Burnt To A Crisp But Back

Hello folks!

The Ox is back from his little sabbatical down south, slightly poorer, darker (and perhaps even weirder) but altogether none the worse for wear. The new year's about 5 days old as I write this, and all I can say is it's about how I'd expected it. Hot with slight thunderstorms in the evening, and a capacity to be messy.

I guess my quiet disappearance this past week may have perplexed several close friends, and for that, I humbly apologise. Anyhow, I'm back now, and there's a boatload of blogs to read, work to do and people to see. Looks like another typical month in the life of the Ox.

As for the other things..well, let's just take things one day at a time, shall we?
Have a good week, people.
