Dipping A Tentative Toe

"Who the hell are you?" I hear you all cry. And with good reason. It's been a while.
I'm not one for apologizing for not being around. Sometimes life gets in the way, stuff has to be dealt with and it doesn't leave one with the time or energy, nor the requisite chirpy disposition, to contribute anything that people will want to read.
Disposition reasonably chirped, comparatively speaking (if the comparison is with A.A.Milne's Eeyore), I thought I'd dip the old hallux back into the H2O and say a hearty hello to everyone with whom I have crossed paths (and swords) on this marvelous platform. I hope you all have been keeping well in my absence.
It has been far too long, and I can't guarantee I'll find the necessary wherewithal to make any sort of consistent appearance but I have missed the old place. Hence my half-hearted attempt at a comeback post.
I'll leave you with the news that shouty songstress Adele has declared that she may never tour again. I've never really understood why she bothered in the first place. She could just sit at home, screeching her repertoire, and we'd all hear her anyway!!
"Months away and that's all he's got". I can sense the disdain! But hey, I'm sorry! When you're in the process of breaking the world hide and seek record it can be an isolating experience.

I am not too sure about you having a chirpy disposition, but am willing to wait and see, WorDazza... (grinning at you!)
Do you know how long it has been since I have heard anyone use the term "hallux" for "big toe"? I believe I was about 10 or 12 years old when my father taught me that word... I haven't heard it used since.
I am very happy to see you back (whether that is for long or not) and apparently in a (somewhat) happy mood...
As far as music is concerned, I don't listen to any, as a normal rule, so couldn't say whether Adele sounds good or not. (I have listened to our pony ( @TheHorse) braying on YouTube lately. He actually sounds good, believe it or not. If you would be interested in listening to any of his music videos, you should ask @vandana7 for those links.)
I do hope life lets you play on myLot as much as you need to refresh your spirit while letting you enjoy teasing ours.

@WorDazza Yup! It is amazing what friends can do for the way we feel, if we give them a chance!

Glad to be back sir, and thanks for the kind words.
I think I have come to the realization that this place is good for the soul. Well my soul anyway. And it is probably the times I feel least like writing and interacting on here that are the times I probably need to the most.

Oh, howdy stranger.
My first ever post here had a similar sort of footprint, titlewise - who'd'a thunk it?!
What is this? More place to fill with inane scribbles... Did you know that 'blog' is short for 'web log'? I didn't, until this evening...

I've done very little here since early April. Fortunately I don't think they keep a register.

@asfarasiknow Who ever listens to rumour... Oh, sorry, I forgot - we've been consuming the output of the rumour mill for the last 18months or so, I keep forgetting (like those up in their ivory towers hope that we will forget!). :sigh:

Welcome back! I've been away for awhile too. Aha! Question answered. I always thought it must take energy to be "chirpy" and witty. :-)

I came back on MyLot after almost a year. Don't you hate it when you get a life and can't find enough time for the virtual camaraderie?
PS I love Adele
