back in business
Actually, no not really, because coming back to work is like falling into a rushing river - first the icy cold water slaps you out of your holiday reverie, followed by a period of disorientation as you try and figure out whether you're sinking or floating, followed by you grasping and sputtering to the surface, with no time to feel relieved after your first gasp of air because immediately you must to get your limbs in order and start swimming in the right direction (or perhaps to a nice big rock or the shore) while everything rushes by, and you're constantly in danger of being swept into little dizzying eddies that threaten to trap you into a spin, never to break free.
(Or perhaps you are a well-adjusted individual more adept at coping with the vagaries of life and you think I'm being dramatic.)
In any case, regular posting will soon resume, along with a better rendering of my wanderings in Turkey, once I wrestle all my work commitments into a more manageable state. I hope everyone is well!

i ying: wow that trip didn't feel that long ago and you've reminded me that it's practically been 2 years.
I'm also dealing with the same thing of trying to ease myself back from my holiday. Luckily we are going away again soon. Truthfully, I do tend to work a bit remotely and check in on things (I'm getting better about this), so I'm not so overwhelmed when I come back...
Oh and your birthday is around this time of year. Hope you have a great year!
Lindsay K: Thanks! To be honest it's quite tough going putting together my thoughts on Turkey - it was quite overwhelming and I hope I can do it justice when I start posting about the trip!
Kali: It was amazing - I bought a number of books while I was there and I wish I read some of them before I got there because I think it have helped me get a better "feel" of what I saw.
