I must apologise. For the quality of the blogging here lately. It’s been a bit uninspired and repetitive, I think, and I’m sorry. I did think about whether having a blog break would be a good thing, but I found I wanted, needed, the routine of waking up and having this blog to sit with.
Much of my blogging this past couple of weeks has consisted of me writing the first thing that comes to mind and letting it all pour out in a revolting deluge, looking at it quickly, and feeling somewhat better. Then I either hit the delete button or edit it savagely pre-publication, so that I don’t look at it in six months and hang my head in horror. I’ve also been scribbling on paper whenever the need arises during the day. It’s a good curative, is writing.
It’s been very good to have time to myself everyday, just to sit and fester for a bit. Although I do think it’s time to shake myself out of this funk now and start pushing myself a bit. Starting to ponder what projects I’d like to do this year. So far they all seem to involve languages and books!

Hi CW. If I thought your life was just blog-fodder for me to read – and that it should always be a 100% totally unproblematic place so that I can read about it – then I’d accept your apology.
I’m subscribing to your blog, not your life…so your blog should try to be interesting. BUT with the blogs I read regularly, a big attraction is the window they give me into other peoples’ minds, places and projects. Light and shade is good.
Mmmmmm …. new projects.
“So far they all seem to involve languages and books!”
Isn’t that a big part of what a librarian is all about? 🙂
I just hope I can find the energy to start/sustain anything 🙂
