I�m going on holiday in 17 days. Oh yes. Planes and jetlag and hotel rooms and walking new streets ahead.

The last holiday I took for Fun was 22 months ago. A lot has happened since then. I�m a bit tired, I think. I need some time to think.

Much as I love this city, much as I know that I never want to leave here, I really want a bit of time out.

But I do expect magic; I do expect to sort out what to do about work or getting on with the little dreams or how to live. And then I try to expect nothing at all.

That�s not too much to ask of 18 days off work, is it?
