It has been a couple of months but I am returning to the blogging fray. The intervening period has been devoted to grant-writing, national and internaitonal travel, day to day working type stuff and of course a bout of very unpleasant illness (only a cold but bad enough).
There have been a number of things that have popped up over the period of my absence that i am now in a position to highlight, mention and generally bring up. Hurrah for my loyal readership.
