While blog-wise I'm in semi-retirement for the time being (test for new prescription tomorrow, new glasses not long after that, I hope, and then who knows...), in the meantime we are fortunate to have been given permission by Manny - he of the comic strips produced for South of the Border some years ago now - to republish some of his South related posts from his own blog.
On his own blog, Manny dabbles in commentary on soccer, literature, poetry (some of which now appears on this blog), the local Greek community, and assorted cultural critic odds and ends.
Think of it as filling in some of the gaps from my 2024 lost weekend (all the relevant posts are from this year), as part of an ongoing archival project, but also as a throwback to an earlier goal of this blog - providing a forum for South people to express themselves outside the limitations of short-form, disposable social media posting. Thanks Manny!

Something to fill in the gaps, something to tide us over

A few notes on comments.
We've had a lot of fun over the years with my freewheeling comments policy, but all good things must come to an end. Therefore I will no longer be approving comments that contain personal abuse of any sort.
Still, if your post doesn't get approved straight away, it's probably because I haven't seen it yet.
As usual, publication of a comment does not mean endorsement of its content.
