Well, Christmas is over, I'm half a stone heavier, and it's my first day back at work. Oh the fucking joy. What's more, it's appraisal season at work, which means I have to fill in a million forms saying how great (or otherwise) I am at just about every aspect of my job so my boss can tell me if they agree or not.
On a lighter note, it snowed last night. I like the snow, I know lots of people don't - they moan about the driving or whatever, but being a non-driver, and not having to leave the house unless I want to, I think it's pretty nice. Makes everything look clean and pretty for a while, even though as with all things that are clean and pretty, it soon turns to slush.
I managed to get out for a run today. I only did 3 miles before turning grey and wanting to puke - though I have had man flu, and as we all know, it takes almost 2 months to get over that. Also, I've still not stopped smoking, even though I said I would in the new year. Though to be fair, I've only had 1 ciggy today, which makes me practically a non-smoker.
Thanks to the folks who commented on my short story (below). As soon as I write something interesting I'll post that too so people can congratulate/ridicule me as they see fit.
I really need to add some pics to this blog to brighten it up a bit, I'll see what I can do over the next couple of days.
Oh, and Matt Smith is the new Dr Who. I mention this as I've met him - which from now on will be my claim to fame. He was a very nice chap indeed.

I enjoyed reading your posts. Your dry British sense of humor is wonderful. Or maybe you're not being funny, you're just seriously depressed. If that's the case, I hope you won't take offense.
Keep at it! Blogging is a great way to try out ideas and story lines.
Your first day sounded like mine, so you have my sympathies. Just think, filling out the appraisal forms (yes, I have that to look forward to aswell) gives you a chance to think of a million synonyms for 'challenging' and 'interesting'. Such a laugh for us managers. that should break anyone's writers block.
Hello, fellow writer! How are you doing?
Good blog. I am a new at blogging myself and really appreciate seeing how others take to their blogs. It's a little nerve racking at first, isn't it?
Look forward to reading more!
