Happy New Year, everyone. No doubt the old Earth will continue on its path for at least one more year.

Signs of the times: before going out to buy the newspaper this morning I checked that the Guardian was published today - but, when I got to the newsagent, they'd sold out, the nearby supermarket had no newspapers, another five minutes in the opposite direction the newsagent in the hospital was closed and so was the small newsagent nearby! Can't blame them for being closed on New Year's Day, but why do I buy a newspaper any longer with all the news that's on the Web? So, it will be half an hour with the Guardian online today.
