Happy Birthday!

With the indulgence that writing my own blog allows me, this post is really for one person only:

Happy Birthday Mum!

Now, further to the conversation we just had on the phone, here's how you leave a comment on any of the posts:

1. Click on the 'comments' tag at the end of the posting (it will most likely say '0 comments').
2. On the page that comes up, write your comment in the box provided.
3. When you have finished, select 'Name/URL' from the options under the Choose An Identity heading. The other options are for people who have certain other internet accounts or who simply wish to remain anonymous; you don't need to worry about them.
   
4. Write your name in the 'name' box; you can ignore the 'URL' box.
5. Click on 'Publish Your Comment' and you're done!

So there you go. I shall now expect a plethora of comments over the coming weeks! (That goes for anyone else who is still reading this post, too).

Finally, did you know that December 1st 1887 was the first time that Sherlock Holmes appeared in print, in the story A Study In Scarlet?

Happy Birthday!
