Not sure whether I will get round to even looking at my blog, let alone write something over the next few days. Yes, I’m taking a break, would you believe it! Tomorrow at the crack of dawn will get the ferry and go to Rotterdam, just doing nothing (except for reading of course). I am taking the laptop, cannot imagine life without it, so I may just have a peek and when there is inspiration then that’s great. Otherwise, I shall talk with family and friends and simply let the world go by. And I will take my camera and a pen and a notebook……

Enjoying life, cleaning the slate and re-starting from zero sometimes help re-inforce our spirit.

Matt: I am!
Jose: exactly what I’m doing!
Meanwhile, a Rotterdam post is up – could not keep away from the blog…
