Latest newsletter:
7th February 2026
This week I have had a lot of fun writing the newsletter and it is almost finished well on time, at the moment it is 5 p.m. on Friday night and I only have the titling to accomplish. I have even done the card codes and the extractions from the reference books.

Card of the day

Every night, at about midnight, for almost seven years, I have popped in and displayed the front of a different card - and added its back at 8 pm the next night. And every Friday (apart from after certain concerts...) there has been a brand new newsletter. Doing of those things has been enormous fun, as much fun for me as hopefully for you. And I want to thank everyone who has sent cards and ideas to help me along, or sometimes to save me from blankness. However at the moment I regret to say that I have some family, and personal problems which may result in those things failing to appear. The breaks will only be temporary, and they may not even need to occur at all, but they may, and I may not be able to warn you. But once everything is sorted out normal service will resume. . .
