A very long hiatus
Even though I know my readers are few, I feel I have let you down these last six months buy not posting anything at all on this “blog”. Reasons: mainly, a problem with the website which meant I couldn’t update it, and I thought that applied to the blog as well. It may not have done and so the world is forever deprived of what I would have posted – too late to catch up now; and as a subsidiary reason, I have been a little busy. However, it should now be possible to share gems with you all, though whether paste or the real thing will, as ever, be debatable.
