+# Back home after DebConf
+
+I have not completely caught my breath after DebCamp and DebConf in Heidelberg, that
+ended last sunday.
+
+The central event of the week has been Bernelle and Grahams visit. They are both
+from South Africa and part of the organization team of DebConf16 in Cape Town next
+summer. We met them during DebConf and have become involved in DebConf related
+projects with them, of both communicative, graphical and technical nature. They
+spent three days here, calmly exploring the island on their own and drinking beer.
+Graham and Jonas fiddled with a Debian installation for minicomputers and -boards,
+and Bernelle helped me (on her own initiative) cutting back the hedge facing the
+road. We are hoping to work and visit with them in Cape Town during the months
+leading up to DebConf16.
+
+My parents have been staying in a summer hut in North Sealand this week. We spend
+half a day together in Tegner's Museum in the beginning of the week. After some
+logistical troubles we also managed to meet up in Copenhagen along with Asbjørn
+and Alvilda and Axel friday afternoon. We recently had a visit from Alvilda and
+her friend Axel, but it has been a while since I've been with Asbjørn, so I was
+particularly happy to catch up with him before we met with the others.
+
+My head's been buzzing after the many impressions from the previous weeks, and
+I've been happy to deal with in the practicalities of coming home from a journey
+and with having guests. I've only had a few jobs that I needed to give my attention
+to during the week. I've been shopping food, washing clothes, cooking, baking,
+cleaning, washing dishes, all basically a week of meditation. The last two days
+we've been alone, and we've hardly spoken to each another; we've been in different
+worlds. Jonas has buried himself in our newest project, ShowMeBox, and I'm still
+in the process of collecting my thoughts. We have no acute deadlines, but have
+involved ourselves in several relatively big and complex projects, each of them
+generating more questions than answers at the moment. Next week I have no special
+events on my schedule, and I'm looking forward to dig in.
+
+After MiniDebConf in Barcelona last spring I had a stress reaction, and it took
+me months to recover. This feels nothing like that. I'm just tired, not freaked out.
+A little overwhelmed, but also inspired to act.
+
+I've been pushing my sales tax calculations in front of me all week, so that is
+my most important task today.
