Due to popular demand (!) I'm back blogging again, tentatively at least. Losing a lot of stuff when the computer literally went up in smoke has been a bit of a blow, but I have only myself to blame. I was half way through a backup when it happened. I suppose it's a case of keeping things in perspective, but in retrospect I'm amazed at the closeness of my relationship with that now defunct pile of metal, cables, whirring sounds and flashing lights.

I see the infamous Belle de Jour has finally been outed, or at least it looks like it. I gave up reading her blog a while ago because it just didn't ring true. It's strange how authenticity, even in the field of anonymous blogging, is so important. Well it is to me, at least.
