Hairballs and blogging
- 30 Dec 07, 11:41 AM
Iâm not officially back in work until Wednesday, but it was either ânipping upstairs to do a bit of writingâ or cleaning up the umpteenth hairball that the cat has suddenly found a taste for. I think itâs his way of getting his own back for us all leaving him on his own on Christmas Day as we didnât want to leave Mother on her own - Iâd dread to think what sheâd have resorted to.
So I spent a good part of Christmas away from home. Away from the computer. Away from all that food we stocked up on for fear of the shops never opening again.
And it seems that a lot of the Manchester bloggers have been (or still are) away too, with little sign of life in that place affectionately known as the blogophere. Of course the really geeky ones have still managed to update their blogs and picture sites despite being miles from civilisation or âanother chance to watch Extrasâ.
was heading for Inverness last time I looked while is spending a few days in that traditional New Year party hotspot â Llandudno. âThere is a creative purpose to my tripâ, she says, âas I'm thinking of setting a text in Llandudno. I did some research online and on Flickr, but obviously I need to go and see everything for myself.â So what are you planning on doing for the other six days of your week there?
From next week the ±«Óătv Manchester Blog will be getting a bit of a rejuvenation as mentioned in the last posting -speaking of which thanks to all those who sent me their thoughts. Actually when I say all of those who sent me their thoughts, I mean just .
Weâre going to be featuring the best and worse of the Manchester Blogs each week with a picture of the week and from time to time weâd like to offer you the chance to write something for us about blogging and the blogging community as well as having non-blogging guest writers along to write about pretty much anything. Weâre also looking to update the blog roll. We canât possibly list all the Manchester Blogs â does its best to do that anyway - but we do want to know what youâre up to so we can send you some extra traffic. Weâll be listing blogs on merit.
Hang on, I can hear the cat mewing. Itâs that mew that says âHey Iâm on my own down here and I have a little something for youâ. I just hope he hasnât bought another set of pans from bid.tv â itâs a long story.

Aw, thats a shame richard, because if i know me what i actually sent you was probably not what you wanted but a pretty random outpouring of whatever was in my head at the time.
Have a great 2008

Hi Richard,
Yes you're right we Manchester bloggers have been resting - if that's the right word. Although I did get time to do a micro review of the Dad's Army play at the Lowry just before 2008!
