Just a quick note to explain the absence of posts of late. I have been having some Internet issues. I am pleased to be able to report that normal service will resume on Saturday (Australian time) – for daily posts on history I mean. Looking forward to the return.

Well, normal service didn’t return then – I needed an extended break from Internet activities, which I took. I am however returning now, slowly bringing all of my sites back on.
