Very grumpy because I wasn't able to make it up to the Blue Mountains for a party at the Bigred1977s.

Quiet day recuperating at home. Not enough energy to go out foraging for a blip, so there was a lot of staring vaguely around the house going on, hoping for inspiration to strike. After half an hour sitting my head cocked on one side contemplating dusty, tangled cables, I abandoned that thought, worked the kink out of my neck and went for this piece of coiled metal, held up against the lamp in the corner of the living room. A very low-tech blip indeedy.

Am still a blip or 2 behind, but expecting to get cracking on reading others' journals. Thanks for your patience and thanks particularly to those who've commented over the past few days even though I've not been online long enough to check your blips in return as yet. I will definitely be showing up in your comments sections to catch up on what you've been doing from tomorrow!
