MIA…

,

Wow! I really can’t believe that I haven’t posted on here in 4 weeks! That’s the worst gap in the four years I’ve been blogging. If there are any readers left out there, I’m very sorry.

Life has been really busy recently which has taken me away from the internet. Obviously Kirsty’s pregnancy has been a big deal. She suffered really badly from morning sickness for a few weeks and was throwing up constantly over that period. However, seeing the 12 week scan photos made it all worthwhile:

In my Youth Work role, I’ve been getting to grips with being the first Chairperson of YARN – the network of the Rank Charities. It is a great privilege to be involved in steering the formation of the network, and I’ve had to spend a bit of time getting my head around how it works while riding the train into London! We had a huge celebration/launch event at the Hilton Waldorf where I announced the network and also DJ’d into the early hours.

Back in my local role, I’ve had two young people doing Work Experience with me this week and I’m gearing up for the 2 playschemes, summer arts activities and Soul Survivor trips that we’re running! Some rest would be good right now.

Another contributing factor in my online absence is that my MacBook has been taken in for keyboard related repairs. It stopped responding halfway through typing a sentence and for 2 weeks I was carrying round the laptop, plus an external keyboard and mouse, which kind of defeats the purpose of a laptop.

Lastly in my Jolly news round-up, I managed to avoid all the queues and hassle to get my 3G iPhone delivered last week. While it is an amazing bit of kit, I’m still suffering from intermittent MobileMe Sync issues which helpfully deletes numbers from random contacts!

Anyway, I may get some more posts out there this week, so stay tuned.

    So, does this mean we can’t use the line “you’re spinning a yarn” now?

    Also, can we expect a fancy photo in Youthwork next issue?

    Surely, you missed your other big news. Your new car! That should have fitted in this post somewhere. Most probably between Baby Jolly and iPhone 3G
