It’s holiday time, folks
Almost everyone I know is on holiday right now. Mostly they’ve gone to sweltering latitudes to escape the constant rain and floods here in England.
A typical English summer scene — this year at least
Contrariwise — as usual — I’m staying at home this year, although living on the English Riviera is a good incentive not to leave.
Actually, we are planning a major location move in October to a new Syntagma Towers. So, instead of leaving everything to the last minute, I’m going to spread it out over the next two months to lessen the load.
All this is just to say, normal service will continue here at Syntagma over the holiday period. Wherever you’re going, have a great time — and stay in touch.
Mind how you go.
Spreading out the moving workload, eh? Well, good intentions is always a start – I’ve been trying to do my moves this way several times (I’m a nomad!) but never succeeded to avoid those last days stress. Best of luck, John!

Thord, it’s the only way I can contemplate moving without having a fit.
The books alone will fill a medium-sized transit van, and the office equipment is going to be a real pain — I’m not into WiFi, so I’ve got cables all over the place.
“Travel light” is a great motto, but difficult in practice.

Indeed it is. I was on cables before too, but when I moved to my previous (rented) house I just left them behind. Wifi FTW, as the hip kids would say?!
Still, best of luck! Hopefully you can stick to your moving and packing schedule better than I can.

Thanks, Thord.
I don’t know why your comments are being pushed into moderation every time. We have first-post mod, but thereafter you should get in okay. There must be a word or part of word in there that triggers the spam trap.
It’s a hell of a pain, as even an English county like “Middlesex” triggers the trap. I’ll leave you to figure which part of that brings the drawbridge up.

Maybe I’m just considered dangerous by nature?

It’s happened again, damn it!
I’ve looked at the banned word list, but nothing linked to you. Oddly, James Blunt is in there. I wonder what he’s done to deserve that? — sing, maybe.
I’m sure it will resolve itself soon. Maybe the WordPress coders have got a thing about Sweden.

Has to be it, huh?
Bring it on!
By TDH on July 26th, 2007 at 1:35 pm
It worked that time. I actually took out James Blunt from the list, so maybe you’re not who you say you are.
By John Evans on July 26th, 2007 at 1:38 pm
I find that remark offensive! James Blunt indeed…
By TDH on July 26th, 2007 at 1:49 pm
And there was me thinking it was a compliment.
By John Evans on July 26th, 2007 at 2:00 pm
Not in my book, John. And judging from your comments above, not in your either!
