Ooooh, I am blogging OUTSIDE, from within a CAFE, using WIFI. It doesn't get any more techo-advanced than that! I do realise that I am about 5 years behind everyone else, but one makes progress at their own pace (in my case, that of a snail).
So here I am, in the cafe, with my laptop (plus internet connection - note smug expression on face) and an iced decaff americano, feeling very clever indeed. There IS life outside my front room. Mummies talking whilst ignored children hurl sandwiches at each other, local business folk deep in concentration, looking very self-important whilst fiddling with their crackberries, the lone reader immersed in his Sci Fi novel and finally, me (hopefully passing off that I am a hardened WIFI cafe pro - no one need know that it took me 20 mins to get a connection...).
I have to admit that I didn't exactly leave the house willingly this morning - I was in fact evicted, due to the noise levels coming from the big strong boys tearing down my living room walls and ripping up my kitchen flooring (due to water damage, read previous blog entry). Have left Mr H to work at home alone and deal with the noise/burly workmen. After all, it's because of him that we're in this ruddy mess in the first place.
Hmm, am finding it hard to concentrate with coffee machines whirring, babies crying and the general background hum. There is something quite relaxing and easy about pottering around at home and loving the sound of my own silence. Not sure how long I'm going to last as an Outside Blogger. Oh feckers, some little kid has just lobbed a sandwich at me...over and out.
