The last few weeks have flown by reasonably quickly with a weighty mixture of work and travel. I’m not going to bore you with the minutiae of what I do with hammers,chisels and lime mortar! A visual summary can be seen in bite size in the section of this site called ‘Spy’.

As for the travel…

A couple of weeks ago I returned to Romsey in Hampshire to join my sister Lauren in celebrating her twenty first birthday. It was an odd landmark to witness in life as I was drawn to mentally review where the last twenty one years have gone and the apparent speed they seemed to fly off in!

It’s a sobering reminder how none of us are getting any younger. This is not to say that I’m feeling old, it is just alarming to suddenly realise the perception that a couple of decades can appear to whiz by in a similar manner to the way a week, a month or a year can. I’ve found coping strategies in dealing with the illusion of time flying. These usually boil down to pausing for a moment and reminding yourself about all the things that have happened in ‘x’ time span. You naturally recall a lengthy list of events that break down the ‘quick year’ into something far more satisfying  sense of time passing at a reasonably acceptable rate.

It’s just that the process gets trickier when dealing with decades. Perhaps I should blog more often… or maybe not.

(Blog entry abandoned due to embarrassingly lengthy hiatus from  spilling the metaphoric beans about my life online. I made no promises that this was going to be a ‘good read’ did I ?)

Let’s start again in another entry shall we ?
