I’ve not written anything here since the election result. It was a shock and a surprise and it took me a little while to recover my words. Anyway, here are some reasons to be cheerful:

- I spend most of Saturday plumbing in hot water to our bathtub in the garden. The only break was to go to a great lunch at a friend’s place. And came home to finish the plumbing, fill the bath and climb in as the sun was setting. A bath in the garden under the almond trees. Bliss.

- blognite is coming. Only ten days now. And we have the regular blog meetup this week.

- Splatt has a survey for bloggers to fill out to help plan an Australian blogging conference.

- William Gibson is blogging again.

- National Novel Writing Month is coming and I am really tempted to spend November writing 50,000 words of dubious novella. Thanks to Mark for the reminder.

And a million other things. I’m fully over pretending to be a political blogger, so more personal posts from me from now on, ok….
