Morning kiddies. Read Moon's blog and felt guilty that hadn't blogged in a while. Also a bit gutted that the wit of our time, Munch, has stopped blogging for the time being. We need to help her through this people, so let's all write to form of ether-based group hug so she feels comfortable enough to start again...
I guess I've not written as just not much to talk about, or at least not much that's worth people's time and effort to read whatever pulp I generate. Not much has happened in all honesty. Been busy at work, went to Edinburgh for a week on to run some trials (which was fun, good to get out of the office, Edinburgh is always great, and got a chance to see Munch too), and that's about it really. I've been trying to discover 'new' music (or at least it's new to me), as I mentioned in Moon's blog. Recommendations welcomed...
The thing occupying my tiny mind at the moment is wondering what to do about where to live. I've got to stay here until the end of the year but it's financially crippling me. I considered buying but to get a half-decent one bed flat it will cost £110k, which means that I'd have feck all money to 'live' on for the rest of the month. I've also considered sharing a place - either getting someone in for the second bedroom and signing a new contract at the end of this one, or moving out to someone else's flat/house. One prob I have is that I have lots of furniture (including large leather settee, desks, filing cabinet etc) which will be hard to move and/or could get ruined my someone else. I think I'm perhaps being a little paranoid. If I shared a place I guess I'd also welcome the company at times, but would also get frustrated at the lack of 'space' (there goes walking around naked then...) My biggest concern is that I've already spent too many years sharing a place with other people, and invariably I end up living with someone whom could be safely categorised as mental. I'd prefer to live with non-mental people. I think if I advertise on somewhere like www.easyroommate.com (surely some are frigid btw?) I'd actually specify "no students, DHSS, or mental people". The main bonus though is if I do get someone in for the spare room next year, then at least I'll have some money to start 'living' a bit more.....
I'm also considering doing a 3 month gig to afghaniland next year. Whoop whoop.
Thoughts??

Greetings. I see the accommodation concerns. I imagine that buying now would be a very risky thing to do; could end up with a hefty mortgage on a place that loses a lot of value. Surely there must be people who work nights or something that need a room mate? Then hopefully paths won't cross, you can affordably rent nice digs AND get to walk around naked (except at weekends). Having said that I would never be able to share a place after living alone. But that's partly because I would be unbearable to live with that it would inevitably end destructively. I'm sure you're more tolerant/tolerable than I.
Thanks for the words of support, I'll try and do better.
