OK just to clear one matter up - all our posts used to get published at a time and date we had no control over - i.e. about 5/6 hours behind GMT - some American time I think. This, however, has now been resolved by the wonderful people at Blogger who have now made it possible for you to change your time stamp. Therefore from now on every entry will be done (in theory) at the actual time I post it wherever we are. At the mo we are 9 hours ahead of UK time. So I'm writing this at about 11.30pm yesterday...
