Wot I did on my holidays.

Remember how it used to be?  You'd come back to school after a protracted break filled with fun times and sunshine.  You'd turn up and the first thing you'd have to do was turn in your assignment:  What I Did On My Holidays.

Well - I've had a protracted break.  It's been filled with fun times and two little rays of sunshine.  And here's my assignment - all three words of it:

I had twins.

Actually let me clarify.  My wife had twins.  I just stood there. 

Sat there actually. 

Apart from when I got up to take photographs.

But anyway, I digress.....

And all of a sudden, I have all this rich blogging material again.
And all of a sudden, I have zero free time and I'm perpetually tired.

But I'm going to try to write more.  Emphasis on the word 'try'.  Because let's face it:  it can't be any worse than the silence you've been enjoying for the last half a year.... right?  I either come up with something to read or, well, you're no worse off than you are now.

Right?

Go on - nod enthusiastically, be positive.  What's the worst that can happen?   *

ps:  thanks to Nancy over at f8hasit for inspiring me to make an effort (by complete accident) with her latest posting.

* That's right, I stop being an introspective poet (ego, anyone?) and just wax lyrical on my children in every posting.  But I'll try not to.  Well, I'll try to make it interesting anyway.....

Matthew?! My fellow countryman? Writing again? Glad to hear it, amigo; you're back on my blogroll. Huge congrats on your arrivals! Two of 'em? Wowsers. Mine are 14 and 12 (secret, ssh) and I remember the fatigue all too well. But I'll be writing my socks off for the next six months, so at the very least come enjoy writing through me vicariously?
