I've always liked the word hiatus. I think it ought to mean some kind of violent event: "Calling all cars, hiatus outside the courthouse". However, it doesn't, it means a break or interruption in service - like what this blog is heading for. I'm going somewhere where the network connection may be flaky for a while. I'm leaving the blog to the tender mercies of number one son

Incidentally, I've also always liked the word miasma. Until I found out what it means that is. However, my favourite word (and also the favourite of loads of people) is serendipity - which I only found by mistake..

Normal service - or what passes for normal - will resume in a little while.

 

Best buy of the week dept: Managed to snag a copy of "Another Monty Python Record" at a discount price. If you have not heard any Python then you are missing out big time. And their records are great. Just listening the "The Death of Mary Queen of Scots" I had tears running down my face. And not because I'm from Scotland.
