It’s past time for the Monday Message Board, but at this time of year it’s difficult to remember what day of the week it is. (Tuesday is easy since it’s one of the days we’re allowed to water the garden before 7am, hence an early start.)

Anyway, please post your thoughts on any topic. As usual, civilised discussion and no coarse language, please.

The blog seems to have been running itself very nicely during my summer slowdown, and with a big and lazy four-day weekend coming up it will have to.

Best wishes to all readers and commenters for Christmas and New Year, summer solstice or whatever other feast and holiday you plan to celebrate.
