Hi there, I seem to have fallen into the pattern of writing a post every 2 months or so. I know that I won't be expecting many replies because it like having friends in the real world; if you are out of the loop alot, then people tend to forget about you and when you surface again, people say, oh, it him again, I wonder what he wants!
I know it's nice to have friends in cyberspace, but over the past few (well more than a few) months, I've been going through a phase of going out as much as possible, I really don't like spending much time in the house as I live on my own. However the problem with being out of the house so much is that no work gets done, and I have fallen further and further behind with house work and basic maintenance, like trimming the bushes in the front garden which now resembles a forest. I'm going to have to do something about it because when people visit your house, the front garden creates the first and lasting impression. Recently though I have started running out of steam going out alot, and I find myself spending some more time in the house. I used to read alot of books when I was young, but have realised that I haven't read a decent book in years, and decided to get back into it. I went to Borders yesterday, and it was a difficult choice to know exactly what I would like. I thought I might get a true crime book because I have always been interested in forensic science and how crimes are solved, but I knew that I wouldn't be in the mood to read gory stuff. I decided to get something funny, thought provoking and clever, and got three books by Ben Elton; Dead Famous, Popcorn and Chart Throb. The first and last book are satires on the Big Brother kind of show, and talent shows like the X Factor, so they are quite contemporary.
I'll let you know what I think to them after I have read some!
