ho ho hum

As is no doubt evident by my complete lack of posting recently, this month has been really hectic for me and will only get more so. When I factor in Christmas, presents to be bought and sent to family at home, outdoor fairy lights to be strung (OK so I didn’t need to do that, especially while trying to balance precariously on the crumbling concrete wall) , Black Dog to be taken to vet and worried over unnecessarily while lumps on his side are checked for cancerous cells (all clear – they are fatty lipomas. Mmm! Festive!) , stressful times at home, no annual leave apart from the stat days over the holidays, which means working up until and including Christmas Eve, dog shows/events all weekend (damn the Brown Dog, who is a star member of a very active rare breed dog club), Christmas Day with friends for whom I have yet to find a present … I find the fun of the season escaping me and we’re only halfway through the month. So I will continue reading the Internet, but the Internet will have to live without me posting for a month. (You realise the minute I write this, I will want to post four times a day.)

Have a fabulous Christmas everyone; be sure to update your own sites to show up my shameful laziness even further. I will be attempting to sort through this (completely self-imposed) schedule of Madness and get back to my usual half-assed posting regime momentarily. (I love the word ‘momentarily’. Nobody is quite sure what it means, but it sounds impressive.) And in the same vein, my Christmas present to you is my current favourite word:

ambisinistral
opposite of ambidextrous; equally incompetent with both hands.

Merry Christmas! Don’t chase the cat or climb on the bed while I’m gone!
