I'm not dead. Hello! How was Burns Night for you? I can't tell you how much fun mine was. No, I really can't. Looking forward to Australia Day now. And then the full-on party tomorrow for.. hmm.. Holocaust Remembrance Day, apparently. Way to harsh a party buzz, calendar makers!

I hit 28 running on the 5th and so far the only difference is that I'm wearing a jumper which makes me look like someone's dad. Actually, that may be a sign of something or other, but I doubt it.

I spent most of the last week trying to help my parents help my brother who is in difficulty on the other side of the world - Japan, to be precise. Well, to be more precise, he was in Korea from Tuesday and... you don't want to hear this whole story. It was a less than fun time, but it's lurching towards finishment, with his arrival on Wednesday hopefully putting him back on the map and on the right track for the time being.

I wish to register a complaint. Why aren't I worth more? I've been Blogging for ages and have lots of links from and to and yet I'm worth less that most of the bloggie-come-latelys I'm linked to. Yes, for some reason I care.

Okay, that's celebration over with for another year. Or... not started for this year? I dunno. Oh, hey, don't forget my birthday on Wednesday. That's a bit more celebration, but not a universal one (I'm working on it being an international holiday, but as yet it's only respected in the phatter parts of Northern Ireland. And Scotland, obviously, but they get Hogmanay off, so I don't know if they really think about their national holidays too hard).

I'll be somewhere in Lincolnshire soon. Watch out for me, I'll be visible to the naked eye.

Furthermore, nothing.
