Welcome

My first post. Should feel very momentous and life changing, but somehow the buzz has not kicked in. Maybe I need more coffee. Anyway, welcome. Before you are overwhelmed with the urge to ask, the title of this blog comes from an old family expression - when you've had a really bad/weird/stressful/just damn peculiar day, you tend to end up swinging from the crazy tree. I now seem to be spending a fair bit of my time either in the tree or talking to people who are hanging by the toes from it, so there you go. I bet you're really thrilled I put that explanation in. This blog is a good way for me to stay in contact with my fellow crazy tree dwellers and keep my mum from worrying about what I'm up to, but feel free to come along for the ride.
