Just dropping in . . .

Hopefully this blog will be back and up-and-running soon enough. As well as the move, and copious amounts of hard labour, I have been hampered by a temperamental phone connection. (Oh, and my girlfriend is currently on holidays and does not consider blogging to fall legitimately within the ambit of "quality time." Takes all kinds, I suppose.) On the upside, I have been getting an enormous amount of reading done, and I anticipate the next post to contain a review of Richard Dawkins' fantastic God Delusion, and perhaps also Niall Lucy and Steve Mickler's highly entertaining War on Democracy. Watch this space.

Anyway, Merry Xmas, Happy New Year, & c. & c.
