Blogging service should soon resume

I hope to find a little more time for blogging in the near future. I've had a succession of things keeping me away from the blog, such as delivering a big lecture (thanks for the plug, BB), finishing a book manuscript, taking a trip to Croatia where I had suboptimal internet access, and various other bits and pieces. Today has been a funny old day. I feel as if I have cotton wool between the ears, but on the other hand I feel as if a series of weights have been lifted from my shoulders. Anyway, a good night's sleep should sort that out. So, I hope to "see" you all soon. Although it will probably be inconsequential posts about plumbers, rather than weighty stuff.
