Hellooooooooo everyone.

Okay, a few things.

* A gazillion thanks to our beloved VC for her highly excellent #CanMittMatchThis? post.

* And a gazillion thanks too for all the very lovely emails today about last night’s ’20 Reasons Why We Fight For This Fella‘ post, I’ll get around to replying to you all eventually, I promise - but I’m abysmally behind with my emails, so please forgive me!

* To all those who tried to comment on the blog for the first time the last couple of days - if you’re genuine PBO supporters, thank you. But the house rules stay the same: newcomers’ comments are only put through if they sign in with longstanding Twitter, Facebook or WordPress accounts. Sorry about that, but it’s the only way to keep this a Tea/Firebagger-free zone.

* I’m up in the air tomorrow afternoon - literally. In a very small plane :???: Gulp. I’ll almost be sitting on the pilot’s lap. Poor creature. So, there’ll be a gap in posting, until I hit the ground - gently, hopefully - and then I’ll battle with my broadband-will-probably-be-dodgy-in-this-middle-of-nowhere-location difficulty.

But I’ll get it sorted …. I hope.

Meanwhile, chat away ;-)
