what can you do in 5 minutes?

write a short post... i know, i know it's been flippin' ages and even now it's gonna be short (I'm on dial-up again!) so since i last wrote i turned 30 (a good thing I reckon - i'm feeling more comfortable in my own skin these days... which may just mean that with my mature personality that this is the natural age for me... not sure how to think about that!), i've been away and had people come visit me and i've procrastinated badly about work - which means i have 3,000 words to write in the next 5 days... which sounds pretty bad (it is i think) but i wrote 4,000 since coming back from Rome a week ago and i certainly haven't been writing at full pelt for all those days... oh no, in fact burying my head in the sand would come closer to it for some of those days!

anyhow i had a request to blog about Rome - so briefly my impression of it (in the midst of lots of pilgrims coming to pay their respects to 'il papa'/the pope - he died the evening we arrived) is that it is a crazy place with more historical sights than you would ever be able to know all about in a lifetime, with crazy traffic and lots of beautiful people scooting about on vespas saying 'ciao' (sadly the pope was not able to join in on that front- i've asked the cardinals to keep it in mind for their next choice... eddie izzard reference for those who don't know) pictures will follow when they come back from the developer and more chat alongwith no doubt... right a minute over - ciao!

Next time why not type your post into notepad and when you're done go online and copy and paste it into the posting box. That way you won't be restricted by how much time you can be on the phone line.
