Back in the day (roughly 2007) I used to be able to cough up a blog post or even two a day. These days, I’m struggling to come up with one a week. It isn’t lack of material or even lack of enthusiasm, really. It is lack of time. Back in the summer of 2007 when I started this blog I had 0 kids and a job that I was only doing to fulfill the terms of my contract. I had more free time than activities to fill it. Now, in the autumn of 2010 I’ve got two kids and a job that I love and am trying to make sure that I can keep. Like lunch, there’s no such thing as free time.

I’d probably drift away from this blog for weeks at a time if it weren’t for BlogHer, who kindly pays my hosting costs through their advertising program. If I vanish from cyber world for more than a fortnight, they kick me off their teat. So here’s a bit of faff for 1) those of you who are related to us and like baby photos and 2) my cyber sugar mamas at BlogHer.

But don’t fret, the semester is wrapping up and I can see glimpses of that elusive ‘free time’ on the horizon.

PJ Harvey’s 1995 album “To Bring You My Love” is one of the finest of that decade. But Harvey tends to get overlooked when people think about great artists of the 90’s. This track is a good example of why we shouldn’t forget about her. If you like it, buy the album from PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love.
