Back to reality

A month off is always welcome to get lost on distant shores. During such time I sometimes think of home in general but not in detail.
Meanwhile, having as usual turned the main switch off, the rechargeable batteries in every device slowly pass away.
NiMH batteries are known to self-discharge by some 35-40% in a month if not tended, prompting the coining of a new term: DUR. Dead Upon Return. Only then one realizes how many of those little things we have around the house. Good luck folks!
