Dear readers, comment post writers, authors and looker-inners!
Today, only today, your editorial team is taking a much-needed break.
As you all know – the clocks went forward, robbing us of that hour of sleep so necessary for all of us but especially for us ‘workers at the coalface’, the timely editing of INDEPENDENCE Daily to get it out.
We hope you’ll make do today with the content published yesterday – the comments will be moderated, albeit not as fast as you’d like and deserve.
We will be back tomorrow!
Thank you for your understanding.
Honestly I don’t know how you do it Viv, particularly as I know for sure you are often around at not much after 5 in the morning – and then to be available during the rest of the day and into the evening like today 7.21pm.
You truly knock Mrs Thatcher into a cocked hat!
All I can say is take care not to overdo it, read the signs as on the motorway “take a rest, tiredness can kill” and where would we be then?
You see you haven’t actually taken the day off now.
Aww Roger – unlike the Iron Lady I’m taking many enforced breaks during the day. Yes, I’ve looked after the comments today – but that’s always a pleasure, not work!
As a one time professional photographer and supporter of UKIP Cardiff North, I congratulate you as the editor in chief and your co- presenters on the choice of photographs however, it would be nice to know who actually took the photographs, they deserve a mention if it was solely for your publication, as they are excellent .
Have a good rest Viv. You and your co- authors and we, readers need a holiday from this continuing disaster on our planet, if only for a day!
I only hope that we all come out of this – C.C.P virus free. We will certainly know who not to trust from now on
Check all the small print to make sure it is not from China!
BEST WISHES Peter D. Blake
Hi Peter –
That is entirely due to a software glitch in one of the online catalogues which keep telling me the name of a photographer will be added to the article. In many cars it works perfectly and you can find that at the bottom of the article. In other cases it doesn’t, and so I’m left dangling … I’ll have to see if something can be done about that … sigh … more admin work for me …
Well deserved and thanks for all your hard work. Excellent idea from Julian Flood.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Utterly deserved rest. Sleep well and thanks all for everything you do.
I second that !
Viv and the team, might I second the suggestion that you all make time for a one day break in the week. Six days shalt thou labour… You work a minor miracle each day, and if you put a couple of discussion threads up each Saturday and let those of us who need their daily ID fix get on with it then maybe we’ll generate even more points for discussion.
JF
That is an excellent suggestion, about putting up discussion threads. I’ll put it to my fellow editors.
Thank you for all your hard work. It is hugely appreciated.. Whatever anyone’s personal viewpoint, the chance to hear independent thinking is to be treasured especially at a time when independent thinking is such a rare commodity! Thank you again.
Totally understand Viv. Not surprised you are feeling a bit ‘jaded’. Looking through all the gloom and doom everyday as you do must take its toll on your resilience. Take a very very well earned rest and recharge your batteries. Put your feet up and chill! Best wishes.
Thanks – and since it’s a bit windy and a tad wet outside it’s a nice day for staying indoors and doing other stuff.
Like getting exasperated with the likes of Professor Stephen Lewis of NHS England preaching to us all as if we are naughty school children who don’t know how to behave. I think we’ve all had enough of these jumped up individuals with their ‘holier than thou’ attitude. Its high time for Boris Johnson down to the lowest ‘Little Hitler’ that he has encouraged over the past year to take a permanent back seat and treat the citizens of this country as if they have a smidgen of common sense between them, without being spoken down to every five minutes about what to do and what not to do. And oh yes, Johnson should start to prepare for his Nemesis in the form of a tsunami which is surely looming on the horizon and gathering pace. Apart from that enjoy your day……
Good idea.
Also, how’s Debbie? Apologies if I have missed an update recently.
Michael
You haven’t missed an update – the fact is that Debbie told me the last time I was able to get hold of her that she’d contact me. she’s not done so, so far – so we don’t know.
I don’t want to pester her and make her feel harassed when she needs to concentrate on getting well.
Put your feet up for a thoroughly deserved bit of r’n’r.
Thank goodness the tiger was only sleeping. I feared someone was dead.
Heh. I choose this sleeping tiger because I thought it represented us better than a sleeping kitten …
🙂
The tiger is really Boris Johnson, sleeping on the job……….Although thinking about it, he is no Tiger. More like like a slow worm, that would be a more apt description, but still sleeping on the job.
Nah – the tiger is meant to symbolise us: readers, w writers, editors. We’ll get up tomorrow and start roaring again ..
Colin – not a slow worm – How about a maggot wriggling on the hook?
Would happily turn back the clock to observing the traditional Sunday of rest. We may all benefit from turning off from 24/7 news, politics and current affairs. Have a well earned break Viv
‘Tisn’t just me having a break – the other editors and writers are having one, too – asn well deserved as my rest.
