All dressed up and nowhere to go.
So what of the future?

If someone could look into the future, would you ask them what it held for you?

Address me by my true name

‘Would you like a cup of tea Bonobo?’ I enquired sweetly.
Nothing, nada, zip.
‘Bonobo…?’
Still nothing.
‘Bonobo, wo hoo…can you hear me?’
More silence, he carried on with whatever it was he was doing.
This was a little disconcerting. Had I upset him in the last five minutes and caused him to fly into a silent huff? Had he suddenly lost all of his faculties. Been struck with deafness?
I looked at Red who looked as though she was going to burst out laughing.
‘He won’t answer you,’ she said quite merrily. ‘He won’t answer you unless you refer to him by his new, ahem, I mean real name.’
‘And what, pray tell is his real name?’ I asked patiently.
‘Bob Melon,’ she said.
Oh. Of course, how silly of me to forget.
‘Ahem, Bob Melon, would you like a cup of tea?’
‘Well that would be super PPQ, thank you so much.’
This place is turning into a nuthouse.

Slap in the face and a kick up the arse

I've been blogging for two years now.
That's a long time.
I remember the utter excitement I felt when I got my very first genuine comment from someone other than Bubs and the Boy. I remember the euphoria of finding my name on someone else's blogroll.
It's been a real journey for me and I've enjoyed it thoroughly.
But in the last six months I've struggled to find decent material to blog about. At times I've even considered giving it up.
Recently as I've been wandering round Blogsville checking up on my old favourites I started to notice that my name had begun to disappear from blogrolls and I felt a tug at my heart and my pride. I realised that I miss visting other bloggers and reading what they have to say, and that for me the blogging game is not quite over. I'm not ready to give that all up just yet...I'm turning a new blogleaf...
