I will post links to new blogs and come and say hello in the next few weeks. You probably don't remember who I am by now, but what the hell.<br /><br />I've been travelling. After promising myself I was going to stay at home more this year and concentrate on my own stuff, low and behold, in January the phone started ringing with exciting things to do, new inaccesible hotels to struggle in, and so on. And you know how I love a good bitch about inaccessible hotels...<br /><br />Sadly on that front, I've been sorely disappointed. In fact, I have treated myself accomodation wise and stayed in some nicer-than-Premier-Travel-Inn type places. Hence the above picture - one place I stayed in even had a phone in the loo. I resisted the temptation to phone Mr F for a chat in case he asked where I was calling from - it's better to keep the mystery in some parts of your relationship, don't you think?<br /><br />So apart from the odd little thing in these hotels, none have got it so specatularly wrong as some of the places I visited last year. Nowhere has been perfect yet, and I always chuckle when I go into a perfectly good wheelchair accessible bathroom to find some twat has furnished it with a <i>pedal</i> bin - the pinnacle of stupidity when someone presumably has trouble using their legs and feet - but nothing on the scale of last year. I always wonder if I should chuck rubbish all around the pedal bin to make the point though... maybe that should be another resolution, although I don't want to strain myself because I haven't found a good cheese straw recipe yet. <br /><br />Things are looking up. Last year was a hard year for me personally - I found myself working on a project a long way away from home right after losing my Dad, and the whole year dragged on, coloured mostly by grief. As a family we're all still sad, but moving through it as you do with grief and time. Finally this year, spring and the future are things to look forward to rather than just get through with heads down and teeth clenched. <br /><br />Time to kick up my heels and have some fun again.Agent Fanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17283954005767631627noreply@blogger.com
