Not dead...

Just not very well at the moment, and stuck at work feeling sorry for myself. To put it into perspective, I found myself on way home on the tube quite late last night reading Anne Applebaum's Gulag (which I thoroughly recommend by the way) and thinking 'Huh, that's not so bad...'. I exaggerrate, but an unhelpful January inspired ennui has affected me just at the time when there are things to write about.

I think I'm back though - we'll see.
