Welcome to a curious edition, but an edition none the less. I suppose you could call it a "Strike Edition", or maybe "Letters From Abroad", but I think I will stick with "Notes and News".

Last week I uploaded the newsletter in the waiting room of the Animal Hospital, with nipper, who had a bout of gastric trouble. And we had to go back there again since.
