I'm still here

I'm going to be posting this to my many varied internet haunts.
Apologies, therefore, if you're getting a creeping sense of deja vue
having read it elsewhere.

First, the obvious; I'm back. I've been on leave for almost a month (I
only get the bog-standard 5 weeks pa but decided "hey, it's Summer"😉
and have a lot of catching up to do. I've fallen behind on reading my
collection of blogs, forums and newsgroups but am slowly churning my
way back up to the pace.

I've had a fantastic time - 10 days of sea-time sailing around the
South Coast, watched England play shoddily at Lord's (in the flesh),
watched England play brilliantly in the third Test (on TV) and cycled
round London. I even survived being abandoned by my wife and children
who did the Florida thing for two weeks; forcing me to eat and drink
in pubs for 14 nights.

Is it the colour of the tiles that puts you off going into the kitchen?

And, as icing on the cake, the insurers of the
dozy bint who ran me over 20 months ago decided to write me a cheque
of mutually acceptable thickness.

Excellent news. I take it the numbers on the thick cheque were acceptable as
well.
