Or it was just a minor alien abduction

Just so you know, I am not dead. Or anything. It's just that there has been an earthquake, which split my house in three pieces, and my laptop got stuck on the other side of the gaping chasm. So I couldn't type. Or also, it could just be that I have been very busy. Or that I have been caught beneath an avalanche of laundry and had to survive for two weeks on sock lint, and have only just-miraculously- toiled out from under 7 metric tons of onesies. Some of these options are more likely than others. But take your pick. I wiil be back soon with either pictures of my fractured dining room, tales of my harrowing (but 100 per cent cotton) adventure, or stuff more boring than all that. In the meantime, don't worry. Not dead. Ok worry a tiny bit. I like to pretend all 4 of you Peanuts miss me.
