I’m probably – probably – not going to update for a week or so.  I know my single-figures readership will not miss me, but I thought I’d explain for the benefit of the me who will probably read this in a few years time, as a sort of diary.

Look, incidentally, at the time of this message.  I’m still at work well into the afternoon (well, I will be when lunch is over).  This is WRONG and UNFAIR.  Stupid work.  I hate working on Christmas Eve, although working on Christmas Day was quite fun, the one time I did it.  But that was before I had a wife, and commitments such as that.  I get the feeling we will be sent home a bit early, but not much.  Gah!

Anyway.  Have a very happy Christmas, and I shall see you when we all re-emerge in the new year.
