I usually shut down for a month in August to recharge the blog-batteries, but this year I think I need a longer recharge period. Lots to do in the months ahead, a considerable need to spend some time doing nothing much… it all points to a suspension of some routine activities. There may be occasional notes on things, or longer posts if the spirit takes me, and you’ll get updates on those if you sign up to the Feedburner thing (look right, and down). See you in September (-ish).
