The Year's End

December 31 is fast approaching and it surely is the time to look back at 2008. But I'm not going to do so since I am not in that kind of mood.

The raison d'etre of the blog is upon us. From Sunday I'll be back at the Guardian and resuming the weekly commute for a couple of days in London. My how it's been wonderful spending more time with my family. But even the bestest things must come to an end.

There have been many changes at the Guardian since I went off last December - the biggest is that it has moved home and is now nearer St Pancras International.

It is kind of the GMEN group to aid my weekly journeys thus. All that cash spent on a huge shunt and I can step off the train and into the office.

I do prefer a bit of separation but that's no longer the issue.
