Apologies to all...

I have never made any secret of the fact that I am disabled, not of the fact that my health is slowly but inexorably deteriorating. I have been unwell for the last few days, and although it is nothing particularly serious, only a coldy thing of some sort, it shows no sign of abating.

So forgive me for not firing on all four cylinders at the moment. I feel lousy and have spent quite a lot of the last few days in bed, and indeed I am going back to bed in a few minutes. If you have written to me over the past few days, forgive me for not having replied yet.

I expect that I shall be back on track in a few days time......
