Busy Whizzee

I have been away from the blog for good reason – I’ve been doing proper work. The new motorsports season is well on its way now and for the last two weekends I’ve had the opportunity to go to a couple of tracks and see some of ‘my guys’ in action. Both times the weather has been very kind and there’s something very relaxing (in my world) about kicking back on a grass bank and listening to the roar of engines.

I am immensly proud of the people I get to work with. Most are young (or young at heart) and its inspiring to see them give their all to their sporting ambition. Not that I tell them this too often, can’t be making them into prima donnas!

At the race last weekend we spotted Shane Lynch in the paddock. Since the end of Boyzone he’s tried his hand at racing. Mum came out with the most lovely back handed complement when she spotted him – “He looks cleaner in real life than on tele.”

So such things have kept me from blogging.

Quick run down on other areas of life

• my wisdom tooth has healed very well.
• The four hand rear kittens are doing wonderfully. They have moved up to the penthouse suite of cat pens and are enjoying the freedom of more space and have begun playing. They are all very clean and already fully litter trained.
• My courgettes have come through very well, as have my sweetcorn, beetroot, salad leaves, spring onions, radishes, various herbs. No sign of french beans or tomatos yet.
• Last night I dreamt Brad Pitt joined the cast of Hollyoaks - I saw a woman who looked identical to Amy Winehouse, only 40 years older. What was doubly freaky was that as I saw her they started playing Rehab over the shop radio. No, No, No.

Glad you're back! It's hard finding time to blog when you work full time, isn't it? I like that, "I will write that damn novel" on the side. Good luck. I've added you to my links now so hope you will post again soon.

I am so so jealous! We had 2 feet of snow a couple of days ago.

Will spring ever come?

Glad you're okay. (And the kittens!). Have you grown sweetcorn before? It's my first year and I'm wondering how high it grows and whether I can plant it in the bed next to the greenhouse; or whether that will make the greenhouse dark.

(Don't die of shock . . . I am back!) And it's nice to get the update on your life, garden and kittens =)

I had a dream the other night that David Bowie, in full Ziggy Stardust regalia, was hosting a Saturday morning kid's programme and promoting both a louche lifestyle and a range of very artificially-coloured looking sweets.

I must never eat cheese before bed again.
