The total amount of time out in the wilderness was 6 days 20 hours 10 minutes and 54 seconds. (I was only 9 seconds out on my prediction with the same digits, just the wrong way around (45)) I got the e-mail confirmation at precisely 10am yesterday and sent an over ecstatic e-mail to Pav minutes later. I was back on line, all I had to do was wait for my router to arrive, which it did today.

I am back online and it is a great feeling. I am sure there are a number of my friends out there that are glad to see me return to MSN, I bet “Teg (Offline)” got rather boring after a while and I cannot even remember what my last Facebook status update was! I have sent the occasional tweet via my mobile phone but apart from some heavy duty offline blog posts (a thousand thank you’s to Mr. Pavneet Singh Khural for uploading them yesterday morning) I have been pretty much cold turkey! What has kept me going?

Well I only get onto the computer around 8pm in the evening. There is no time to bum around on the computer like I used to do at home, particularly if it is a gym night (Monday, Wednesday and Thursday for the record). I have tried to space out the “Terwie Care Package: Volume Four” from Saturday and it would have lasted well into this week (well maybe Thursday night at a push!) I have still to watch The Big Bang Theory and three episodes (4, 5 & 6) of Fringe (but as I have got to get hold of episode three first, they are a bit dormant at the moment).

I am trying to get into some routine and see Friday afternoon after work being my clean up the flat time. After watching Newsnight, I go to my room, get changed, read my book for a while, then listen to my portable DAB radio for a while before finally drifting off to sleep. I get up around 7am (or rather my alarm AKA mobile phone goes off then). I get out of bed, have some breakfast while watching BBC Breakfast (something I would only do at weekends back at home). Then get ready for work and usually head out the door sometime just after 8am. I get to the office ten minutes later. I generally leave the office around 5pm, walk home and after checking my mail, eating a banana, grab my gym bag and head to the gym. On Monday evenings it will be a trip to the Sainsbury’s in town straight after my workout to get the weekly shop in. Then it is home, make some food, watch TV and then pick up the cycle again.

Right, I better dash off, I have six days of blogs to read, torrents to queue up, mp3s to get hold of and friends on MSN to catch up with and troll through the news feed on Facebook. Talk amongst yourselves I may be some time.
