As I have got 5 weeks without the old man breathing down my neck I shall have another go 
And as my daughter has now reached the stage where she doesn't really much want to be in the same room as me most of the time (10 going on 14) then I get quite a lot of time to myself and it can't all be spent playing with two sticks and a bit of pretty string can it, so I shall try blogging again. For people who read this and don't know, she's home educated so we're together all the time. I said that without screaming, aren't I good? 
I must do something about the laptop battery. I say that like I know what I'm talking about! When it was new I could take it to my bed and have about an hour and a half on battery but now it seems to only last 33 minutes! Don't think I'd better try and buy one of those on my own, only get the wrong thing.
So, apart from knitting .... Big Brother? I'm glad Ken's gone, I was worried for him. You can't go in there at 79, it's all too revolting. They make sure of that by putting the likes of Jackie in there. I even felt sorry for Jade yesterday and that's a first!
Anybody who's as old as me got any experience of ulcers? I'm not impressed if that's what I've got, but it sure as heck hurt last night. As I am on my own I got my hypochondriac hat on and was sure that the back pain meant it was perforated and eating into my pancreas. If I don't return, it probably was 
What an exciting return, I'm not sure you're all ready for me! I'll try harder next time
Ooh, I came back 'cos I thought of something else! We set up Skype and a webcam and we can actually see the old man in Atlanta, Georgia while we speak to him on the computer. How amazing is that? Trouble is, now I have to get dressed at a decent time in the morning or he can see I'm being a lazybones in my dressing gown while he's not here. As soon as we went on though I got some man with a picture of himself with huge muscles come through asking to chat, please, can he be my friend??? Go away scary man! I made the mistake of using my daughter's first name on the profile so that was inevitable I suppose. Just an initial would have been far wiser.
