I'm back

What a long lay-off, largely due to the problems I've been having writing. I've been trying to get to grips with the aforementioned half keyboard, and with Dragon Naturally Speaking voice recognition software, but neither is anything like as fast as I used to type two-handed on a regular keyboard, so just keeping up with the day job has become quite a challenge, let alone extra-curricular typing like this. But I've been spurred into action by being linked to from the ISVR outreach page. I intend to complete the diary of my parliament week from the notes I made at the time, but they may be interspersed with other things.
