OK, I give in. If someone leaves a comment here, will you please write something else? If only to tell me to get lost.
I used to quite like this song. I'm old enough to remember it from all those years ago. You're not, I'd have thought. We even had a Swedish sound-alike to Melanie.
What's it got to do with CAP, though?
Oh, and Merry Christmas to the elves.
I've been wondering if Dec posted this as some kind of message to us. I hope not... the song has kind of a sad message in it.
Dec, it has been awhile since you have posted on the blog. Hope all is well with you and your family. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Also... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to bookwitch and all the other readers of this blog.

I suspect Dec's scarpered. Or maybe he's just busy building toys for Princess L, which would be the right thing to do.
Oh, I can't leave p. Sangeetha with the last word, especially since I suspect he/she is, uh, not actually a human being. And might lead you astray.
I do understand that the blog may be too much, but thought I would post somewhere that I have been thinking over the last week or so how much I miss seeing it. That's not necessarily a reason for you to resume it, but you should at least know that your presence is missed .
We all call in now and then. No pressure, however.
