Now nobody asks me because they know I won’t respond. Even if you enjoy doing memes isn’t it horrible when you have to name x amount of other bloggers, usually five, to do the meme after you? Well, here’s a partial solution:-

put me on your meme list, then you’ll have one less poor sod of a blogger to dump the meme on

I won’t respond, but that’s my problem . . .

this is due mainly to an opportunity that arrived unexpectedly that has taken all my energy - it is a good thing but is not 100% certain just yet

All I need is a clear day to finish editing the excellent contributions - hopefully in the next couple of weeks
