The blogging holiday rota - last seen here.
Who let Jon go on holiday without sorting out the blogging rota first?? Mago and Maddie too, for that matter. In fact, where is the rota? Did it get updated? Who's down for today?

Is it me? It's me, isn't it. Drat.
Hang on a mo...

Ahem. We had hazy sunshine all day, but that didn't stop us getting out there to complete a few more tasks in the extensive gardens allotment here at Dolores Delargo Towers in the vicinity of Hexenhäusli Device - mainly weeding and strimming the grass paths. Oh, and making sure Bitey didn't bite the strimmer or dig too deep a hole...
EDIT 06:46 04/05/2026: Meanwhile... The bastard gnomes at Google/Blogger are still playing silly buggers. I published this post at around half past five yesterday. It remains in Limbo, as far as the Blogger Reading List is concerned as it's not showing up on any of your Sideboards.
WTF leads these creatures to think that this sort of delay is acceptable is beyond me! Yet another blogging annoyance... Sigh.
Never mind, eh? Here's something soothing from perennial House faves, Robbie Williams and the Pet Shop Boys singing about another House fave, Our Glorious Leader, to ease our troubled souls...
Ah, that's better...
STOP PRESS:
I don't know when - or even if - you will actually see this, dear reader, what with the Google Blogger feed delays. However, please note that there will be daily posts here until Jon returns (all being well, of course). I hate the Google gnomes.
I am here!!! Curtesy of the 'tick box' system!!! Wow, Blogger really is laggy isn't it? I thought it was a bit quiet. I might stir myself from The Fainting Chaise and write a post... tomorrow!!

Oh, it worked! Hurrah!!
DeleteHa! A very clever cut-and-paste-job...
ReplyDeleteGood to see that the "blog rota" has made its return. I was beginning to suspect that the team may have been slacking (and by "the team", I observe that's just "you" - and a couple from Ms Scarlet).
I look forward to the rest of the mimicry! Jx
Ah, thank you, Jon. I'm glad it's not too offensive...
DeleteAs for the blog rota - it needs updating. It wasn't designed for so many of us to be off at the same time! If it wasn't so much work, I'd re-do it now, but after standing in for you - and some digging in the garden just now - I need to retire to my fainting chaise.
