Hope your arm has fully recovered now! sorry I haven’t been in touch – been snowed under with work and family stuff….delighted to have completed another year of teaching. You got interesting summer plans?

Sorry to read that. As you doubtless already know from your RSS reader and/or Twitter, I “did” my other arm rather more comprehensively than you have done and without the consolation of another party to blame. Because I am also right-handed, it has not handicapped me quite as much, though, and I particularly sympathise given that it was your elbow, a notoriously painful location for injury.

On the other … um … hand, *my* accident had an unpleasant…er…knock-on consequence in the cancellation of a pleasant excursion. Read about my adventures in getting my money back on my website. (I also keep Twitter – I’m known as @ubfid there – updated).

I think that you are absolutely correct about the opportunity costs involved in keeping up via RSS. I’ll still be here when the posts pick up.
