Blog off

In 1975 or thereabouts I tried to take a ride on Glasgow's sweet little underground railway. Propped up at the station's entrance was a blackboard with "subway off" scrawled upon it in white chalk. This turned out not to be an ancient Strathclyde curse but their gentle way of informing us that the system was closed because of a strike. Those Scots have a fine way with words.

This blog is off for a few days whilst certain essential domestic tasks are undertaken. These are likely to require the temporary loss of broadband service. It, and thereafter this blog, should be back on Thursday or Friday. In the meantime why not try one or more of the many high quality services featured in the 'Blogs I Read' section?
