voted for… to replace him with a Conservative / Liberal almalgm that nobody voted for. So far, it’s a little early to tell whether we’ve swapped one bunch of losers for another, but at least there seems to be some honesty about them: “we need to make some heavy cuts to public spending and we’re going to do it.” Only time will tell.
2 A certain Mr Schumacher is back in F1, and seems to be back to his old tricks. His season has not been particularly good – the car isn’t performing like it did last year, and his team mate is consistently out performing him – but that hasn’t stopped him trying to run people off the road like the good old days. I’m sure Damon Hill knows exactly how Reubens Barrichello feels.
3 The natural world seems to be out to get us, with floods in Pakistan and earth slides in China in the last few days. Perhaps it’s Mother Nature’s way of paying us back for all the oil that’s been spilt by BP recently.
