Explanation and Apology
I had a massive allergic reaction to something in the garden. It's totally isolated to my left eye, but as those of you who know me know, that's my good eye, hence my silence over recently. It's just too hard to read let alone sit at the computer like this. So apologies to all of you to whom I owe email or lj comments. I'll get back to you as soon as this clears up completely.
