As usual when there's a few days' downtime, the evil spirits have taken advantage of my lowered defences and given me the grandfather of all colds. I've been drifting in and out of drug-induced sleep for the last 24 hours, and keep thinking I may wake up on Jan 1st 2016 to find the whole past year was just a butterfly dreaming, that Brexit and Trump and all the horrors were the frenzied imaginings brought on by a succubus. But perhaps the reality from which the butterfly dreams is an intellectual in Pol Pot's Cambodia, or a child in Aleppo, and all our little problems don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world, as a wise man once said.
