It is amazing how quickly one gets used to not having perpetual instant access to the internet and all the worldly aggro it encourages. Very beneficial for the blood pressure. The downside of course is that I now have a stack of emails and other stuff to plough through.<br /><br />So, I just dropped by to wish you and yours a very happy new year. Keep up the good work.<br /><br />Is it my computer or have you changed your format to a new green blogface?
