Dear Reader, thanks for all the emails and communications. This month two obstacles. First, despite being pre-programmed the blog posts were not visible to all readers from 20-30 September. No idea why! they are there now: for some of you were there all the time. Second, agonising toothache kept me away from the computer for ten days: apparently my jaw bone was infected…. Pain is such a humbling and interesting experience. Thanks, as always, to the multiple linkers: Amanda, Invisible, Chris S, Joan, Ricardo, Wade and others. I’ve put the very best contributions below to the posts from this month. Thanks for all emails (the cream follow here) and thanks for all good wishes. In the next month posts will include Scooby Doo Crime, a new tag on Crazy Couplings, tooth worms, and historians ‘predicting the past’
All the best and enjoy your cold autumns.
