Rain, rain, don't go away...
A few years ago when I took a holiday with my parents to the Lake District and we climbed up into the hills above Derwentwater, my Dad stopped and said:
How i wish i was there now instead of stuck here slowly going blind in front of this keyboard.
I wish I could "bunk off" work and go there for the day. I would also hope that it was raining too as i prefer the rain to hot weather.
I could be sitting in a tent near the lake with rain "pit-a-patting" on the flysheet, reading or drawing, and just chilling out. The euphoric smell of freshly wetted grass and mud mingled with the smoky crackle of my campfire dying in the shower drifts through into the tent.
My iPod would be there for the times when music suited the mood and I could turn my mobile phone to silent, or just accidently drop it in the lake whist taking the Derwentwater motorboat across to the other side on another long walk back to the campsite, shooting some black and white photos on the way. A freshly whittled walking stick would also be needed as i sneer at tourists and pretend to be a local.
I would have a flask of coffee, a miniature of Jack Daniels, a freshly baked loaf of wholemeal granary bread with a jar of Peanut Butter to fill my tummy at lunchtime and a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes to compliment my columbian coffee breaks.
And at 5pm I could go home to my family - as if nothing had ever happened....
See.. i don't want for much, do i?
Where would you go on the day you bunked off work?

Whiteboy: read...
I saw this once before but it passed me by in a haze of Bloglines updates and I forgot to blog about it. Over at The Nonist they have a free downloadable pamphlet titled "What everyone should know about BLOG DEPRESSION".
I am no stranger to this effect either. What? You thought all my content was lovingly well crafted social commentary and prose? Wrong! I can count the times I have thought of deleting my blog or changing the content totally on more than one tentacle! WhiteBoyBob will tell you all about that (and how). And since i got my iPod... well... what else do I have to write about?
Blogs, like male prostitutes, come and go and even the giants of the blogosphere slip beneath the waves after dazzling us with their comedy and making us jealous with their volumous hit counters and subscriber numbers. The thing to remember is that "The Blog" is your own space. Own it and put a little of yourself out there. In a sad geeky way it has brought a little more happiness to my hum-drum life. Creativity is the key - whether it be photos, your reviews of the latest condiments or your latest rant about "that bloke that nearly knocked me off my bike on the way to work". Everyones life is interesting.
Like the literature says: "No-one put a gun to your head. Blog for your own enjoyment or you're in trouble"

Life o' reilly
So here i am typing on an iBook running Mac OS9 after another hectic day on holiday trawling the sunny beaches of Southsea and Gosport. The kids are happy - the wine is flowing and my "borrowed" gps PDA unit brought me direct here with no hitches at all!!
I want one now!
Well... at least for when i am on my hols each year.
Off to the next portion of my holiday tomorrow - across the country to Devon for another week of swimming and fun.
See y'all laterz...
Wonder if i can permenantly "borrow" this iBook too!
