didja miss me?
i know i was (am?) having a hiatus (i’m still feeling a bit rough to be honest, also: grumpy) but the site wasn’t supposed to totally freaking disappear!
after two days, i got in touch with my blog host, and it transpired they had changed some of their settings (why? why?) and made my blog go ‘way as a result.
so i had to go and change my settings with the company i bought dianeshipley.com from, where it was a dark world of ‘nameserver this’ and ‘DNS settings that’ and ‘this is not the email address you registered with’ and ‘please log in again’ until i nearly tore my hair out.
but i made it back!
and if you missed it, while the site was down i got another blasting in wrote another piece for the guardian: don’t bite the hand that feeds the inner you.
is there a good self-help book for dealing with criticism and blog disappearances, do you know?

P.S. Guardian blog’s looking good. They’re still commenting. Not sure it’s all pertinent but they’re enjoying themselves. The last comment today seems to be quoting a scene from Being There - but they’ve got Chauncey’s name wrong. (But if they are having a good time, it doesn’t really matter, in the scheme of things)!

Tut,tut, Peepo! - I didn’t get Chance’s name wrong - it’s the idiot politicians who mistakenly *think* he’s called “Chauncey”; as they mistake everything else about him….which somehow proves the point I was making by posting that extract….check out IMDB if you don’t believe me…. ;->
Diane - what do you mean, “I daren’t look anymore!” - I thought GU bloggers were made of tougher stuff….now come back and fight your corner….or else we’ll be forced to conclude those self-help books aren’t much cop after all…. ;->
….and having enjoyed your hospitality here, you’re all heartily invited to take a stroll around my blog….
