David has been ticking me off for sounding so depressed in some of my postings of late. He even tried to tell me last week that he’d got a car designed by Ferdinand Porsche too so I didn’t need to have ‘car envy’ of Liz and David’s cars….I’m not sure that helped in the slightest but never mind!!!

This shot was actually for a project at work and I decided that instead of trying to do another shot for my photo, that I’d use this one. I actually think it’s quite wistful. You know, pressing the control button…the right button. I could even go further and press control-alt-delete and erase 2006 so far. DMs already done a shot of this...

BUT that’d just be back in the territory of depression and I’m not going there any more. And besides, there have been some good bits so far this year – the house, however painful WILL be good. Our friendships and loves – all good. Each-other – good.

I am so looking forward to the next phase, it’s just around the corner and I can press a button saying ‘start’ – start new life. I can press a button saying ‘home’ – building a home for DM and my babies. I can press a button saying ‘delete’ – deleting bad things. I can press a button saying ‘control’ and I’m in it. I’m in control. Me. It’s my life. I’m off to press all of those buttons now……

Boy was last year's pic a corker - it was one of my finest moments.....
