Something Thoughtful

 

                                            NOTHING TO DECLARE

Keen readers of this blog might have noticed that instead of a fortnightly gap between postings, this week’s posting comes after three weeks. The reason is quite simple. My wife and I were over in Australia for a fortnight, celebrating a wedding anniversary, so I had to miss one deadline. I might in future concoct postings that deal with the land of Oz, but in the meantime I have nothing to declare.

PS Only this very morning have I heard the sad news that Vincent O'Sullivan, the greatest of New Zealand's senior literary people, has just died. He was a good friend to me and I will write an appropriate obituary for him in my next posting.
