Keen watchers of the contents page will now no doubt be wondering 'What exactly will minimum effort...?' Will they perhaps be thinking 'Minimum effort will pervade the nation', or maybe 'Minimum effort will kill us all', or even 'Minimum effort will save the day'? Whatever these keen observers may suppose minimum effort will, we will all have to wait to see what this chapter makes of it all until after I come back from my holiday. For, as of this Saturday, I will be holidaying in Prestatyn for a week, and will thus have not a care or half a thought for blogging while I'm there, forgetting what it is to live a life that isn't mine, and charging up my flagging soul to take me through the months ahead.
