Service Interruption

Gone are the days when Zelo Street put out the thick end of a hundred blog posts a month, and no, they’re not coming back. But even the more reduced and occasionally leisurely writing régime of 2022 is sometimes too much: the next few days, and maybe a few more periods of a few days after that, will most likely demand enough of my attention to interrupt normal service.


There’s going to be a lot of travelling, meeting people, getting to grips with as yet unknown ways of working, and lots of the kind of stuff that leaves folks in an ever so slightly stressed state. So the likelihood is that blog posts will be an occasional item until next week, and not much more than occasional for a week or two after that. Needs must. Some things you don’t do so often.

I may well reveal all some time after the dust has settled. In the meantime, there’s always the back catalogue, filled with observations and revelations from thirteen and a half years at the blog face. Yes, it’s really that long ago.

Maintaining radio silence does not mean I’ve gone away. Not yet, anyhow.

  3. Sorry to hear all this, but your life is your life and it has to come first. Do everything you need to do, blog when you're able, and once everything becomes clear, still blog when it works for you to do. We are not entitled to override your life.

  4. Best wishes, Tim.

    As someone who's been blogging for as long as you have, one essential asset is stamina.

  5. Many thanks for all of your hard work as always. Always far better comment than the Tory client media could ever dream of writing.

    Wishing you all the best, I will miss the postings but your life always comes first. Looking forward to more when, and only when, circumstances allow. Cheers.

    Tim, I know we have had our differences over the years, but Zelo Street remains a favourite of those of us who frequent the mailwatch forum. Thank you for your contribution over the years and hope to see you again soon.
