Oh dear...how did this happen?

how could I have missed an entire calendar month without writing an entry? Not that anyone (not many anyway) cares...but I do...so here I am cheating by writing something, just something so as not to miss a month in the collection...so as to get in here before the clock strikes midnight and August...

...Am doing far too much to stop and think let alone stop and write...

...While I am active, I am fine...but when I stop I panic. So I haven't stopped for a month...both work and play have been go go go...

...In fact there is no reason for panic...If only I could trust the feeling, it'd be like swimming in the Dead Sea, the water will keep me not just afloat but even sitting. Instead, I waddle trying to keep my head above water which after a while gets tiring and I sink...momentarily of course...then the survival instinct kicks in and I come back up...

...Soon I'll be going to Istanbul for 10 days, am looking forward to a slower tempo and the opportunity to swim...the sea is clean enough now apparently...the last time I swam in Istanbul I was 16...I can't begin to describe my excitement - I have butterflies in my tummy - about the prospect.

It's not like I've not had any time off lately. I was in Spain - in particular in Ibiza - last week of June and had started to write up my notes from that trip but it's not finished yet.

...Soon...more...
