When I return to NZ this weekend, and have settled back into my usual rut, I\u2019m going to see how much of my back catalogue I can wrest from IT. If there are any newsletters anyone wants to revisit sooner rather than later (or, contrariwise, any that you\u2019d prefer weren\u2019t revisited at all), just let me know – either by comment on here (come on, I know you can do it, I believe in you!), or by email.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll have to figure out how much editing I\u2019ll need to do as well. Not sure if anyone\u2019s impressed by my efforts at discretion by using people\u2019s initial\u2019s rather than full names?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
