I and my two furriest housemates have the house to ourselves this weekend. They intend to spend it basking in the back garden, beating on each other, and sleeping. I intend to spend it reading, playing computer games, and sleeping. Potential visitors are warned that I will probably not be pleased to see anyone unless they bring both food and beer, and they’re in for a short stay anyway. If you need to get in touch, email is best, text messages will probably be read, and I will most likely be ignoring actual phone calls. Instant messenger conversations may be engaged in, but I make no promises.
I expect to emerge from this meditative retreat on Monday morning in a state well-capable of taking on the next few months.
