The Internet Fast

At noon, I am putting down tools for a multi-day break from the computer. I do not believe I will have  gone so long without the internet since 2006, so this has all the seriousness of an experiment. However, it is intended as a form of rest--a deep rest. I need it very much, especially now that "overuse syndrome" has returned to my poor right arm.  It will be interesting to see if I feel withdrawal symptoms.  

Meanwhile, I am not going to watch the news or anything but the most soothing of entertainments. In fact, I wish to return, for that period, to a state of innocence in which I am not conscious of any evil in the world. Let's see if I manage it.

Meanwhile, here are some photos from a walk Benedict Ambrose and I took yesterday. Speaking a state of innocence, we found a paradise not too far away. I was just thinking that it was close to my childhood idea of what Scotland must look like when, from somewhere nearby, we heard the whinnying of a horse. Definitely idyllic. 

Along  the route home.
