Ahoy thar!
I haven't written much for a while now so I thought I'd give the one person out there who reads this an update on what's going on in the world of The Blogster.

I'm not quite there yet. It's two weeks on Friday. I'm ready for it to be honest. I know some people who are in their 30s and they seem to be a pretty nice bunch (although they all have appalling dress sense).

It's growing! And it moves! It is really rather odd seeing that something is moving inside your wife's tummy. I've had similar experiences myself in the past but generally after 10 pints of lager and a vindaloo. Anyway - we've got under 3 months to go.

We're off at the end of June! Finally I'll be living in a town that knows the real meaning of customer service.

...not that it matters, as I'm the only one who reads this anyway. Actually there is one person who has read this blog before. Apologies Patty!

I've just looked at that last post and realised that I'm a rambler. Apologies.

Doesn't it make a difference when the sun shines? I don't know about you, but I feel suddenly much more positive about things. It's not that my hopes and dreams suddenly seems more feasable or any nearer to happening (although one is on its way in the summer - I'm going to be a daddy!). But my working day for example, which can be such a bore sometimes, passes by much more smoothly. And the fact that the sun sets later means that it's no longer dark by the time I get home.
Anyway, this has all led me to thinking about the relationship we as humans have with light and darkness. Why should the fact that the sun is shining make me feel better? I know I wouldn't like it if the sun shone all day and night, which means that I like sunshine to be restricted to a time frame. I probably wouldn't be too chuffed if the sun was still shining at 2 in the morning (or would I? If you're reading this from Lapland, please add a comment). Here's what I think. There's a battle going on in me between my soul and my body. My soul would be well up for non-stop sunshine, whereas my body forces me to go to sleep every now and then (I am a willing conspirator in this).
Hang on. I've lost my train of thought here. I'm mixing up two things: daylight and sunshine. Right....
Soul and Body compromise on the daylight thing and for me seem to agree that sunrise at 6am is acceptable (I never witness it at that time mind you) and sunset at between 9 and 10pm is also right (perfect if you like sitting outside a bar on a Friday evening). Body and Soul agree on this, but after sunset, I think Body starts to become the dominant partner - eventually sending me to sleep. Sunshine is obviously restricted to the realms of daylight and although I'm not averse to the odd spot of rain or snow, I definitely prefer sunshine.
I've gone full circle here. I haven't answered the original flipping question as to why sunshine makes a difference to my mood! Aha - an idea. My body (I'm pale caucasian) isn't really designed for it so it must be something my soul is attracted to. If this is the case, then maybe it's bound to a future hope or a past memory. I'd like to think it's something incarnate in me that has a partial knowledge of how heaven will be-
Sunny.
With intermittent showers.
But of the nice kind where the sun still breaks through the cloud cover.
Snow's alright as well.
But no sleet or hail.

Well it's been a while since my last ... since my first post, and I was just wondering how people feel the blog is developing. Is it meeting your expectations? Did you have any in the first place? And what about the subject matter? Loking forward to receiving your much appreciated comments!
