I am now halfway through my twelve-week summer holidays. (School finished on the 22th of June, with my final GCSE exam.) And to be honest, I’ve made good use of them.
All maps for this blog have been finished. It took a year and a day.
What else have I done, in this ridiculously long break? I said it was twelve weeks long, but in a way it’s seventeen weeks long, if the five weeks of study-leave and exams are to be included. (Exam-days are holy days to me.)
I’ve uploaded thirty photos to Flickr. Eighty-seven percent of those are of common birds.
Anything else? Excluding mundane stuff?
Oh yes. In writing this sentence, I broke my vow of not mentioning the Olympics this summer. I also broke my vow to not write misplaced non-sequiturs. But isn’t a summer break the best time to break trivial promises? You know, to lose yourself and almost drown yourself in a mad well of jubilant befuddlement, free from the well-meaning regime of school with that well-known cycle of home-work and course-work and exams?
Is that not time well spent?
