Hello? Is this thing on?So. I've not posted for almost a year, but that's mostly Twitter's fault, not mine.
Anyway, I've decided to start posting to the blog again. And I've downloaded the blogger app for my phone and tablets as an incentive to post here more.
Yesterday was my work xmas lunch, I managed to avoid the weather on my walk there...here's some pics.
