A Break for a Hiatus

I've always liked the word hiatus. I think it ought to mean some kind of violent event: "Calling all cars, hiatus outside the courthouse". However, it doesn't, it means a break or interruption in service - like what this blog is heading for. I'm going somewhere where the network connection may be flaky for a while. I'm leaving the blog to the tender mercies of number one son
Incidentally, I've also always liked the word miasma. Until I found out what it means that is. However, my favourite word (and also the favourite of loads of people) is serendipity - which I only found by mistake..

Normal service - or what passes for normal - will resume in a little while.
