Brief bulletin

The silence in not-making-it-up-land is because I am in the US for a month of my annual R&R.

I brought a folder of clippings with me, all excellent post material (that is, excellent material — I have no idea if the resulting posts would have been excellent).  I may or may not get to them because it’s astonishing how little I think of Venice when I’m back on my native heath.   It’s extremely relaxing, kind of like being in a mental thermal pool.

I shall return, of course.
