Apart from a little trip to Darley Abbey Park, I've been busy unpacking and setting up my printer and scanner and playing stupid buggers on the net.
This is a neat site - one of those about.com wotsits.

So are YOU "The Speed Freak?"
Constant foot to the floor on their “stress accelerator”
Borderline workaholic or perfectionist
Everything must get 110% effort, no matter how (un)important it is
Rapid speech; interrupt others frequently
Periods of deep fatigue after all-out effort
Or:
"The Worry Wart"
Have trouble turning off their thoughts
Drive themselves at high RPM, but rarely put themselves in gear for action
Paralysis by analysis; useless wheel spinning worry
Frequent anxiety; tension headaches
Slow to recover or to come down from high-stress situations
OR:
"The Drifter"
Tend to shotgun their energy across many options
In perpetual “mid-life crisis”
Often feel dissatisfied; that life is not “adding up”; or that something is seriously missing in their lives
Doubt their existing goals; don’t buy into anything very deeply
OR:
"The Loner"
Difficulty in giving or receiving easy, relaxed closeness or intimate sharing
Feel uncomfortable with others; often masked with a smile
Feel lonely, often unfulfilled in relationships
Feel alone in carrying burdens or worries
Often drop out of or cancel social events at the last minute
OR:
"Basket Cases"
In constant "energy crisis"
Energy often fades by mid-day
Frequent aches/pains in muscles or joints
Sometimes depressed; feel most activites are too much to do
OR:
"Cliff Walkers"
A walking life insurance company "risk factor chart" - high blood pressure, smoking, alcohol misuse, no exercise
Believe "It will never happen to me"
Usually have a somewhat worn appearance
Difficulty sustaining energy

According to that I'm either a "Loner" or "Drifter" type of stresser.

Anyway, I'm toying with the idea of adding pictures to this.
(assuming I can figure it out)
So you all can enjoy such delights as "The View from my window."
and
"My View at the Valley."
e.t.c
Yes, I can see you all wetting yourselves with excitement now!

I reckon I'm a cliff walking drifter (which is a great first line for a song).
