Wow, what a hiatus! I wonder if there are any RSS readers (of the human variety) left on this blog?

People keep asking me if I've stopped blogging, or if I'm using Facebook instead. My answer so far has been "I don't know." I'm certainly not replacing blogging with social networking as I love the purity of the simple blog. Anyway enough of this. I know how boring it is reading people's "should I or shouldn't I's" on this subject.

Since I last checked in a lot has happened. I've been semi-holidaying in Sweden for almost a month now, two weeks of which was spent recovering from a chest infection in the beautiful countryside of Småland. It's a semi-holiday because I'm still working, just from somewhere different. You see I'm moving back to Sweden for the Autumn, so I'm breaking myself in gently.

I'm finally reading Velvet Elvis, a book that has been recommended to me more times than I can remember, and now I understand why. I love how Bell wrestles with issues that authors like Willard, Wright, Fee and Petersen have, but in a language that is far more accessible. There are a lot of ideas buzzing around at the moment that I might, given the chance, ponder on here at some point.

If you get the chance visit happybirthdaydenison.com, where the wonderful Denison Witmer recorded 30 of his songs acoustically, and for free download, to celebrate his 30th Birthday. I heard him at the Malmö Festival and loved every minute, despite the venue the Klaxons were playing in being far too close.

Have a nice evening.
