Beijing Nospeak for a little while longer …

If there is anyone still bothering to look at this site then thank you and apologies for needlessly nibbling away at the life of your keyboard over the last month. A combination of factors is to blame for the silence.

First of all, the election of Boris Johnson as mayor of London genuinely shocked me. The main reason though is that I have been devoting a lot more time to getting a freelance gig or two up and running which might prove slightly more profitable (you would hope) than blogging. Plus the well-known visa complications have made the inside of my head mushier and mushier to the extent that I am no longer capable of any coherent thought, my speech consisting of only the letters Z, F, X, L and that elusive J.

Hope to continue writing when things are a bit more settled …
