Welcome, welcome, thrice welcome.

I could start off by moaning about all these people cluttering up our nice blog site which up until now Sylvia and have had to ourselves, but I won't! I'll just say how glad I am to see that both Peter and Graham have come in and posted their first blogs.
It is particularly pleasing to see that Graham, who was never the most enthusiastic supporter of the blog, has started off with an extremely helpful piece of technical advice that is going to benefit all of us. Under that deceptive exterior there beats a heart of gold.

So what's new?
You might like to read a scrap written by Saki in 1912 that I have just come across.

"We all know that Prime Ministers are wedded to the truth. but like other married couples they sometimes live apart."
