Nice to have had a few days off, and to have properly escaped the tyranny of a computer with a permanent internet connection. Apart from the odd work-ish tweet this really has been a long weekend away from the routine. There’s been plenty of cheering for a team of teenage footballers, and a squeezed-in walk along a south coast (of England) sea front. I’ve also rediscovered the joys of holidaying in close proximity to thousands of others, and the pleasures of school-style food. Such fun, but always good to be home.
