Hello.
This is my friend, Stick Man.
He would like to read a message on behalf of me. He’s been practising very hard and working on his best speaking voice, but he’s a bit nervous so please just bear with him. Thanks.
(He’s not used to public speaking.)
Isn’t he doing well?
There. What a good job he made of it. I’m sure he’ll stay and take a bow before…
Oh.
Well, maybe he had to rush off somewhere. Another appointment or something. Yep. That’ll be it.
Thanks anyway, Stick Man.
BECKY SAYS THINGS 
I suppose we’ll all just have to forgive your absence. 😉 Stick man did a very good job. Good luck with the paper. Hope you’re back soon. 🙂
Thank you! I will be back soon 🙂
Thought that was the reason and not that you haven’t had any thoughts or opinions worth blogging. Welcome back & hope dissertation is received well!
Thanks! So do I!
I’d like to Hire stick man for the next MIME I attend. Hehehehe…
Muah!!!

To be honest, he’s a good little worker, but he’s a little expensive. Diva tendencies as well, which is quite unattractive in a stick man. 🙂
I hear ya!!!
Muah!!!
Sooz
I’ve been away all week so I haven’t missed you anyway.
I’m so totally lying of course.
❤
It’s okay, I don’t mind lies that hide true feelings of emotional angst. 🙂
I thought it was me. As soon as I followed you, you stopped writing. It is all about me. Good luck with your dissertation!
Haha oh no! That’s terrible! This is precisely why I had Stick Man read my apology, because I don’t want people to make the effort to follow me and then think I’ve buggered off!
But yeah, it was you. 🙂
Thanks!
Maybe Nick Clegg should employ stick man
Excellent idea. They make far better public speakers.
Ok, you’ve won me over by making a personal announcer out of a stick man,though I do think you’d do well to communicate directly with your readership whenever possible, using stickman risks making you look a bit “out of touch.” Nevertheless, you have a new blog follower =)
To be honest, I wanted to make the apology personally but stick man shouldered his way in and practically demanded that he read it. So I didn’t really have a choice. But I’m very glad you decided to follow me 🙂 Thank you!
