I'm back (did you miss me?). The reasons for not blogging yet this week are thusly:
1. My long suffering laptop has displayed some worrying symptoms, or rather the display is a worrying symptom. For the last few days the bottom third of the display has been a flickering series of lines showing a blurry image at a different resolution to the rest of the screen. I have now discovered that I cannot blog with only two thirds of the screen. However, a small G Clamp applied to the left hand side of the screen has cured the problem (although rendered the folding away of the lap top impossible!)

2. I was away at the weekend with a GREAT bunch of friends and had no time for blogging as I was busy walking, cycling, laughing, playing silly games, eating and enjoying the collective humour and stories of friendships that have existed for a quarter of a century. I am at this moment proudly wearing the "Top Gun" sweatshirt they bought me, for organising said shindig, even as I blog.

3. I have been away at Douai Abbey for the last 24 hours on a staff residential. As I am one of the deputy directors of the department and our boss is leaving, I needed to focus. Added to that was the challenge of only being able to blog from upstairs and then only with two thirds of the screen!
But I'm back (I know, you hadn't noticed I'd gone)
Captains Log Supplemental: The lovely people at Dell despatched an operative who performed open case surgery and successfully completed a complete screen transplant!
