Annual rituals

By NL on 01/01/2012. 1 Comment

Happy new year to all who read, comment on or write for Nearly Legal!

This is usually a moment to take stock of the past year and look forward to the next, but I’m feeling far too lazy to do it properly.

There was a glitch that stopped the feed and emails going out. I have no idea where it came from and it took the website equivalent of lying underneath the car wielding a hammer to sort out. It now has been fixed, but I have no idea if the email update will include all the missed posts. And there were quite a few.

Just in case, the posts missing from the … Read the full post
