(Clarification in case of doubt caused by questionable choice of post title: I have not been abducted, despite my lack of presence on the blog)

Another of my drive-by postings, but as the last hours of 2021 shuffle themselves awkwardly out of sight and 2022 waits eagerly in the wings, just wanted to wish my loyal readership the very best of New Years.

I hope that the coming months bring you good news, time with friends, and a surprising number of pleasant surprises. Look after yourselves and those you care about, and as we continue through this strange period of time, let’s try to keep our eyes on the doughnut, and not on the hole.

All the best to you for 2022!
