Apologies for past and continued and future absences

Dear all,

F-list and public, especially everyone I owe massive replies to (including bohemianbeauty and geelady ), my sincere apologies for what must have, and still seem like a rude and abrupt absence. The situation is that about a fortnight before uni started up again, I had to knuckle down and get revising for back-to-term brain activation.
