          Is this a record? 33 minutes to solve it? I hadn't even done the washing up!

            Ahem, actually 6 minutes (assuming it is correct) but I was hoping not to be. I always struggle with the Is.

            Cloughie, are you there......???

                      All correct, Flay. I suggest you move on.

                      Apologies for delay - strange thing about AA, be in and around and nobody wants to know - go out and impatience sets in!

                            It is a creative Flay, and a poetical...

                            Last summer, cloughie, AA went very quiet around now - people away, at Proms etc... In fact I just found the gap - page 802 it went totally quiet from July until I posted a little reviver on 12 September which let to a slow recovery. So longueurs I suspect are to be anticipated...
                            "...the isle is full of noises,
                            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
