my life as a artist
a different electric kettle of fish
Sunday 20th July 2008 10:56 PM
I'd like to take this opportunity, in fact grab it with both hands, firmly enough to have it under control, but not enough to throttle it, to apologise for the recent blog-drought. It's still going on, and this is just a brief desultory shower.
I've just been on the road for two weeks, taking in the Glastonbury and Workhouse festivals, and other noisy water features, after which I've come home to fulfil some urgent filial duties. My Mum's flat has been renovated and revamped by the council, in consultation with Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen and Lulu, so she's been staying with me in the meantime (my Mum, that is, not Lulu, who shouts and goes boom-bang-a-bang too much for my liking).
Since the workmen finished going boom-bang-a-bang last Friday, I've been doing that mad, monomaniacal, midnight magnolia and wood-chip thing again, in an effort to restore my Mums flat, and indeed my Mum, to their rightful place. Although keen to return, she says she'll miss the beautiful view, my wholesome vegetarian cooking, and the high quality of the passive smoking.
I'm sure Katy speaks for you all when she writes in to say I was fantastic at Glastonbury. Thank you. After the gig I went backstage and hung out with James Blunt, Katie Melua, and Gilbert O'Sullivan and we had a lively game of scrabble. Later Neil Diamond and Shakin' Stevens turned up with some Tunnocks caramel wafers and a bottle of squash, and we partied until way past eleven. It was quite trippy.
Back in the mundane (but still muddy) world of football, even though there's still strawberries ripening on the vine, tomorrow sees the second game of the season for the mighty, yet humble and approachable, York Corinthians. Though we're sons of warrior gods, some of us still need a good eight hour kip the night before a game, and as I'm one of those, I'll have to go to bed now.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, I hope to talk to you soon, and I'll try harder not to make a stranger of myself , OK? All right then, goodnight! See you soon! Laters, eh?

I'm not sure exactly why but this blog is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end? I'll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

Hi there are using Wordpress for your site platform? I'm new to the blog world but I'm trying to get started and set up my own. Do you require any html coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!

Hey would you mind letting me know which webhost you're using? I've loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at a honest price? Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

I'm curious to find out what blog system you're utilizing? I'm experiencing some minor security issues with my latest website and I'd like to find something more secure. Do you have any solutions?

Do you have a spam problem on this blog; I also am a blogger, and I was wondering your situation; many of us have developed some nice methods and we are looking to exchange techniques with others, be sure to shoot me an email if interested.

I'm truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Outstanding work!

My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thank you!

I’m not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your sites really nice, keep it up! I'll go ahead and bookmark your site to come back later on. Cheers

Amazing blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thank you!

Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I'm trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your webpage? My website is in the very same niche as yours and my users would certainly benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this ok with you. Regards!

I absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post's to be just what I'm looking for. can you offer guest writers to write content for yourself? I wouldn't mind publishing a post or elaborating on many of the subjects you write with regards to here. Again, awesome web site!

Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say you've done a fantastic job with this. Also, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Firefox. Exceptional Blog!
