ANNOUNCEMENT


  • Thanks to updating at Blogger, the links to the transcriptions in the posts prior to 1 Aug 2020 are now useless, but I don't have the enthusiasm to re-set them all. 

  • Links after 1 Aug 2020 should be OK.

  • Please see the post of 7 August 2020 for more info on how to download them.

  • At least the links on this page to the posts still work, so far ...


_______________________________________________________________

It's a bit of a fiddle to search for posts using the shortcuts near the bottom of the right-hand column, so I thought it was time to make this special index page, where you can go directly to each blog post (rather than to the arrangement). There are a few articles and loads of transcriptions.

The formatting of the index links changes for later posts, but all should be clear.
