Okay, I'm still alive!

Sorry for the three months of silence - the fact is, I've been pretty seriously depressed for quite a long time now, so it's been hard to summon the enthusiasm for mindless rambling bloggery on a regular basis. Really, quite a lot has happened over the months that it seems like people really want to read me going on about, so I shall endeavour to catch you all up with what's been going on, since you all asked so nicely...
