Well maybe it would now that I'm more into the swing of things again..trousershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879862280895772283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-90498363189822899892008-02-29T11:14:00.000+00:002008-02-29T11:14:00.000+00:00See?

Plus I'm sure it won't be too many people's cup of tea, this may well become apparent if I write more about what I'm working on. I wouldn't want anyone to travel and be bitterly disappointed/brutalised etc.<BR/><BR/><B>zola</B>, does it? And there was me thinking your mind never worked like that :) Glad you like it all the same.<BR/><BR/><B>turtle</B>, I wish I could leave things to the last minute, but I can't. I feel like I'll be winging it as it is. I do have mild control-freak tendencies when it comes to things like this, so I have to be at least reasonably prepared in advance.trousershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879862280895772283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137682720915766788.post-72337171904305558052008-02-26T16:01:00.000+00:002008-02-26T16:01:00.000+00:00I have a deadline at the end of the week.
