YHB is in a particularly foul mood this morning. I would appreciate any Gentle Reader who feels like chiming in with a joke, a bit of good news, or a link to something on the internet that is likely to cheer me up. No cute animals, please; I know where to find those.
I imagine those persons in my household in real life would be even more appreciative, should Your Humble Blogger’s cloud be lifted.

ETA: It looks like the server is as cranky as YHB; please send cheering emails, instead.

Nao tried to post this whilst the server was being attacked by spam-robots from Spain. or Space. Or Spare. Or somewhere.
Thanks,
