Well, it’s two places of course – but yes, we are still in central Nottingham during the week and the Derbyshire cottage at weekends. That said, we often extend our weekends, working from Derbyshire on Mondays, and occasionally on Fridays as well. The Nottingham office closed last April, and after two or three months commuting to the new base office in Leeds – two and a half hours from door to door, each way, feel my pain – the powers-that-be decreed that working from home was fine after all. So now I just have social isolation to combat.

This might change later in the year, though. K will soon be required to spend an uncertain amount of time at an office near Leeds, so adjustments may be made. But this also depends on work factors from my side, which are as yet far from clear. It’s complicated, as nobody said in 2004/05.

I think you would. I still sport a full head of hair –although it’s a lot greyer round the sides than it used to be – and my girth remains acceptably trim. One significant adjustment: I’ve switched from lenses to specs, which might throw you off the scent. (On the rare occasions when I can be arsed to put my lenses in, I am regularly blanked in public, so it probably works both ways.) I mostly wore lenses to look hot and shaggable, but I’m blissfully unencumbered by such considerations these days. Unless I’m in XXL.

Spotify Premium on the iPhone. At the cottage, I stream it via Bluetooth to a DAC, which is plugged into the multi-room hi-fi. It sounds every bit as good as CDs. I still buy CDs, due to some quaint residual notion that artists should be compensated, but they don’t get played much.

My original blog is still there, but since Blogger withdrew FTP support, I can no longer update it. I started a WordPress blog, but I never update it. Sometimes, I even have to Google for the URL.

I started a community blog for our village in March 2008, and it’s still going very strongly indeed, with multiple new posts daily. I’m part of a team of five, and we all put a huge amount of time and effort into it. So I’m still blogging all the time, but not in a style that Troubled Diva readers would recognise.

I’ve also been maintaining a press archive blog since 2009. Nobody reads it, but I like to have all my writing in one place.

I’ve never completely shut myself off to the possibility of re-starting Troubled Diva, though. Much as I love Twitter, it’s terribly transient. (Blogs feel like vinyl; Twitter’s more like a streaming service.) But my whole conception of writing has changed since I started doing it semi-professionally, and I’m not sure I could recapture the innocence (and the adverbs, oh, the adverbs!) of my old blogging voice. And then there’s the whole “over-sharing” thing to consider. Printed bylines do rather change the game, over-sharing-wise. I could go on about this all day, you know.

Having served the cocktails at their online engagement party – my all-time fondest memory of Uborka v1.0 – I’d like you to interview Stuart and Krissa, the living embodiments of Love At First Sight. I suspect that you’re just going to ask them the same questions that you asked me and Mark, but a little more gentle probing into the divine machinations of their Deep and Abiding Union wouldn’t go amiss, I guess…
