But it becomes less likely by the day that you you will need to do that. Covid has been a ''double'' bummer for almanac publishers, because since the working [[mediocritariat]] was ''forbidden'' from printing anything for eighteen months, it has largely now realised it ''doesn’t need to print anything'' and has got out of the habit, so even though we’re back in the office a day every week, no-one uses printers any more, and there are oodles of surplus reams of A4 lying around the office, which make ''perfect'' monitor stands... | But it becomes less likely by the day that you you will need to do that.

I cannot wait for his next novel''”. I don’t know quite what to say!}} | |||
