Wow, it's been along time since I was here last, and it feels very strange being back. It feels strange putting down in words in cyberspace what's been happening. And I used to be good at this!

So, it's been what? About five years since I actually posted a blog here, the least used of my blog accounts. Good a place to make a new start as any, I suppose. So, what's been happening? Well, I now have my beautiful 2 and a half year old Principessa, who is going to be a languages genius. She is already muttering things in Italian and Japanese. I have started learning Japanese myself, which is why Principessa knows some Japanese. Still writing, a little, anyway. Need to do more, and not just when the mood takes me. Not if I want to actually be sucessful at writing a novel (that doesn't include having it published, btw. Nooooo, that's just a dream for now!).

Yup, on the novel side, I have about 4 stories on the go, but I am at an all time low on self-confidence and haven't written anything for ages. I think this is the most I have written in months!

My dad was in hospital for a week, and only got back home last Friday. He's suffering with an ear infection, which, considering what it could have been (mild stroke) is good news. He just needs to rest and get better now, because I've heard dizzy spells whislt driving just aint good! But seriously, I'm just happy to have him home.

Anyways, I'll write some more some other time, it's just a little late now and I know Principessa will have me up at stupid o'clock in the morning.
