... I thought it sounded better than 'drugged Monday' and slightly less likely to attract weird comments.  Last post-drug Monday I didn't post and it caused a good deal of anxiety among some of my most loyal and caring readers, so this week I thought I'd better say a quick 'hello.'

Always the danger of the plethoric blogger - do I own it or it me?  As one who refuses to go down the lines of twitter or facebook (I waste too much time on reading blogs already) I guess this is a rod I've made for my own back.  Ironically, just as I link Dave Walker's cartoon blog he gets a bout of blogger's block and has ten days off from posting - it's an occupational hazard.

Anyway, today will be anything but Manic Monday, as I rest after yesterday's great fun but rather tiring morning.  I may begin the mound of Christmas cards I need choose to write to people all over the UK (and some beyond) whose paths have crossed mine and continue to interwine with it to varying degrees.  I like this task - it brings back memories of times shared, good and bad, and reminds me why people I may not have seen in decades remain on my Christmas list.  Inevitably each year there are deletions but there are additions too, all part of the story we write as we wander through life.

So, off to flop a bit and then start the card writing...

Btw, it's a GLORIOUS morning in Glasgow (in joke)
