"Are you dead or alive?"

 
An email popped into my inbox yesterday asking if I was dead or alive.
 
This morning there is a grovelling apology from the same guy saying it was a mistake.  He was drunk. It was intended for a mutual acquaintance.  
Mmmm….

It does highlight a problem at this time of the year though: certain people who always send Christmas cards haven’t sent one this year.
 
I wonder: are they alive or dead? Or have I fallen off their Christmas card list?
 
Either way there is no easy way of finding out.
 
Anyway, rumours of my demise are greatly exaggerated. As for Blipfoto – I am the one with the red nose.
