Regular readers may recall that it is my birthday next week.
I am going away for a few days, to celebrate by visiting friends and relatives. Ollie will be coming too, so don’t worry about him.
As a result, I will not be online very much from Friday 13th until Tuesday the 17th.
Obviously, there will be no new episodes of the fiction serial during that time, or any other posts from me. I will also be unable to comment on your posts, or answer any on mine.
Once I get back on Tuesday, I will do my best to catch up.
But it is unlikely that I will be keeping up with any of your posts, so my apologies in advance.
I like to let you know, in case you think I have died! 🙂
Best wishes to everyone, Pete.
Belated birthday wishes Pete.
