As weeks go the last seven days have been terrible. Viruses have attacked our health and miscreants have attacked our website. Thankfully, eight days later, things are a lot calmer.
I’ve got a lot of email to catch up on and plenty of comments that need approving and replying to. If you’ve sent me an email in the last week and you don’t get a reply in the next couple of days please resend it and I’ll get back to you asap.
Onwards and upwards. Next week has got to be better than last week.

I’ve never been a believer in ‘things can only get better’. In my experience, ‘things can ALWAYS get a damn site worse’. It’s just wishful thinking and relying on hope and a period of time that is free of crisis.
But it’s all random and out of our control, so I find to not tempt fate I just don’t even try to acknowledge ‘bad moments’ if I can. Just ride them out and see what’s round the corner.
How’s that for a Monday afternoon lift me up. :0)
