There is a couple of reasons why this isn't the case. Firstly, I have started posting elsewhere. Yes, this is both bad and wrong, but it is also true. I've enjoyed myself doing it, and as rubbish as it may be I hope that anyone else of a similar bent may be interested in following it.
Secondly, I need to refer back to my previous blog, in which I said...
I suddenly find myself in a position where I am hating, really hating, my job again.
I am going to be very careful here and say that I was not overstating the situation. Certainly, my job did not involve putting kittens into a bag and taking them down to a river, but it also wasn't something I was overly enjoying.
In perfect James May stylee, however, Good News! I have been offered a JOB.
Moving swiftly back to important blog-worthy matters, what you may notice from the Other Place I have posting (apart from the thing that will not be mentioned) is that I have been cycling a bloody long way. Yes, I cycled from Romsey to Swanage and back, about 140 miles in total.
Although I came back in great pain, I strongly recommend others to have a go too. It was great fun. Yes, we over did it. We should have given ourselves an extra day, but by jove it was good. Bikes are the way forward.
Being outside, understanding the terrain you are crossing, the distance, the elevation, the weather... it all adds to a holiday. By simply jumping into a car and driving somewhere listening to Radio 2 seems somehow crap in comparison. I'm sorry, but it's true.
I've arranged to take a few more of these holidays with my cycling buddy (also my best man) and I'm thoroughly looking forward to them. Maybe if you're in the New Forest area one weekend, you might want to join us?
