Just kidding, people. There used to be a T-shirt back in the 90s with words to that effect, or a little cruder, to be honest, and whilst petty bureaucracy and inefficiency have been taking their toll of me to a huge extent of late, there are times when living here is, well, heavenly!

You’re very kind. That was the only decent shot I got of the moon. Living here it helps to sort what is important from what is not, I guess! Tonight I went with a friend to watch the moon rise again. Lack of tripod meant that every one of my photos was a dud, but I realized it, and just turned off the camera and breathed it in instead – Much as I love taking photos, I do believe that sometimes the camera gets in the way of real appreciation!
