      • Thanks, Gary, good to be back. A combination of moving into a new house and starting from scratch with the garden and having upset a couple of people with the frankness of my views on some blogging practices has led to a hiatus of sorts, especially on stories. I’ve been concentrating more on poetry recently and on re-entering my episodic relationship with stand-up comedy.

        • House moves do create a few changes in priority, especially in a pandemic. I’m guessing it went relatively smoothly though since you’re here!

          I caught a snippet of the debates, but was late getting to them and figured my input wouldn’t really be warranted. I find it best to actually be in the debate rather than drop in after. I did get where you were coming from though as I’ve seen similar several times over the years.

          I don’t think you’ve upset anyone here though. Certainly not me!

    • Too quick Joshua! This is rather like handing the early baton between us! I’ve read this already (early as opposed to seen it before, which I haven’t obviously!). Added to the list just now. Will comment when time says it’s safe to do so lol

    • I only just wrote ‘Tea’ two or three days ago 😂 I’ll be on this ASAP! Want to get back into the habit of being early with my BB entries. 🙂 Hope you’re all doing well! I think I’m all caught up now (barring yesterday’s messages). Hopefully I’ll stay (mostly) on top of things from now on, but the best laid plans, and all that, haha…
