Well, yes, it’s been a while since I last blogged so I thought I’d do a catch-up one as people keep asking why I’ve stopped blogging – I haven’t, I’ve just been a bit busy. <\/p>\n

So what’s happened? <\/p>\n

Well, I’ve been working away a lot – travelling to Oxford, Scarborough, Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham. I attended two Hen Do’s, then, consequently, two weddings. Went to a Christening, took part in the Marie Curie Treasure Hunt with the Ram Jam Chuckle Buttie<\/i> team, had a week off work to sort out my garden and get some jobs done around the house then another week off to travel around visiting friends and seeing shows. <\/p>\n

I saw James<\/i> at the Carling Academy – excellent gig; Stephen Tompkinson in Charley’s Aunt<\/i> – that was brilliant and so funny – at the Theatre Royal; …<\/p>\n

This week will be busy as it’s my graduation on saturday, I’m also going to Utah for Slice<\/a> in 2 weeks time so perhaps things will quieten down after that? Who knows?<\/p>\n

Anyway, just a catch-up – most of the Newcastle blogs I read have gone quiet too – perhaps there’s something in the air….or is everyone just busy? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
