Rumours Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated!

Indeed!

Well, I could be dead. I mean, I have had a birthday. I am now 31. I have had grey hair in my beard for a while, but last week I noticed some on my head. And old people tend to die...eventually.

So, I had a birthday. What else have I been up to? Well, lots. I started several other blogs, and have equally neglected them too.

I love "Views", but I have this feeling, a nagging tug on the edges of my mind, that I have outgrown it in some way. Is that silly? Perhaps I just needed a break from it.

I don't mean blogging, or writing. I mean this blog. It has always been an unfocused, haphazard, and yes, fun blog. I am eager to structure my thoughts and expressions.

"Views" is a true representation of me, though. I have as many interests as people have hair follicles (grey or not). And I am, at times, easily distracted.

So how can I put what I think and feel in to any kind of order?

I don't know.

I have tried.

I am a creative individual. I write. I can paint when the mood takes me. The last few days have seen me rediscover my love of photography.

I have had Italian For Dummies delivered, and Korean For Dummies is on it's way.

Topical issues often entertain and affect me...

Perhaps too much interests me.

I will refrain from listing everything that catches my interest, only to save from boring you.

I would like to think I am a Renaissance Man, able to turn my hand and mind to anything I wish. I think I may well be, but a lack of discipline is also a factor.

Am I....a genius? Am I mad?

Ha!

Stand back, watch me, learn from me. David has arrived!

Well, whatever I may or may not be, I am back, for a little while anyway. Thank you for hanging around for me.

Other news in my life?

We are looking at hopefully buying a house in the next few months. We will see. In these uncertain times, we will tread carefully. But I am excited at the thought of moving into a new house. Sam went along to see some show homes recently, taking several pictures as he went. They didn't look half bad!

I will try and keep you updated.

Otherwise I haven't been up to anything terribly exciting. Well, unless you count seeing Kylie in concert, and other little things like that (she was amazing!).I am sure I have been working too much and I long for the time when we win the lottery and can retire while we are still (fairly) youthful and healthy. Would be lovely!
