Exactly 2 months to this date has passed sinced my semi-intentional forced hiatus from my blog... don't ask me for any specific reasons why I haven't updated or why I chose the 28th of April to cease posting and the 28th of this month, June, to start a new. It could be that this was the date (28th April) that the Italian Wold War II dictator, Mussolini, was hung in 1945 or that this was the the date of the first FA cup final in Wembley way back in 1910. Well actually, I'm not a Mussolini fan and neither do i watch football but it is interesting to now that Botany Bay was discovered by Captain Cook way back in 1770 thus he discovered Australia (if I'm not mistaken)....
Why reposting on this date 28th June, well one good reason was that the Treaty of Versailles was signed in Paris (huh?) thus officially ending World War I in 1919 or that in 1682 Champagne was invented by the Benedictine Monk Dom Perignon in Hautevilliers Abbey. Aside from that, in 1956 the Hit Musical The King and I, wet on general release i the states and jumping forward 30 years ad back to Wembley, Wham plays their final concert in 1986. I wonder if there last number was, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go...
This and much more would be great reasons to stop posting and start up again, but well, the real reason was that wayback in April on the 29th, the connection was laggy so I couldn't post, then the next day i forgot and, well here I am... Anyway, I promise to post at least 3 times week now, promise.... Aside from that, this past few months have truly been eventful. My house got invaded by termites (a well deserving tale to tell of which I will), I got engaged (yay for me! or should I say, "Yay for WE!"), and I finally, finally, fially, QUIT SMOKING!
