Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Sorry everyone, but given how the past few weeks have been, I simply don't have the energy to send Christmas cards this year. If you've already sent us one, we're very grateful, but can't currently reciprocate. xx

It's been a rough couple of years and my brain has decided that it's not happy with things at all. My GP has put me on some meds to help, but the initial side effects are to make the anxiety worse. What fun. :/
Apparently it will get better after a couple of weeks.
