Please forgive me Vox...

I've been neglecting you lately. Not on purpose, you understand, but life has been a bit 'busy'. Work has been totally manic, with whizzing deadlines and impossible workloads and timescales. Personal life has been hectic - I can't remember the last time we had a weekend free, just for 'us'. Evenings have been spent vegging out, or working on my other web sites which need attention (see previous posts for details on this). Family telephone support has been needed too, as one of my daughters dogs was involved in a collision with a car - 2 broken legs, a broken hip and fractured pelvis, poor thing survived though - he's a fighter!

I fully intended this year to find time to leave more comments to my neighbour's posts, as well as to try to keep up my own posting rate. But here we are, 3 weeks into the year and I've failed so far. I've even been neglecting Jaiku and only posting once or twice a week at best.

I did log into Vox earlier today to try to catch up on what's been going on in the neighbourhood, but OMG - 7 or 8 pages later and I'm still not seeing posts I've seen before! The intention was to find the last point, and read/comment forward from there, but I'm so far behind that any comments would probably be superflous now. I'll have to revert to a quick scan and only comment where I'd be adding something substantial to the post rather than using comments as a way of saying "Hi neighbour!" and not really saying anything (don't you hate it when that happens?)

Hence this apology of sorts. Still, it means I've made another post, so things can't be all bad, can they?
