So, for reasons, this week I've been having to get up and leave the house around 7.45 every day, not getting back for hours. Thankfully, this is the last such day.
To make matters worse, because of time zones, this happens to be the time of day when one of my favourite people on the site, and indeed in the world, is most active. So because of being out of the house, we've probably had even less contact that we would have usually.
Anyway, end of grumbling.
