The most irritating bird in the world

He's baaaaaaaaaaaaack. Did you miss me?

An enforced absence. Well, self-enforced at least. The thing about being self-employed is you can never say no. And for the past eight weeks, I have been a ghost to family and friends alike, wandering in for the occasional meal before heading back up to sacrifice my soul to mammon. I thought I'd escaped a couple of weeks' back - around the time of the big photo dump - but it was a false alarm. The corporate wiggly finger called me back.

Hopefully, this time, it'll be for a wee bit longer!
