This is the long Goodbye!

Currently listening to Paul Brady's classic "this is the long goodbye". No subtle message intended, albeit I have been inabstentia from blogging for too long. But what a great song - Paul Brady, is for me, one of those musicians that I have so grown into - my Dad has been an avid fan for as long as I can remember, his song "the island" holds a particularly poignant meaning for our family - someone very precious was both found and lost to that song and it will forever make me cry. All that said I had never really gotten into Paul Brady's music until recently but all I can say is that I am so glad I did - the man is an unbelievable musician and wordsmith. Old age is sometimes a venerable thing - the appreciation it brings is a wonderful thing.

However, I have been missing from the blogosphere again for a month or so. No major reason why except that things have just been busy - work has been more hectic recently than it has been in a very long time. Then there have been long weekends away and a good bit of socialising in between. I put my hands up - last year I made a decision that I would blog as and when it suited me - I never want to be a blogger who lives to blog - more a blogger who blogs when it suits her life :)

Things in Curly K land are good even if they are busy. Lots of catching up on the blogosphere to be done again but c'est la vie.

Hmmm...Curly K and Omani BOTH return after long layoffs at the same time...coincidence? ;-)

Seriously, though, good to see you both back.

Good for you. Nothing worse than being driven by blogging .. and we've gotten used to you disappearing and popping in when you can. So carry on! ;-)

Enjoy the socialising :-)

I know the feeling. My blog is a bit like that friend I'm never really in the mood for calling but when I do I'm glad I did but keep leaving it too long to call again because I never really feel like I've anything interesting to say.

*sigh*

The Island is an absolute heartbreaker, gets me every time. I once met Paul Brady at a bash with a free bar where I was very drunk and started repeating myself about how much my dad loved him. Poor guy looked bored to death when I'd said it for the 10th time.
