Happy New Year from South Staffordshire, and welcome to the first blog of 2013.
I went to bed fairly promptly after seeing in the New Year, knowing that I had this blog to write. As it happened, I got a remarkably early start, having been woken at 4 a.m. by flashing blue lights outside as the fire brigade and paramedics attended an incident in a nearby house. Being somewhat short of sleep may account for the fact that I found the top half of the grid held me up for a while, hence the *** marking.
