Injury-related downtime
Greetings, readers. Just a brief note to say that I appear to have done something seriously wrong to the muscle groups in my lower back.
Why should you care? Well, this means that blog-work will be thin on the ground until the situation improves - because at this precise moment, sitting in my swivel chair is like being stabbed in the sides with screwdrivers, and hence large periods of intarweb interaction are not only undesirable, but probably making the situation worse. I hope to be back to normal in a day or two - I’ll try to keep doing some basic link-work, but don’t expect the usual twenty-plus links every day. Sorry.
In the meantime, thanks for reading - normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Lie still and get better. I did something like that a couple of years ago.
Thankfully, there appear to be no lasting ill effects.
I also went to a physical therapist who gave me some good stretching exercises that I think have helped.

[...] My life has, in fact, been even less fascinating than usual this week (stop laughing at the back). The mystery back-damage meant I spent two and a half days sat on my arse on my sofa. That’s the sort of thing that sounds like heaven when you’re stuck at work feeling dog rough, but the funny thing about sitting down all the time is that it’s nowhere near as enjoyable when you can’t actually do anything else. The silver lining was that I managed to get a whole mass of reading done. [...]
