Things seem to have been a little hectic over these last few days and consequently I apologise for my apparent lack of posting, of email answering and of commenting! The last two days have rushed past my consciousness in a blur and where 48 whole hours have gone too I have absolutely no idea!

Well, if I'm entirely honest I do have some idea, the majority of those hours was spent glued to this machine in a state of 'design', in fact whilst on Monday amid the distraction of 'the incident' my design head completely deserted me, yesterday was another story entirely..........15 hours straight I spent working on one design or another for Design-a-blog, mostly one! I did of course allow myself short 'food breaks' but not once did I even step over the threshold and into the wider world. I recall it being 7am but the next moment is was bed-time, I didn't seem to notice the bit inbetween!

Hence, If I owe you mail or a phone call etc. I will get to it, I am not ignoring you I promise, my days just seem to be disappearing with a *poof* right now.

Other news: The 'incident' of indecency has been attended to. The decision as to whether to report the perpetrator officially was one of the hardest I have had to make in a long time. As ever the specifics were not quite a simple or straightforward as they might have been but I finally came to a conclusion regarding my course of action. Advice was sought from one or two people qualified in this area along with the police and my decision was ultimately not to report this as a crime. There is some possibility that the incident was not intended and while that possibility exists I cannot risk wrecking an individuals life. In UK law there is no middle ground here, if I report officially, there is not the possibility of a 'softly softly' approach.

Without being in possession of the full facts you may find my decision hard to understand, I may live to regret it but what I do know is that I gave this situation more thought, gathered more advice and information than I think I have ever done before in the space of three days and I made my decision to the best of my ability with the well considered information I had. The authorities have enough information to investigate a little should they choose and to approach me if they have real concern but they do not have sufficient to carry out an arrest.

Be rest assured, should there be a repeat performance which would then prove intent, the guy will have his collar felt very very swiftly.....this was strictly a 'one chance only' offer and only because some doubt exists.

So now that has been dealt with it is back to the business of design and HTML for me again today....assuming of course I can eject 'small cat' from my chair which has lately become her new 'best' sleeping place. She lies prone on the majority of it while I perch precariously on the front inch or two and repeated efforts to removed her only last for a few seconds!
