Back, temporarily....

Hey people...

You may have noticed I'd gone a bit quiet of late....I said I'd be back with you early July but have had a mishap with my internet connection at home, much to my extreme annoyance. My phone line got shut down by mistake and I've lost my link to the virtual world. I'm still trying to get it sorted. I can access the net at work but because blogs are deemed to be "social networking" sites and not study-related they're banned in the college, hence I can't get on my blog there, either. Of course, I could always go to an internet cafe, which is where I'm writing from now... However frankly my dear I'm too tight and can't be ar*sed to make regular visits to do that ... Please excuse me, I'm in a bit of a narkey mood today ...

Meanwhile, I have one important piece of news to impart which is:

I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!

On my second attempt, which really isn't bad going, eh?? I came within a hair's breadth of failing (too many minor faults), however I'm still thankful for getting through. And as someone who only started to learn driving at the age of 39 I really didn't do too badly...next step is buying a (cheap) car!! Hoorah!!

What else? Finished my fun marking work and now have more time on my hands, thank the lord. Going on hols to Amsterdam in a few weeks, which will be good. I have visited several times but my hubbie's never been.

Against my will, I have been sucked into the vortex of Big Brother, after a few years of abstaining. Marcus is a horrid aggressive mullet-haired moron who I'd love to see evicted (personally I think Sree should have stayed and the mullet head should have gone...) Noireen comes across as an up-herself Irish girl who thinks she's the bee's knees. Charlie's quite fit but dare I say seems a bit dim sometimes. And his regular bickering sessions/spats with Rodrigo smacks of very gay behaviour. Rodrigo is quite a sulky little thing too! Mmmm I'm in a charitable mood today...Are any of you following BB 10? (Oh quite liked the challenges with the old BB members putting in appearances too, such as maaaaad Nicky ...)

Well think that's about it for now ... just wanted to say HI and let you know I'm still alive, my lovely ones ...

And I trust all is well with you ...!!

Be back properly soon hopefully, in the meantime here is some light and cheesey music...
