Hmmmm. It's a long time since I was here. At my age it took several nanoseconds to register the changes.

Are they worth it? Is the new better than the old? If it aint broke why fix it shot through my mind. However, for medical research purposes I decided to give it a go. This is how you keep young I guess- experiment, be daring, change, do 70 situps.

I am gobsmacked that I got replies to my previous post last September. No-one reads my posts. Except two people. As I didnt think anyone did read them I have only just found this out.

*waving at my two contributors* thanks!!!

So what's up- well I shall put up a link ( if I can work out how to) to my Novel Experiences blog- cos that sort of sums up what's up. Novels- well script writing at present. I am also working on an anthology contribution. My novel is simmering on the back burner.

Perhaps I shall combine the two blogs- very wasteful to have two really in these days of global warming, sustainability and so forth.

I have to think of a suitable name though.....MA-dness ( I'm doing an MA and I'm mad) AlMAMater - I'm doing an MA, I'm mad and I'm a mother. Hmmmmmmm.

Talking of being a mother. No 1 son is home from his world travels. ( Well he came home last September). I think he had a good time, despite splitting up with his long term girlfriend. Every photo has him with his arm around a girlie and a pint in his hand. It's a hard life. But he's trying ( ??!!) - he has a second round interview for a graduate job next week and a first round assessment for another job in March. He's a very nice boy ( although I say it myself - well I would - wouldn't I? ) But it's time to move on. He needs a place of his own and a life away from home.

He is very lucky when you read of all the ills in this poor sad world of ours. He might be facing a very uncertain future though if global warming does kick in with a vengence. What a mess eh?

Right, well I wont start on a rant...I shall go and try and become more sophisticated on here.

Any comments most appreciated - just to see if anyone is still out there in blogland.
