Long time no see everybody!

Well yes I know... it's been a long time, and I've been lazy...

So now I'm thinking, do i just blurt out everything thats happened in the last year since last we spoke? Or should I tease it out, so it looks like I loads to say over the next several days...
Lets face it, if I dont tell all now it might be another year before you hear from me again, so here we go...

So, new job. yup I now manage a team of IT engineers for a company based in Putney in London... but thats work and thats quite enough of that.

You may remember way back in May last year, I was talking about my band? No? Well scroll down a bit you lazy b4st@rds! Anyway, I'm sad to say that the band is no more... well thats not entirely true the band is definately alive, just not in its original form. Yes thats right With Neil (founding bassist) working hard down under (I'm pretty certain he's only working hard on his tan) we have had to turn elsewhere. Where better than our good friend, local pub landlord, and sometime band photographer! Yep, Simon Spiken joined forces and once again we were all "workShy". Shortly after we were also joined by Charlie whom had on occasion joined us for a spot on the stage. We were now a four-piece. But enough about that! If you want to read more about the band go here: www.myspace.com/workshytheband and yes the writing style of the band blog may feel very familiar as it is indeed yours truely. oh one more thing about the band whilst I remember, we have another gig coming up and you are all more than welcome, details are on the aforementioned website as is a demo (gulp).
I have also been asked to sing in another band.. very tempting. I havent decided yet and of course you will be the first to know the outcome. If I do it certainly doesnt mean the end of workShy, just something else.

We have builders coming in next week to gut and redo our bathroom. I've got to admit I am pretty excited by this, it marks a turning point in the completion of our flat. That said I am also fairly apprehensive of this work as due to some spectacular planning (we have no kitchen currently) we will be with out water for a few days (remember... no kitchen, and I'm including the sink there!)... I did have one thought which I am undoubtably going to go to Hell for, let me fill you in...
Ok so you have the big picture I need to go back a few weeks/months (I cant remember the exact timeline), oh hang on... I think this deserves an entire posting of its own. so to cut a long story short, our neighbour fell and broke her hip a few weeks ago... leaving her flat empty... am I bad for hoping she will stay in hosptial another week or so? I mean theres free running water going towaste over there and we have been taking care of her cat for her....
Is it so wrong... it is isnt it? Damnit theres something wrong with me, can I justify it by the fact that the builders are going to need copious cups of tea and the water has to come from somewhere... I'll be quiet now...
