Silence

I will be silent on here while I am on holiday. I am sure I will have lots of reasons to write daily (and post later) and, for all the pointless and vacuous yakking I've been doing on here, I can assure you it has been great practice to keep the writing and the thinking going. I have dropped the guys off at the pets' hotel, I have left the house in a reasonable state of decorum and I have packed as little as possible, in the vainglorious hope that the AmEx will sprout an interest-free-not-to-be-paid-until-2100 fund just before I touch down. And seeing that leaving without a pic seemed like a really lame way to go, here's one from my favourite shop, just because.
