Back (to black?)

Well. It’s been a while.

So long in fact that having only recently awakened from a coma would be the only acceptable excuse (and to be honest massively better than experiencing the sheer awfulness of the last couple of months in the soon to be ex UK).

In reality, at first, I didn’t feel like blipping about the outcome of what we can expect historians of the distant future to refer to as ‘the aberration’, assuming that they don’t just choose to draw a generous veil over a once perfectly functional country voting to be unutterably shit for the foreseeable future because the sound of Eastern European accents behind the counter of Costa was just too upsetting.

And then it was Christmas, and then I was over a month behind, and then the tyranny of the daily Blip reminder was just too upsetting as I could surely never catch up on so many missed days. And then I gave up for a bit.

And so finally I have decided to get over myself and just leave that gap unfilled; just like all those vacancies for care workers, fruit pickers and other jobs which fail to make our government’s narrow economic definition of ‘skilled’.

Oh well, I’m sure this can only end well.

Now I have months of catching up to do.
