Hello blog, are you there ? It's me, Dee

Dear neglected blog,

I'm sorry it's been a while !

I haven't made the time to come hang out in your comfy spaces.

It's not to say I haven't been busy in cyberspace.....

and over here

and dear blog, I've even cheated you on here.

I know ! And I said I never would.....

I am however back.

With some increased vigour and enthusiasm.

I contemplated letting you go, but then I'd miss you.

And I still love reading blogs, and we all know that I'm not very good at just consuming.

I spent too long doing that.

Now that I have my voice and things to say, I need to take part, be involved.

So, what have you missed ?

Well, quite a bit actually.

Here are some things that I currently don't like :

1. Australian Politics and this election.

I'm disgusted by the way Julia Gillard was treated. By the media, opposition and her colleagues.

However, I do not feel Tony Abbott represents my best interests or those of the country.

I have a lot more to say about this election and the state of politics but these

well written posts by Pip, Emma, and Michelle do the subject more justice than I can this morning.

2. A broken car.

It's expensive and inconvenient.

And because you should never leave on a negative,

here are some things that I currently like.

1. Celebrating birthdays with good food, good wine and good company.

2. Winter. I know it's hard to believe that I said that.

These winter days that are crisp and sunny are glorious.

All the stress and hard work was worth it !

3. Baking

Between the birthdays and needing to get off the computer,

I have been baking up a storm.

So there you have it dear blog.

I'll be back soon,

I promise.

Dee x
