What! No blog!

Due to what is usually known as "technical difficulties" there is sadly no blog this week.

 The technical difficulties started on the 1st January (Happy New Year everyone!) when I started to cough. This has quickly escalated into full-blown 'flu. Not the man 'flu but the real McCoy where everything aches. It is a full-on lay-'em-low, shivery, fevery, energy draining kind of thing which has had me in bed for four days. Even a short walk up the stairs has me puffing and panting, and so the blog is just beyond me this week. 

Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible...
