Simpsons fans will recognise the following reference to the opening titles. Each episode starts with Bart writing on the blackboard – a penance for his transgressions…

Now it’s my turn…

I must pay attention to The Bleat
I must pay attention to The Bleat
I must pay attention to The Bleat
I must pay attention to The Bleat
I must pay attention to The Bleat
I must pay attention to The Bleat
I must pay attention to The Bleat
I must pay attention to The Bleat
I must pay attention to The Bleat
I must pay attention to The Bleat

My excuse of course is ‘life’. Currently it’s too full and fast to catch my breath.

That and a bout of the flu which also restricted breathing.

So this being New Financial Year’s Day (a day when every accountant is hung over…) I make this resolution… I will get back to writing The Bleat again this year.

So come back. I’ll post again, with regularity.

(Oh shit I have a deadline looming. Gotta go.)
