blogging dilemmas

I have been very quiet on blogger recently. But my life hasn't. So I've come up against what I guess must be a common blogging problem. My life has been so hectic these past couple of months that I've had plenty of blogging material, but no time to blog. On top of that I've been staying most of the time at my parents house, which hasn't joined the 21st century yet, and has (shock, horror!) no internet connection. It's strange how disorientated that made me feel - I never realised just how much I relied on the internet til it wasn't there.

What have I been doing all this time? I've been on holiday in Iceland, moved from Iceland back to the UK, been on holiday to Greece, moved to Cambridge and started a new job. On the positive side I love my new job so far - really nice people, loads to do, and I'm feeling pretty useful for a change. But where would we be without some balance in life? On the negative side my boyfriend has broken his toe and is stuck in Birmingham, and since I moved into my flat in Cambridge I've been battling spiders in the living room, mould in the bedroom, flies in the kitchen and a strange smell in the bathroom. I think the hallway has remained trauma free, but only because I got my neighbour's friend to remove the spider that was living there. Still, I retain my Icelandic sense of optimism, and am hopeful that all will be well soon. I'll keep you posted ...
