Because it's summer (18)

Servitor's still on holiday, hurrah hurrah.  This is an automated sequence of posts, while he enjoys himself in the fresh air. His SO will be back in a few days to let him back inside the house and then the usual abnormal service will be resumed.

Hmm.  Very appropriate. But servitor's not cooped up in a cage, dear readers, instead being free to wander freely within a  four metre radius of the steel post in his back garden, all summer.
