A happy new year to the small (and probably dwindling) band that are the readers of this blog. I hope you have a successful and prosperous 2013.

I had a very busy period of work and then Christmas hit — so I failed to post anything here in December. Which means there are one or two things to catch up on as well as the usual task of looking back and then forward that this time of year encourages. So I am planning to write a number of posts over the next week or so and so breathe a bit of life into ‘Strange Thoughts’.

I invite you to join me.
