Well, I’m back in the office and eager to get back into the blogging groove, once I catch up with work stuff, which should be within the next month or two. It wasn’t the most stress-free of holidays, though I am oddly refreshed. I wont say much about what’s been happening in Kenya, apart from that it was both worse and not as bad as the punditry would have it. On the home front, my mother-in-law finished her “water project” up at the farm. The tank shown below is now up and delivering running water to the compound.

There may be a big blank space above. It ought to be a fancy link to a video of Levon Helm singing Poor Old Dirt Farmer. Lovely song, but with the ethanol subsidies and everything it is hard to imagine even the poorest old dirt farmer unable to make a living growing corn.

Anyway, I’m rested, relaxed and raring to go. ¹ There’s only one way to catch up with the backlog of stuff that’s come in over the past two weeks, and that is to ignore it. Inevitably, that means missing some good stuff, but if we were to look for it we’d never get started again. So help us out.

Is there some really interesting bit of agrobiodiversity news we’ve missed? Some new twist on agricultural biodiversity? Let us know. Thanks.

So we discussed this thing among ourselves, and decided that we would both have a more enjoyable rest if we put this blog to rest too. Temporarily. That way we won’t be fretting about connections and internets and all that technology. Just about over-eating, our solemn duty at this time of year.

In the meantime, you could visit our page of links and try visiting some of them from time to time. So, for a couple of weeks we’re off to our respective non-work homes. We wish you everything you might wish for yourselves, and we’ll see you early in January.
