Easing back on from being “off off”

Friday, Sep 24th marked the 1444th day (ie nearly four years) in a row that I posted daily since beginning this blog. I then took ten days to “switch off”, choosing a quiet and slowed down vacation at the location shown above. Yes, it was as peaceful as it looks.

On the first weekday of that holiday I then received a message from a colleague:

I was truly “off off”, with a week away and a few days “off” at home. So, today, with this blog and my work diary, I am easing back in rather than going right to “on on”. Normal service will be resumed shortly as I ramp up to “on on”, fully recharged and raring to go!

PS my site traffic rapidly rose when I stopped writing, hitting all-time record levels for the month of September. I wonder what that is telling me ;)
