Belated thanks to all readers

Sorry I've not updated recently, but what with being away for Christmas and being intermittently unwell then I've very much had my head below the internet parapet until quite recently.

"I told you that I was ill,"
Said Spike from The Goon Show on his grave
And though I cannot claim to feeling nearly as bad
Still, I think I've been quite brave.

For Christmas Eve I got
Headaches, tickly coughs and snot.
Still, the whole shebang was gone in a day,
Leaving me glad with my lot.

Thank you all so much for reading Exercises in Song 2008, and I hope each of you has the 2009 you're hoping for.
