i'm hanging up my mouse for a while

Well, here we are midway through 2009, and things are turning out to be not quite what I had anticipated (and certainly not what I had planned). And so it's necessary for me to take my leave of you so that I can go and concentrate on other things.

It's been fun, this past two and a half years. I've enjoyed your company and I've made some very good friends. And I'll miss you, for sure. But sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do. I'll say no more than that.

I hope I'll be back - but it may not be for some time. It depends how things pan out. We'll see.

Adieu.

That's a shame David. I'm a bit sad. I know, sign up to Twitter instead.

[James]

Really enjoyed reading your blog!! Come back soon!

[Daniel]

Tis a shame, but a mouse has to do what a mouse has to do. Thanks for all the great reads and best of luck with whatever lies ahead.

[Antonio]

Truly a sad day for the design blogsphere (if that's what it's called). Hope to have you back soon.

I will miss your thoughts but mostly I will miss your "This made me smile" series which always seemed to arrive just when I needed them.

Pas adieu monsieur, au revoir.
Who’s going to drop names like Neil Young?
Now it’s all the room for Wet Wet Wet I’m afraid.

David, I'm going to miss reading your blog in the morning to start the day, it was definitely one of the ones I check most frequently. Come back soon!

[adnewall]

Awww, Will miss your updates.
Take care, and look forward to your return :)

[David Airey]

I'll miss your updates too, David.

I hope the blister heals soon so you can get back into the swing of regular posting.

Until then, all the very best, and if there's ever anything you think I can help with, you have my email.

[Wil Freeborn]

all the best David, will miss your postings

[Mike Reed]

Sorry to see you go, David. Hope the other matters you want to concentrate on are positive rather than negative. And I'm with Richard: get Twittering. It takes less time, and is enormous fun. See you there!

Good luck with everything - hope to catch you again sometime!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I will miss your blog incredibly. But I hope things are OK? Come back re energised.

[Chris]

Good luck David, thanks for all the snippets of advice you've handed me whether you've known it or not! Come back soon.

Sorry to hear this David. I'll miss you. Hope everything is okay, and that it all goes well.

I echo what everyone else has said.

I'll miss you as well
