Getting away from it all so you can get closer to it at the end

It's the first time in some years I have had a holiday, not just a tour of duty and I tell you it works wonders. It was only a short one but it has had quite an effect. I aint never gonna diss holidays. Before, I sometimes couldn't understand the point. I know, I know, don't scowl some of us are late developers.

The point isn't the holiday itself though, yes it is fun but it's actually about how you feel afterwards. You see things much more clearly when returning to normality and you come into focus too.

Brother's Wisdom

Brother: "No don't approach the council that way. It can come across as adversarial"
Me: "OK I wont"
Brother: "If you do make sure everything you say is absolutely flawless. Any fact that is questionable or incorrect will be zeroed into, whatever else you say however valid will be ignored and your progress will be stopped. "
Me: "Oh is that how the council operates?"
Brother: "That's how everyone operates."

If I could be asked to draw, it could become a cartoon strip.
