Sabbatical Day 1

So it is the first day of my sabbatical.

I hope to be banging on the doors of the gym at their not terribly early opening time.

After that I'm off to Penhurst Retreat Centre for a Quiet Day on my own (though there is a group also using the place for a silent retreat so I hope I get there early enough to secure a comfortable armchair). I will of course be taking more books than is reasonable and I might throw in my walking boots. In a radical commitment to the spirit of the thing, I am even thinking of having 7 hours or so without the interweb.
