Dear readers
This is by way of a preemptive apology for what is likely to be some tardiness in responding to comments. Let’s just say that I find myself obliged to address some health issues with more vigour and tenacity than hitherto.
Basically, my new routine is to write less, sit at a computer less, get more exercise and consume less alcohol. There is no prize for guessing which of these I find the most onerous.
My aim always is to publish an article every day. This may not be possible while I fix some of the age-worn bits of my body. But I’ll try.

The cause needs you, Peter, so it's good to hear that you are going to prioritise your health. Stress is bad for us all so please don't set unrealistic targets for your writing. A daily article is definitely not necessary. Take good care of yourself and that will benefit your readers too.
I'm 100% with Robert Hughes (below): "But, yr nae good tae us [or yerself] done-in".
