Absent Friends....

As we begin the countdown to slip out of 2017 and into a new year, and all that might bring, please raise a glass with me to those we have lost:

Captain Ranty (Blog now sadly gone dark)

Unenlightened Commentary

Anna Raccoon

Dracunculus, who lost his fight in the early months of this year.

Bystander, a sad loss to the world of profession-blogging.

Gone, but not forgotten.

Blogs going dark, for whom I fear the worst:

Peter Risdon, who hasn't posted since May or Tweeted since July. I know he was battling liver cancer. Peter, if you're out there, & just fed up with blogging, I wish you all the best.

Thank you for all your own efforts.
It is all much appreciated.
Also thank you for the role call of absent bloggers.
Each more worthy of a knighthood than the slithy to be Cleggers.

I heard on Facebook that Peter Risdon had died.

Oh, damn. I was really, really hoping that wasn't the case... :( Now my honour roll is a little heavier, like my heart.
