Disappearing Act
Posted on June 11, 2009 in Personal by Andy @ Yellow Swordfish3 Comments »

calendarI find it hard to believe that I have written nothing for over a month. I know I had been getting lazy and missing days between items – it does say ‘random and irregular’ at the top – but a whole month? Well – I have an excuse.

I was in a small, light aircraft that had to make an emergency landing in the Amazon rain forest and it took the pilot and I a month to get back to civilisation surviving on suspicious looking insects and… OK. I’ll try again. I was walking across a field in the Yorkshire Dales when there was this sudden loud engine noise above me and a bright light in the sky and I suddenly found myself amongst weird looking aliens who threatened to carry out nefarious medical experiments on me unless I gave them my credit card PIN. Only felt like minutes but when I got back a whole month… How about this? I was crossing the Solent on the Isle of Wight ferry when we were boarded by Portuguese pirates and held for ransom. OK. I’ll own up to the truth. I had to take a rail trip to Penzance and what with the usual rail delays, missing trains, missed connections and confusing timetables and ticketing, it took me four weeks to get there.

    All of those sound perfectly plausible to me. But then I’m just so happy to see you back that I don’t care !

    (Soppy enough for ya’ ? I must stop watching daytime movies)
