Very many apologies for the absence of posts last week. As readers may have noticed from the Spectator Diary in my Articles list, I managed to break my wrist. This necessitated an operation last Wednesday, following which I had to take part in a conference in Boston -- where I still am. I thought I had posted a message last week explaining that there would therefore be no posts for a few days, and I have only just realised that this mysteriously failed to appear. Something to do with the results of anaesthetised one-handedness, maybe.

Anyway, after all this kerfuffle, I hope to resume posting in the next few hours.
