Time For A New Beginning

Hi all.

Just a quick note to let you know that I am still here, lurking around the world of blogs, but strictly just lurking lately. 

 No posts, no commenting.

Lazy, maybe?

I blame the former on my phone which, while it takes fantastic photos, is very frustrating when it comes to downloading them. Unless it's absolutely, fully charged when I plug it in to the PC, it decides the only thing it wants to do when connected is feed off the new power source. Flat out refuses to anything else but charge up.

Greedy thing.

So I have to try to download photos at 7:15 in the morning after its had its overnight feast and is nice and contented, patting its full belly.

But you know that's not going to happen.

Download photos...amidst morning showers, breaky on the run, making lunches, prying kids away from the heater because they should be getting dressed. Dreaming!

And the sorry lack of commenting?

My excuse is that I'm hibernating, saving my energy to get through the cold season. 

With everything else going on in my personal life all it seems that I get time for lately is a quick browse here and there when I need a little shot of inspiration or images of beauty to help get me through.

And when there's so many favourite blogs to get through, who has time to comment?

 But rest assured, I do read and look and soak up your pretty pictures and send you my approving thoughts via ESP.

It seems I'm not the only one hibernating. 

Reading through my blog roll I'm going to delete at least ten blogs that haven't seen any action for three months or more.

What my blog needs is a new start, a freshen up.

A new look,

a dedication to more photo downloading so I can start writing posts again.

(So many times I've thought "I'll have to do a post on that but that means enduring a battle between my phone and computer. Sigh!") 

It's time to emerge from the hibernation just in time for Spring

and start creating again.

So bear with me while I 'powder my nose'

and fingers crossed that I actually keep to my promise.

(And as I have to rely for the moment on old pictures, forgive the randomness of the ones included

but what's a post without pictures.)
