After all that

I never got round to posting anything did I? This nicely illustrates why I should never have responsibility for anything that needs feeding, attention or regular maintenance. The only plant I'm capable of propagating with any degree of success is mint, which doesn't count - it would quite happily do its own thing without me. Indeed it does, all I did was put it in the ground. In fact, I think it may technically be a weed. When I was younger I had a land hermit crab as a pet. It was great, you could leave it around 3 weeks' food at once and it would happily do its own thing without relying on its bungling, incompetent owner. Which was just was well as I often forgot I owned it. I suppose the worst thing that can happen to a neglected blog is that no-one reads it. Which I'm fairly certain is where we are at right now with this one.

I just got a new laptop. It is single-handedly the most expensive thing I have ever bought. There's actually a pretty huge drop-off between it and the next most expensive thing I've ever bought (a large multipack of Primark socks, since you ask). I rarely buy anything to be honest - I've gone from being 8 and having this huge, imaginary list of stuff I want in my head at all times to not even being able to think of anything I would like, even if money were no object.

Anyway, it effortlessly does most things - it says here on this leaflet - so this weekend I am going to record a bunch of banjo, and possibly some drums if I can get everyone in my house to go out for a bit. Depending on how it goes I might post something up here. That's what you do with a blog isn't it? Nascissism. Hitting all 5 of your readers firmly in the face with a needy blast of 'me' every so often.

Obviously there's every possibility I could be following up this post in another month with a 'oh yeah, that weekend I um, got drunk and forgot to hit 'record'. I'll keep you posted. If I remember.
