News of Jane

Hello Everyone;

I'm afraid that the news from Jane is not very good. She is more seriously ill than at first thought, and is likely to be in hospital for several days. She has therefore asked me to warn subscribers to The Competition Grapevine that the magazine is likely to be at best severely delayed, possibly not produced at all, this coming month (i.e. the August edition).

If you know of anyone who is a subscriber but may not have seen this blogpost, would you please inform them of the situation.

I'll keep you posted when there is any significant change....

Mark.

A medical bulletin

This is Mark (Jane's husband) writing. Just wanted to let you know that Jane will not be publishing any blogposts for the time being, since she is in hospital with a severe case of gastritis. We hope that her stay in hospital will be brief, but you know how it is with hospitals....

"Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible", as they say!
