No submissions, no comments, no brief hellos - what's happening Hoodi, you mince off to Cardiff telling me that you're going with this Photography lark, and then you go all quiet! The time when you should surely be knocking me agog with more images than ever before, and you go all mute!

Indeed.

Things are good in Cardiff. The course is steadily amusing, the people relentlessly surprising, the work suitably frequent - and the stresses, too. Life, really.

The thing is I just don't love you anymore, Devian. You're still my favourite Tart - make no mistake about it. But lets be honest, that's all you really are - a floosy. Good fun to dip into on occasion, but not what I really want in so many ways. But don't despair - I still want to be friends, if you can handle that - I'll try to pop round for tea as often as it takes my fancy, but I really can't make any promises.

We'll just see how it goes, eh?
