Apologies, but my computer broke down last night and has only just been fixed. I'm busy for the rest of the day, and so I'll reply to these posts tomorrow.

I must leave also and will be back at a point after January 4th.

I hope you will have a wonderful trip, memorable for all the right reasons.

While you are away, I’ll monitor the website for bogus contributions, post any interesting articles I might find in my daily newspaper, and wish everyone a merry Christmas closer to the date. (Even an agnostic can enjoy the festivities!)

These will be my last posts for a few days, as I shall be in London for theatrical reasons, and without access to my computer.

I hope to resume pleasantries on Saturday or Sunday.

My thanks in advance to David for holding the fort.

I will.

Not exactly away, but my daughter and my elder son's widow plus 8-year-old twins will be here for the Easter weekend - and that is a treat which will require time and energy. Resurrection planned for Easter Monday.

Away at home can be very rejuvenating. Enjoy!

I assume no more posts until after Easter.
