I ended up taking a break from posting during the holiday, though not from reading, writing (well, drafting) and generally being more active than I had been at work: trips to the beach, swimming in lakes, visiting towns and family in North East Germany, by the Ostsee (Baltic Sea), all worked their magic, as did the second week at home, including borrowing a Bakfiets for a couple of trips to the tip.
I needed the additional break from posting during my first week back at work, as it is genuinely draining (though fulfilling!), and I’d been sleeping really badly, alas.
Yesterday’s trip up along the Rhein in a 1973 Alfa Romeo GTV was rather good (and, also, exhausting!)
Anyway, some visual impressions from my days off.
