A great loss and civilising influence on the at times cold world of economics.
Predictably, I'm back blogging again. I can't leave it alone for long ! Had a bit of a hectic and at times confusing first few months of the year and everything went a bit skewiff.

I was pleased to discover your new blog t'other day; keep uyp the good work.
