Another quick ping into the blog to make sure no-one thinks I’ve fallen into a well and got my foot trapped under a boulder … It’s Thanksgiving (woo) — normally for me this means nothing more than increased difficulty in getting hold of anyone in the States, as they’re all noshing on 55lb turkeys and…
