I think the word is...

...hiatus.
Friends. I'm withdrawing. Mostly. Doing a mass unsubscribe of threads. Trying not to subscribe to many more.
Why? My life is suddenly enormously complicated. I have to prioritise certain things:
- TCOB, both Domestically and Professionally.
- Staying healthy.
- Chilling. Enjoying this lovely summer.
- Reading the Metaphysical Poets.
Now I'm by no means falling into a black hole. I just have to do it smarter than with the outdated technology of hootoo.
I hope some people will want to stay in touch. Some have my details. Or you can get them easily enough (see my PS). If you're unsure whether I want to hear from you?...well - if you want to say something to me, I want to hear it. For some of you who I'm not already on e-mail terms with...I hope you'll take a hint and get in touch. You know who you are. I hope.
Some of you I'll want in my LinkedIn network. This is going to be vital over the coming months. Please respond to any invites I throw out. (They'll be in my RL name)
And, yes, I'll still be doing some selective hootoo.
Thank you all for your support over the years, especially one lady whose kind words took me out of a dark place and got me involved in this community.
And if - by an outside chance - you recognise the reference in the title and first line, you are an enormously 
person who *must* keep in touch.

Tings an' stuff.

1) A lovely lunch with my friend (first) and colleague (2nd but valued), F. We give each other pep talks and the occasional cuddle. I introduced her to here: A536546 - which is not at all as described. *Wicked* Desi food. We had to keep looking around furtively for eavesdroppers. 
Our conversations aren't usually quite so...frank. 
. And we've hatched a cunning plan to **** with our colleagues' heads...
2) We got a new baby Guinea Rabbit, Peppers. We were wondering if it would get on OK with Mittens. But they seem to get on well. Brokeback Pig. 
3) My new object of lust and craving is an eee. They appear to be awfully good. Everyone speaks highly of them. And cheap! And they work on Linux.

* See note.
Well! I was certainly happy when I left Scandinavia!
Because I had *such* a fantastic time.
* Van Morrison reference: 'Listen to the Lion'.
and we sailed and we sailed
