So, this is among the latest Weekly Hat posts ever, but in my slight defence, I got back from holiday last night and have spent most of today (with a few quite lengthy breaks) writing the damn thing. You’ll be happy to hear that I should be available to do this on time for the next few weeks. Score. And I was also glad to see that the automated postings I set up for last week’s Weekly Hat and Behatted comics actually worked.

Thank you all for being about. Now, as I’m tired and have still more Behatted tasks to do before I can lie down, on with the contents…

• Private eduction buys a photocopier: Apparently education costs money. But it could cost more!
• And then I went to Ireland…: A slightly bloggy holiday-based interlude.
• Media and stuff: New TV! New Aqua! New danger!
• Behatted Photo Of The Week: Amazed I haven’t done this one before, really.
