By the way, don't be shy of the 'follow' button at the bottom of the blog page. It implies that I have no followers. Not true. After I had written four books in this random one day at a time stream-of-consciousness fashion, I shut the blog down for three years while I concentrated on trying to re-establish myself unsuccessfully in the labour market. When I came back to it, the blogspot works seemed to have jammed and although posts are being sent to followers, there is no record of their existence. Similarly, my profile details have become impossible to update, so I have deleted them. But if you find it handy to have the posts delivered to your email inbox, then click 'follow' and you won't have to miss anything ever again. Because I know how much everybody's life needs the sewage of my synapses.
