to be honest.... well there are 2 contributing factors Mike and I wont beat around the bush.
1. I have been too ill to observe anything of late
2. i am basically too lazy. I have made 1 observing report (not even a proper one) in my short astro observing life. I am too busy observing to write anything down usually.
3. see 2....
ok 3 wasnt necesary. I think you will find that its the same for others here... but I could be wrong.
I usually have my own agenda when I take the scope out too. I guess 1 or 2 wouldnt be too hard but i still woulnt do a sketch and any report made would probably not be a formal type (see point 2).
my report would be something like

looked at ngc under XXX seeing conditions, it looked fuzzy/roundish with a central bright 6 mag (guess) star. it was a few days ago so i cant remember much more detail or the surrounding area...

or more detail if i do it the next day...
like i say, i usually have my own agenda for observing tho.
