ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH

-DELIVERANCE!  Literally.  DLA forms have turned up!
So, er, panic averted.  Anyone got anything nice to talk about?

A note

I habitually private/delete posts here that I consider too personal/too whingey/too directionless (on a blog like this, the criteria is rather… loose).  So if something you comment on goes missing, it’s not you, it’s me.
I got a few emails with my last into-the-ether post asking if they’d personally pissed me off.  No, and no-one ever [...]
