i'm back...

so, it's been nearly 4 years and I'm no longer comfortable that my work life should prevent me from having a public blog....

it was really hard to give this up, but life has moved on rather a lot...

so, I've left that place of work, the one where I met and fell for FC, the one where I was bullied, treated badly and probably should have spoken up...instead, I left in a way that wasn't of my choosing, but I learnt a lot

I'm now nearly a year into a 3 year contract - and whilst i love the job I'm trying to do a great job without letting it consume me....I've committed to selling my Sydney home and am about to relocate to my hometown, the capital!

I'm still single, but I'm happily single...this is different!

and once I've relocated I have plans! big plans for a different looking future, and selling my home here in the big smoke will obviously help, but still...

those plans include: finishing the novel (80,000 words done, but some structural changes to be made), studying to be an interior decorator (yes, you read it correctly), finding some board positions, and finding a way to give back...

so it's all onwards from here....

the hiatus is captured in another blog - one which for now will remain private, but in time, I may work up to publishing it...

the intervening years were tough in many regards, but hey, I'm still here and I'm smiling, so that's a good thing...

I also smiled when I saw my little picture - I created it when I wore glasses - then I had the laser surgery - now I'm getting older, I need a different sort of glasses, ha!

I hope everyone else is doing well....any followers I would have had will have gone, but hi to the new ones and sending my hello into the ether :-)

ciao for now!
