We are back although it will take a day or two until I can settle back into any kind of routine. The holiday was a splendid smörgåsbord of food, drink, relaxation, sun, sea and more drink. One thing missing from the feast was a decent Internet link and therefore I had to try and get used to life off-line and this wasn't easy at all : "I have seen the past and it sucks", as someone might have said. I am therefore in the process of digital victualling. I am proud to say that I have just Googled "digital victualling" only to discover not one single hit: I can therefore claim to have invented the phrase, which I will define as follows:
DIGITAL VICTUALLING : The process of restocking and resupplying digital information flows following a period of prolonged off-line activity in order to provide sustenance to the digital traveler.
Whilst I rediscover what has been happening in the world and what all my blogging friends have been up to I will feature one or two of the pictures I took whilst I was away, Today's was taken in Gibraltar and shows, appropriately enough, the wonderfully ancient street sign for Victualling Office Lane.
Welcome back. We look forward to feasting on any morsels you throw our way.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Alan - Blogland seems a bit dead at present.
ReplyDeleteGood phrase, and congratulations on finding one that Google didn't know. I will give Google a couple of days to get educated and then enjoy Googling "digital victualling." (My spell-checker didn't know the phrase either, but it has be taught now.)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back safely especially after Internet withdrawl. Great new phrase "digital victualling" :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I was beginning to wonder if you had wandered off somewhere! Glad you are back!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back and congratulations on inventing a new phrase!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! It's seemed quiet without you. I look forward to a few juicy morsels shared from your travels. Does that street sign really mean Victualling? Am I just gullible?
ReplyDeleteWelcome Back !
ReplyDeleteHooray! Alan's back. Let the fun begin!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! It's good to be away from the internet for awhile though...right?
ReplyDeleteWelcome back and great that you had a good holiday.
ReplyDeleteBy the way - I'm expecting to see some pictures of you rowing down a street in Hebden Bridge...
ReplyDeletehaha...leave it to you to invent such a catchy modern phrase! Welcome back! You were missed!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great photos of a very old interesting sign. Welcome back to land.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Alan. I am sorry it has taken me a few days to get around to saying so. I haven't been visiting blogs much in the last week or so. I simply LOVE this wonderful sign! I don't think I've seen one like it in England, I suppose it would have been taken down years ago by modernisers if it had been here!
