It’s been fun seeing Thailand again. Jet lag is less fun, hence why I’m writing this before 6am UK time, having been awake since 4.30am. I’ve got to go to work in three hours, hopefully I’ll still be just as alert by then.
Almost as much as the activities of the past fortnight, I’ve enjoyed having the time and space to be able to write about things in detail. One of the problems with living the lifestyle of the professional programmer is that there’s so little time left over for the creative. Trained to use the logical functions of my brain all day, when I get home at 7pm or so it can take hours to de-literalise my thoughts and get into a state of mind where I can think about writing prose, lyrics, music, or whatever. But by then it’s usually time for bed.
So yes, postings will become infrequent again, and my creative output will dry up as I move back into the world of work. But it’s been fun, and I’ll be writing on the same scale again in a couple of months time when Sian and I spend a week in Donegal, Ireland for my mother’s wedding.
Until then, I leave you with the promise of at least sporadic posts on life, the universe and everything.
