Ever have one of those times where your diary is choc full of events? I just had one. Apologies for not warning you that there would be no point visiting for over a week. I had hoped to visit an internet cafe or two but didn't get the chance.

Anyway I am back from the mammoth road-trip and in the process of sorting my life out. Also in the pipeline are some exciting changes to this site and the way it's hosted. Keep your eyes peeled.

Before I forget, a big thanks to Tim Rattray for his gift and especially to Vince DiMascio for his more than generous helping of presents. Much appreciated.

So, in case you thought I had maybe given up or lost interest, it's good to be back and I look forward to having some time to spend on the much-needed maintenance of this site...
