What to you mean, where have I been?

Right. So. I've not been here for a bit. And I have a really good excuse. Honest!

So I've moved house recently, something I think you'll appreciate, is a really good excuse. In the few weeks moving up to it, as I rent I've been nipple deep in painting everything on account of well, renting. They wanted it back to white, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact when we got the place it was a mix of bile and lime green. Yeah. Awesome. So off I went, painting and packing... in a motherfuckin' heat wave.

Once per year, Britain decides it's not the musty, overcast grey country we know and gripe about, but part of a tropical conglomerate. It's awful, because it's not like temperatures slowly rise and fall with the seasons, it's BLAM TWO WEEKS OF FURNACE HEAT and then back to fifty of grey spittle. So no one has any tolerance of the heat.

I don't remember what sleep is. I go to bed, feeling like undercooked beef roast, and a few hours later a get bored of lying in my own sweat and go to work. That's what the current night cycle is. It's as entertaining as it sounds. And I've been trying to paint in it, which is exactly what you wish to do in high heat: physically exert yourself.

So, I'm back. My internet access is still spotty (another wonderful excuse! If only I'd thought to, you know, address this ahead of time) but I have stuff to talk about, more stuff in the pipeline...

...but I think I just set my Wii U up, and on noes! I'm busy again.
