Slow

Few and far between are the posts in the land of dial-up internet, and for that I apologise. The laptop makes it out to the only phone connection in the kitchen infrequently, perched as it has to be between the cordless phone base and magic bean on the bar countertop (contrary to the flash animation of growing bean at that website, it now stands at 17cm – magic!). We have no couch, no dining table, no chairs – so standing here blogging, after having read some news and other blogs, can only last so long. There are the fit-balls but, I can assure you, they’re not all that comfortable.

I lied. We do have a dining table and chairs, but they’ve lived in the garage for several weeks now, waiting patiently for their stain and varnish before being allowed to take their pride of place in the unit. The first coat went on last night so it shouldn’t be too long, but I may just leave other things to write until I can sit at the table and relax.
