Welcome
You're at monsoonwriting.com, the (now deprecated) personal weblog of Gareth Williams. On this site you will find my old posts and photos, although I no longer keep it updated. Please refer to this site for current news about me.
Welcome to 2010. It's now been well over a year since I last wrote anything here. Those of you who I haven't kept in touch with by other means are probably under the impression my life has suddenly become dull and not worth writing about, for which I must apologise profusely. In truth I have still been writing, just on a different site. These days I struggle to keep even one site up-to-date, so two is quite out of the question; this will be my last post on this site. Read on below for a brief catch-up, then please see here for all future updates.
Well, it's official - I have returned to the northern half of the globe. After two years back home underneath the equator, I have traded the southern cross for a sky full of unfamiliar stars once more. I'm happy to report it's the same old world out here, just as I left it; which is to say, mostly water and clouds. At least, that's my only lasting impression of the place from 39,000 feet, for the first 30 hours of long haul flights.
