I've been away from the internet for exactly a week. This is quite possibly the longest gap I've had without being connected to the world in around five years. I'm taking it as a good sign that I really haven't missed it at all. It's been wonderful not to have been troubled by the need to respond to e-mail ... or post my blog entry for the day! I've been able to turn my head off almost completely, but today it has been necessary to engage it again and that's been a bit of a shock to the system. Fortunately, not too much has come up in my absence, but one rather weird bug did need fixing urgently today and that took all afternoon to track down. It's going to be a busy few days now because we have another system going live next week and there is a fair bit to do in preparation. I also have to update this blog with a week of missing entries. I feel a certain obligation to keep this record complete now.
Went out on the bike with No.2 son again this evening, about 12 miles up Curly Hill, across to Langbar and back via Nesfield. The sky had clouded over since the sunshine of the day - which I had missed from being stuck in the office - but it was a wonderfully balmy evening. The route was my lad's idea. I've been feeling so tired today that I would happily have suggested a ride out to Bolton Abbey and back. He's really keen to get himself fit at the moment. I'm hoping we can build some momentum during the school holidays with the hope that we can keep it going through the autumn and into winter this year.
