apologies

Mad apologies for not posting for a while. I went on vacation, and got back, and went straight back to work. No, seriously: I was working within 8 hours of getting back home. So yesterday I asked myself what was in the backpack that's been sitting in the apartment for a while, and I discovered (with some chagrin) that it's everything I carried on the plane for vacation.
So that's how I found my copy of Britannia at Sea, about which I will post soon.
