So then time passed and...

So then time passed and between procrastinating, guilty conscience about procrastinating and generally trying to keep my head above water work-wise, my 365  project got dropped.  That's the short version.  The long version sounds similar but has many more details that are irrelevant to most people but me.

But meanwhile,  here in the middle of winter I am emerging from the long period of hibernation away from this blog. There are also lots of book reviews, stories & ideas on my computer and in the back of my mind, so I'm picking this up again and if it then turns out not to be 365 consecutive days, then let it be a kind of metaphorical 'year' of a period during which I write about books and share some pictures & quotes & things.

Let's see what happens.

Some pictures from the past (not mine, but fascinating)

Meanwhile, while I'm warming up to start with the books 'n things again, have a look at this bit of nostalgia - pictures scanned from a tourist brochure (1965-1966).
