I am also joining the exodus and taking a break from blogging.

Sad but understandable. Hope to see you back blogging if and when you have the time (or passion overrides better judgment).

Thanks very much indeed, folks, for all your kind words. I’m pretty sure it’ll be a sabbatical rather than a departure – so I imagine I’ll be seeing you all in June. And the horrendous task of marking 120 essays when it comes around might see an earlier temporary visit!

Another piece of sad news, your contribution will certainly be missed Mark. All the best with the teaching and hopefully you’ll rejoin the neverending stoush down the track.

Well, I can understand Mark. 18 contact hours. Its a wonder you find time to log on and even read.

I trust you’ll allow yourself the occasional dabble though. Its a big year; with reasonable odds on Rodentus Terminus.

Steering clear for good may prove burdensome!

decisions made at 1.46am on a sunday morning are often the most significant – leave the husband, quit the job, come out, change cities, tell the sister-in-law you hate her guts…

and take time out from your own blog, in a federal election year.

thanks mark – for what you’ve set up here – i do hope under your new policy – that you might find time to log on and say hi and “have a laff” (are you having a laff?”) on the sat forums etc.

whatever, your students are the big winners here.

hope to see you back in june, if not before.

Sometimes you have to prioritise. Hope that your focussing is productive, Mark!

All the best Mark, but first it was the OC and now you. Where will I get my humanity. Sigh, I guess I’ll have to just lurch to the right.

Please hurry back as soon as you have the opportunity and until then I hope the break makes your day to day life easier.
