[Steve Bucknell]

Thanks to all. I didn't mean to become another mystery (though it has its attractions). The toad work has been squatting on my chest for the past year and I've found myself slipping away from my Sphere life. And I'm way behind on my list of Lister things to read and do. In fact I must admit to chasing pheasants and Henry Williamson in my spare time. Very odd.
However I've changed jobs today which has prompted a sort of happy reappraisal of things. The Sphere and its lively readership has always given me great support and inspiration. I hope it continues and that I can contribute again. You give me the push I need to get some real work done and get this depressing toad to move away a little.I will consult my mentor, Richard, and see what I must do!
