Oh! Stratospheric Polar Vortex, please say at home, be well, and keep us warm!

Be rested and sleepy once more!

Drumming up support, courage and peach pies.

We are investing time, money and feverish ideas into the future, a future we know nothing about but suspect a lot.

Of course sometimes we cross our fingers, other times when it’s a long way to the next WC we cross our legs. Something like that.

You have won a three week luxury holiday on Mars.

Not the ideal location for keeping fit, and you really have to believe “the journey is the thing”.

You are alone if you wish it so. You are not alone if that’s a bad thing.

Welcome.

The vine and two spoons.

We witness timetables lost in dust and welcome abandon.

We are sawing through the tentacles of disturbance and miscommunication.

But we’re not surprised you haven’t guessed.
