Yes I can see yo...Roderick, do not delete yourself! Yes I can see you better here because the commenting system at my Other (main) home is currently so infuriatingly convoluted. The only reason I put it there is because the old, easy system ceased operating last year and since I publish Blaug from my own website, I can't use any of the automatic commenting services. Too boring to explain the techy reasons why but I'm trying to fix it. I have become/am a geek.<br />You see, your prolixity (?) encourages imitation and is appreciated - plus I haven't heard "Gee, Nat" since my American schooldays and it's kinda heartwarming.<br />How lucky you are to almost see the Wye from your windows! I wish I had that almost-view from mine. Hay-on-Wye is great - I have a story about that (not the Festival) but too long to add here.

Gee, Nat, you appear to have surrounded yourself with blogging's outer complexities and I don't have the foggiest idea why. Because they're there, I guess - slightly modifying poor old Mallory whose bones, swathed in a tweed jacket, were found on Everest only a handful of years ago, long after he disappeared into the mist and from life as we know it.<br /><br />Not that I've anything to say as must have become evident. Except to discover that you spent some time (modestly, a tiny spot in an ocean of green) on the banks of the... oh, no! I first read that as Wye and the misreading was amplified by the fact that Hay (the town of books) is on the Wye. If I look out of my study windows I can see a line of trees, five hundred metres away, that indicates the banks of that magnificent river (the Wye, alas, not the Hay). And there I was, trying to extend the hand of geographic commonality, and I failed at my first try. To delete, or not? Never mind, think of this as a footprint.
