Dear regular readers and registered commentators,
Tonight this site was bombarded with spam comments, and it took me some time to get it under control. I have added extra protection and it seems to have done its job, but my concern now is that I have barricaded the gates so securely that maybe legitimate commentators will have difficulty getting through.
So, to celebrate my re-entry into the blogosphere, please drop me a comment saying “Hi!”, and let me know your thoughts on whatever is going on in the Catholic world. That way we will catch up with one another and also I will be able to determine whether my anti-spam plugin is doing its job by keeping out the enemy without deterring “friendly fire” from this site!
You’re probably not as interested as I am in what was happening 150 years ago! http://ttonys-blog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/tuesday-9-september-1862.html
Hi David,
Wish me luck and drop me a prayer, in a week from now I’m off to Italy to walk from Assisi to Rome. This is not the traditional medieval pilgrimage route. It makes the detour via Assisi, however more people are interested in it, and I am following in the footsteps of an American Evangelical minister who has become a keen pilgrimage walker, and who is writing an English language guidebook for the route Florence, Assisi, Rome.
I also hope to join the evening prayers in Rome of the Catholic lay community Sant’Egidio, which seems to exist everywhere in the world except Australia.
One of these days I would like to try the Aussie Camino that you described.
Hi David! I look forward to resuming discussions on your blog.
The things you do to get attention, David! :-)

I received an email today from Catholic Social services victoria inviting me to a pre election breakfast discussion this gnomic week. Within the space of an hour the invite was withdrawn.
Really? I received that invitation to – but not the retraction!
Greetings – good to see you back. I’mstill here, but too flat out to contribute much at present.
I know the feeling, PM!
Hi David,
Glad to have you back blogging again.

Hi David!
Good to hear from you again David. Can we expect to hear more from you?
I certainly hope so, Graham. And welcome to the commentary table – I think this is your first post?
Afraid you people are above my pay grade David. I do enjoy following you though.
All opinions valued on this ‘ere blog, Graham – even if they might get shredded in the to and fro of vigorous critique! Good to hear from you!
Hello! I haven’t really hit the blogosphere for so long and I just popped on by here to see how things were with you and saw your “Say hello” post. So I thought I would do just that. Hope all manner of things are well!
All the better for hearing from you, dear Monica! And for knowing that you are out there somewhere, even if not in the blogosphere!
