I
miss the carefree summer months of childhood and adolescence, even more so
nowadays when the heat calls for laziness rather than the extended attention
required by the increasing amount of work. But since things could be worse I’ll
not press the matter further. However, with plenty of working projects to tide
up before my vacation and with the actual summer holiday to come the blog will
be put on hold. Not for long, although it is for a period longer than the usual.
I could try to infiltrate a post or two before my weeks off the office, but I
would rather write something more consistent at my return instead of a couple
of flimsy ones now. It is a short hiatus and a regrouping at the same time. I will
return to a regular blogging schedule on September, hopefully with the
batteries fully charged. Until then, I hope you’ll all have an awesome summer!
