I'm a Twit and Dave poked me!

No really it's true - i am a Twit and Dave cole poked me! that is to say of course that I spend a fair wack of time with twitter running and me posting 140 character nonsense - what can I say I am a bird brain with a very short attention span and its about all I can ever do to get one sentence out that makes any sort of sense, therefore twitter is a perfect medium for me!
anyway Dave Cole is a great eprson and tonight dropped me a tweet and poked me with a reminder that I had been a little bit awol recently - and this depsite the last blog post here saying i wouldn't be and despite his last poke on twitter when i said I would come back and be a little more intereactive! so i thoroughly deserved a poke and he was really nice with it anyway.
Do I have a defense> well sort of yes and no.
The Yes: As I said last time mum has had a few health issue and these are still ongoing with a few added in - two weeks ago she had some face lesions removed, not nice, very deep but gone now - she has a few more lesions to be removed over the next few weeks/months,her back next time and then her legs. So anyway had the lesions gone, stitches in and feeling a bit better for it and then she goes slips down my aunts doorstep last week and broke her ankle! honestly.
So it's kind of fun around here with hoppy the mum - except she can't hop - good job she already had the wheels!
The No: Does apathy count as an excuse? probably not, I think though that it's not exactly but sort of right nontheless - i have been sort of apathetic about an awful lot for the last few months and this sort of was one of the casualties. I could blame it on depression or being a bit blue but the truth is that it's still down to me not making myself do something - and the really sad thing is that this is something I enjoy and those are the things I seem to have most let slide recently.
Anyway having said that Dave's poke was obviously a poke of genius cause here I am - actaully his poke coincides with a decision earlier in the week to start making the effort and getting on with things - ok that earlier in the week was thursday! I went and got myself a brand new digital camera as an incentive to putting some fun back in my life and getting on with things I enjoy (I sort of bribed myself lol)- could I afford the camera? not at all and it was expensive but my mum and dad treated me as a thank you - its like the next three birthday presents.
Anyway and then Dave pokes me and reminds me of other things I have been avoiding that I know I like too - so it seems perfect timing.

So anyway that's that - I have posted on one forum discussion already, read some other stuff that is great but involves some mulling over and thinking about and I will endeavour to respond to soon! - I am now going to have a quick look at the groups and then get on with getting some sleep before too much of tomorrow comes as its nearly 11:30pm already here and I'm trying to not be such and insomniac these days (failing but still trying)!

So thanks Dave for poking this Twit.

Oh and here's a picture I took with the new camera - i'm calling it potted mum and dad!
