Returning

This post needed a picture so here is the view from underneath the crossing tower of York Minster.

I have been away from the blog for awhile so that I could write some real academic prose.  More recently, the Passengers have been away from Singapore for awhile thanks to visitors and visits.  We have managed to fit in Indonesia, Britain, America, and Britain once more.  Half of us are again in Singapore because work can't wait, but we plan to be reunited soon.  Fortunately, the time away has been refreshing, productive, and remarkably unencumbered by volcanic activity.  Hopefully, more posts will follow this one, but actual schoolwork, like simmering volcanoes, remains a credible threat.
