Stitch This

So, the house is quiet and empty after a whirlwind visit by my sisters, offspring and the chaos that adding my two monkeys creates. They left today and ELder and Little One are at Sports Camp and Nursery respectively. Me? I’m slurping noodles over a hasty lunch, deeply regretting hanging out the washing as, 2 minutes later, the heavens went black and hail bounced off my lovely sheets. That was just after a pigeon pooped over the first sheet I hung up. My reaction? Unprintable.

Anyway, it was lovely to see everyone, we don’t get together very often unfortunately. We stayed up way too late and drank too much wine but hey, that’s what it’s all about isn’t it? Why am I telling you all this? Well, after 2 years of blogging I FINALLY got round to telling them of my nom de plume and alternative life…can’t quite believe it’s been that long, can you? This was quite big decision actually as I liked my anonymity but on the other hand it seemed a little weird not to say anything, especially as this blog has grown and developed. If you blog, do you have a cloak of invisibility or do you stand unmasked? I’d love to know your reasons either way.

I see this as a step towards my uncluttered state – two personae rather than one? No thanks. Come together, indeed.

In other news I have been asked to be a contributor to a national healthblog to witter on about Uncle Parkinsons. How exciting! You can tell I don’t get out much (apart from the 2.30am chatting session with my Sisters of course). Again, I see this as drawing my two lives together a little closer.

I have also confessed my photo-less state to my friend so hope to be able to post pics of my cushion at some point. Don’t hold your breath, I wouldn’t want to be responsible for any blue faces, you know my speed setting is stuck at sllloooowwwwwww!!!!
