    FYI and briefly to all subscribers, I’m going to take a break from daily news updates for a couple of weeks while Lynn and I have a proper holiday. I’ll keep writing, but not so much about the news and I’ll look to publish those pieces from June 23. Sometimes, it’s useful to take some time away from the news flow. I appreciate your patience in the meantime. See you again in a couple of weeks with fresh posts, but I do hope to make an appearance or two on the Hoon, wifi permitting.
