This and that
....and nothing much really. I've been very remiss about posting and keeping up with LiveJournal for some time now. I don't know why, it isn't deliberate or planned but it bothers me because it's always been such a lifeline. No, it doesn't mean I've got a life or anything scary like that. I think it means that life is grabbing me more and more and sucking my life juices from me and I have no energy - mental or physical - when it comes to evenings and computers.
I have to confess to having been on Facebook a lot more but that's because it's simpler to use and I can read it on my new, fancy phone which is handy when I have four cats competing for the small space that is my lap!
The good thing is, the evenings are already becoming lighter and the great Winter depression that always sheds a darkness is perhaps lifting. I finally got out into the garden yesterday and I LOVE this time of year out there. The smallest signs of Spring are showing themselves and already the earth feels warmer and the air smells different - and yes, sometimes my nose obliges and I can actually smell things! Not often, but still, it's special when it does.
This is going to be a busy year as we speed up our planning and plotting for the London Science Fiction Worldcon in 2014. I'm hunting down artists for the art show and am being slightly obsessive about pigeons which is a connection to the Worldcon (Loncon3 - google and see!). I'm trying to make a pattern for a simple felt pigeon. It's slow going but what I have so far does almost resemble those annoying things that stalk you in train stations.
Headaches still happen and one is happening now so energy is now used up.
