A lot of you may have been wondering where I have been over the last two months, well the answer is I have been recovering from a rather serious car crash, and have only just been discharged from hospital.
My recovery will be slow, and more than likely painful (I already hate my physiotherapist with a distain that I have until now, reserved for chavs and town centre alcoholics.) I will get back into my writing groove as soon a possible, and begin to post once again on a regular basis, until then my post may be limited to one or two a day.
I do hope that you will bear with me while I travel the road to recovery.

Yikes! That is really rather nasty. I am scared of cars and the road anyway, and try desperately hard not to accept lifts when offered by my colleagues. I can usually find an excuse to walk instead.
I do hope you recover.
A friend of mine was in an accident and her internal injuries require major invasive surgery, with only moderate prospects of surviving the operation. No having the surgery would mean probable death in months or perhaps a year or so, I gather.
Primitive technology, with no inertial damping and no force-field or similar protection makes this non auto-piloted vehicles very dangerous. I hate them with a passion, and all the idiots who still buy what is essentially nineteenth-century (and older!) technology rather than pressing through market forces for something much, much better. I’ve never owned or driven one, and never will — as a matter of personal principle. I don’t buy garbage…
