*Checks oven not left on*

That's okay then.

Hey, I'd forgotten how nice it is here. smiley - smiley

And now... the end is near...

So,

Just a brief note to say that on January 7th, Anna will be returning from her maternity leave to reclaim her rightful position as Deputy Editor of h2g2, and consequently, I'll be shot into space for NASA target practice. smiley - smiley

I'd just like to say that it's been a pleasure working with you all - it's been entertaining, enlightening and occasionally surreal. I will, it seems, be working part-time as a Sub, though, so I may get to retain my Italic status, but the stately duties will be left in the capable hands of Anna, Sam and Ashley. Well, Anna at least. smiley - winkeye

I'm off to make bizarre electronic music and surreal digital films for a couple of months, so expect to see me living underneath a bridge sometime in the near future...

Cheers everyone!

Chris

Holiday, sweet holiday...

This weekend I shall be setting off with the girl for southern Spain. We'll be spending a week walking in the Sierra Aitana, eating bread, ham and olives, drinking wine, and generally living a delightfully non-technological life.

The deal is that we ankle nonchalantly through the mountains from hotel to restaurant to hotel with small day-packs for water, cameras, etc, and our heavy luggage is carted around for us in a van. Civilised, neh?

Apparently, the temperature there ranges from 15 to 25 degrees C, so it'll be pleasantly warm (and dry). I think I remember the sun - big orangey-yellow thing in the sky, right?

Have a fun week without me. smiley - smiley

Two weeks

I did have a little American flag [**=] in my nickname, but since the mourning is now 'officially over', it's gone. I saw it on someone else's nickname a week or so ago, and did the only decent thing - stole it. smiley - smiley It seemed rather a good thing to have there.

What a two weeks it's been, though. I've been astonishingly impressed by the number of people being comforting and welcoming here, and by the depth of some of the political discussion.

It's an honour to work on a site where people can really help each other and learn a little bit more about the world: governments, people, religions, politics - everything. And to be good and silly sometimes as well... smiley - smiley

Slightly Scilly Party

It was a week of unrestrained and thoroughly committed sitting-around-on-beaches, eating-of-fresh-fish, drinking-of-fine-wines-and-beers, pootling-about-amongst-islands-in-a-boat, guffawing with good friends, and saving-up-of-hyphens.

I'm brown, fit, healthy and wide-eyed again. Did I mention brown?

I also took 2 hours of quality video footage and about 320 photos with my new DVcam, which is, to understate it massively, exceptionally fine. Now to bore the bejeezus out of my parents with the 'Director's (un)Cut'.

I'd say it's nice to be back, but I'm afraid nothing except an anarcho-cynicalist cyber-arsonist can hold a candle to real life...
