Busy having fun
1st June 2004, late afternoon | Comments (28)
If he read my site (and he weren’t dead), Norris McWhirter, co-founder of the Guinness Book of Records, would be able to tell you that the thirteen days silence since my last post is not the longest time you lovely people have had to go sans Dunstan; that record stands at seventeen days, back when I first started this blog. Close, but no cigar.
But why the recent silence? The lack of posts? The absence of photographs? Well, the lure of the girlfriend, the sunshine, and the city have simply been too strong for me to resist — given the choice between sitting in front of a computer, or getting naked, sun tanned, and drunk, I’ve found the computer loses out every time.
No doubt when I’ve settled in to some kind of routine here, I’ll begin posting more frequently, but for now I’m enjoying being away from the machine, so bear with me while I unwind. I’ve basically spent two and a half years sat in front of a computer in a beautiful field in the middle of a bunch of other beautiful fields, seeing no-one, going no-where, and having no-one to get naked with… I think it’s time I got to live a little.

Blog-roll
A selection of blogs I read on a regular basis.
- Hmm, the blog-roll seems to be a little bit broken right now (it may be that the blo.gs service is having problems). I’ve sent myself an email about this problem, and will try to fix it ASAP.
