Have I been a bit quiet? That’s because I’ve been here:
And enjoying sights like these:
And also spending time with our nephew:
More photos on Flickr, as usual.
Last week I did about 1000km of driving in Poland – the first time I’d driven on the “wrong” side of the road, too. Bit of an unfortunate start to the break, since I managed to leave Ola’s passport at home. Still, it all came together in the end.
Whilst away I also (finally!) read most of The Long Tail, and all of a really great, fun and highly readable book called the The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear, which I thoroughly recommend.
I also explored a bunch of interesting new music on the iPod via the Song by Toad podcast, which is worth a listen. Episode 8 is stuffed with new music which I love (Emmy the Great, Monkey Swallows the Universe), Episode 5 has some other cool stuff (Alex Cornish, Thunderegg), and Episode 6 is just hilarious.
Back to it. Service to be resumed shortly.

Hooray! Great to have you back.
Glad you had a wonderful time and managed to avoid too much technology.
Looking forward to more of your ramblings 🙂 and now I have *another* book to add to my “want to read” list on FB.

Welcome back!
Nice pics… you’ve got me thinking that I should try and learn how to take better pics of Grace

Thanks for the comments. Chris, interesting to hear we have the Poland thing in common 😉
I managed to avoid technology for the most part, except for an adventure installing Polish Windows XP on a UK-bought (and licensed) laptop… necessitating re-activation… on the phone… all rather “interesting”!
Dale, I have a load more photos to upload. We did a little “photoshoot” with Beniamin on the last day so I had some helpers to keep him smiling… but ultimately I wasn’t happy with a lot of the shots – luckily I only have to pick out the good ones 🙂

Thanks for the link Andy. I wondered about posting Episode 6 at all, it had all gone so downhill by the end. I’m sort of glad I did by now, but I had my doubts!
