back, opera, blogging, nostalgia
I am not sure if I'm back or if this is just a temporary sojourn into my past life blogging - I have just spent half an hour reading my old blogs - but it felt like a moment to write again. From all the evidence it seems I enjoy it! Blogging was always something I did to fill the insomniac voids of nights when sleep would not come - I'm writing this at ten past eleven at night - tonight seems to be one of those nights! As I sit here listen to funk, with my eyes itching to sleep, I am feeling a little nostalgic for my many nights of pouring random thoughts out to cyberspace. I still have things to say I suppose. Whether I have the energy to translate them to the page remains to be seen. Opera used to be my first port of call when I switched on my computer, but when the browser started getting glitches and refused to work on my laptop, Opera was lost. Since my laptop died, replaced by a snazzy desktop, I can use Opera again - even if I am still using Firefox - I may have to switch back to Opera. I think the writing was a good discipline for me. Besides, I enjoy it! Maybe, just maybe, I'm back. But is it for one night only?

trying, life, opera
Driving home from football - playing, not watching - really stressed me out tonight. All the weekend and bank holiday drivers were out, observing speed limits, slowing to a crawl to turn corners, generally getting in my way! I was hungry and tired and I wanted to get home to catch Match of the Day - televisual round-up of the professional footbal matches over the weekend - that has been postponed due to snooker! Bloody snooker, two grown men with sticks messing about with spatial awareness! (As opposed to twenty-two men running after a ball) I am quite wound-up this evening. No good reason, head full of nonsense and limbs tightening up with latic and fatigue. I have been reading blogs and writing comments in the interim - whilst waiting for some glimpse of football - for two hours. I looked at my cluster map - how do people get theirs to stay at the top of their blog? - My blog seems to be very popular in the Iceland/Greenland area (not that you can rely on my geographical knowledge!) I met so many new Opera-peeps! It just as well my work affords me alot of free time! Hmmm. I think...I think i'm going to search the net for something happy! Yep that's a plan...see ya.
