Packing up shop for a while

My suitcase is packed, I’ve checked my tickets, passport, and toothbrush, and I’m off. To Madrid to be precise.

Things might be a little quiet round here for the next week, but don’t delete me from your RSS reader just yet. I’ll be back next week, hopefully with a few photos of Madrid to show off [...]
