Firstly, thanks to everyone for your support and donations with my Dry July efforts! It was a long 31 days, and even longer FIVE WEEKENDS but we got through it and well over $2.7 million was raised for adult cancer patients across the country.
As wryly noted by Gcroft, I also seemed to give up blogging in July… for what it’s worth I’m well and truly at the pointy (flaming, barbed, covered in wasps, reeking of marzipan) end of my PhD, am in the process of preparing to move house next week, and have had a bit of a dodgy back, and quite frankly all this dissertation writing, whinging and moaning leaves me with no time or energy for foodie related endeavours. I’m eating my way through the pantry and freezer in an attempt to have less things to take to the new house, and whilst I’d love to report that this has resulted in innovative new combinations of ingredients that will set the food world ablaze, the only thing that has been lit is the stove as I heat up more tinned soup (and figuratively, at that – damn you electric stove! Soon I will shake my fist at you for the last time!).
Whilst this has also meant that I’ve not been able to keep up my usual blog reading habit, I am lucky in that I have not been forsaken by my bloggy loved ones. The especially loved Mardi of eat. live. travel. write. has just selected me as one of the five bloggers she has passed her My 7 Links baton to, and thus has given me a nice kick up the arse to get writing again. Sorry plankton, but the blog gets my keystrokes tonight!
