Hi – I had no idea that more than one or two people would notice that I had gone towards the end of last year and was hugely surprised to find that some lovely Gransnetters were really concerned that I was okay. I've just been terribly busy (still am) and also I thought I was getting dull, stale, predictable, dreary and banal when I was posting. It seemed time for me to give Gransnet a rest – and, indeed, give Gransnet a rest from me. I didn't know that that there was a thread about missing absent, plus more about other people as well as me until GNHQ told me. Blimey! I mulled and then decided that I should like to be back in touch with my many friends here – so here I am.
I have just had a speedy lurk and am amazed at the numbers of new members. How exciting is that? But I leave you for five minutes and you have definitely let in some Stepford wives. What happened to all the feisty chat? Where is the controversy and passion? What has happened to a nice knock down argument (otherwise known as "glory" – jangle knows all about Humpty Dumpty so she'll explain if you can't keep up).
I think it was the lovely Jess who commented on my unmistakable "acerbic" character – so be afraid, be very afraid.
Nice to be back. Hi lovely ladies and good friends.
