Because I am back on the ground, in front of a computer with a REAL keyboard....
The trip was fantastic. Not without snags and stresses, but overall both an intellectual kick to the head and 2 weeks of profound change of pace. I'll write more as I have time and get my thoughts organized - there was just so much!
Right now I'm hip deep in laundry and other "just got home from 2 weeks away" maintenance. I did go in to work today, but was tired/jetlagged enough that I didn't get much done apart from delete email. On the plus side, I was tired/jetlagged enough not to care about my lack of productivity :P
In my absence it seems like LJ and seemingly every other site I use on a regular basis updated their looks/feels while I was away and the differences + readjusting to a full size screen is surreal on no sleep/tired eyes :P
I'm attempting to get back on a regular schedule and this includes my usual complement of after work activities, including fencing. I am looking to have a massage or similar though, as 2 weeks of lots of walking on unyielding cobblestones has been pretty hard on the old bod. On the up side, I don't think I gained any weight from my gastronomic extravaganza!
Little else I can hammer into coherent text just now - photos will have to wait too, until I can get them off my camera and in a place/shape that's web ready. Watch this space.
