and sort of a “thank you†type thread
If you don’t like it, look away now, or drop sarcastic, derogatory comment in at your leisure. They often say far more about the writer than the subject of them :thumbup:

Well, what a year (ish)! ! And then some
What can I say.? ?
Where do I start ?
Get comfortable, I think this might turn into a bit if a ramble.
Oct ’04 saw the physical parting of ways between myself and Mk III. I have to admit that although I was fully behind and in agreement with the split, it did hit me much harder than I admitted at the time.
April 05 I finished the job I was doing having spit my dummy out over contracts and pay.
“Oh well, I’ll take my summer ‘couple of months’ break early†thinks I.
Take a little time to myself, to get over a couple of personal “issues†(none of you guessed that – right ?
Do a bit of work on the house. Fit a new kitchen, new bathroom suite. Finish a few “work in progress†jobs that I’d genuinely not had time to do, due to tramping.
Ah – the best laid plans of mice and men :roll:
Well, the “couple of months summer break†seemed to get a little extended
ops:What have I done ? Achieved ?
Well, the kitchen still needs fitting. The bathroom still needs finishing. All the work in progress is still – “in progressâ€
I have though found and enjoyed even more inner peace and serenity than I’ve ever known. I even managed, with the unknowing help of two very special ladies, to put a couple of demons almost to rest, and to almost take full control of the remainder.
I’ve been to some incredible Munches and socials. Travelling the country socially, almost as much as I do when working, and possibly more than when I was swinging :shock:
I’ve met some wonderful and incredible people.
I enjoyed a fantastic 3 week holiday (first in many years) to Thailand with a very, very special friend. Thank you
A massive change was that the bluddy cats decided that we would indeed have a Mk IV :roll: And that has changed the way I live, the way I think, the way I swing (or don’t) and a whole host of other things.
Then “all of a sudden†:oops: it’s October 2006 :shock:
I’ve had rest. I’ve had fun. I’ve had help. Help beyond my wildest dreams, desires or wishes. On emotional levels. And on physical levels. Through resting. My lazyness. My recent illness.
But – now it’s time to go back to work.
Properly.
Sooooooo – yesterday I went down to see the firm in Suffolk (?) I used to work for and asked for my old job back.
From next week I’ll be back to tramping full time, so I’ll not be around the forum as much to entertain you, or make you laugh, or bore you shitless, or annoy the crap out of you – depending on your point of view
And as there’s been so much coming and going from SH over the last year or so, some of my shower stops have also gone :cry: But if you’d be kind enough to offer me the use of your shower now and then, or would like to break up my week a little by calling in for coffee/tea/horlicks/hot chocolate or ovaltine (but you have to sing the song) to the truck – the PM button is below :wink: I usually have biccys, but cakeybun doesn't keep too well.
In the past, my main 'corridors' have been A14 - A1 - M1 - M6
To the people forever moaning about timewasters, no-shows, does this site work etc etc – I’d say, give it time. It does work. On many, many levels.
THANK YOU
SWINGING HEAVEN
ALL OF IT, AND ALL OF YOU
