| A dramatic day in Hannover |
After what seems like an age, I've been on holiday. And after what seems like an age, I am blogging here again. Loads, and and not much has happened since I last managed to post anything here; drafts started and never completed, a few posts written and published on Engineer Blogs and Canny Engineer, many thoughts thought and not brought to maturity.
It was time to enter into the spirit of the holiday refresh; physically and emotionally to slough away the encasing skins of work and immerse myself with the family in discovering the city of Hannover, catching up with friends in Rastede and then off to the beach and onto a fishing boat in Eckernförde were great ways of getting the drudgery of work out of the system. Equally, it was good to get the kids to sleep, leave my wife ensconsced in a book, and to set myself at a keyboard to type. Most of the four thousand words and upwards were written in a holiday diary, offline. But I was able to chip away at a few online thoughts, too. Now it's time to get words out, in more or less the right order, onto the Internet.
Most of the holiday was spent offline, which was refreshing, especially for my diary. I had no need to think about format, spelling or trying to find appropriate pictures - it was liberating, but I missed the "edge" of posting to the public, even if the public is looking elsewhere.
So, here we go again. It's nice to be back.
