9 March 2007
Seven years ago I sat up, in the middle of the night, and pressed publish on my very first blog post.
Just in time for (what seemed like) the entire blog community to up and go to the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival.
I decided, right then and there, that this was something I really wanted to go to. Everyone seemed to be having so much fun, and I wanted to join in.
Seven years on, it seems kind of fitting that I'm once more, up in the middle of the night and pressing publish on a first blog post (albeit, the first one in a couple of months).
What's even nicer is that this time, I'm up in the middle of the night waiting for a taxi.
I'm waiting for a taxi that'll take me to Heathrow, and from Heathrow, I'll travel to Washington Dulles, and then from Dulles on to Austin.
Seven years on, I'm going to SXSW, and checking off two ambitions in one go (the other being to go to the US, end of).
I'm sorry I've been away for so long, there's a lot of story to be told, and it will, in time.
For now though, hello again.
Oh, it looks so lovely. And I can't WAIT to pick you up at that airport in Austin so that I can be a part of your first SXSW and your first visit to the US.
Nicely done, pix. Looking forward to seeing you very very soon... D.
Thanks. Can't wait to get there. On the plane now and waiting for take-off.
Without a doubt, this is the most beautiful weblog design - not to mention the most highly original - I've seen in ages. I've just sat here admiring it for ten minutes. Beautiful.
And congratulations on seven years (seven! years!) of blogging. Crumbs.
WOW! Fab new redesign.
Good to see you 'blogging again, I look forward to the telling, even though I was part of some of the tale... ;-)
It was very nice to meet you - glad you could come to Austin! :D
