But is it a surprise that, after all that, the Board are too bruised and weary to be "delighted to announce" an expected profit, and that shareholders are too bruised and weary to raise a hearty cheer at the news? We are only human after all.
Still, there's been some heroic stickability going on here. We're very lucky to have had our Chairman all these years, staying the course from the very beginning, never giving up hope. Barry obviously deserves an OBE for the endless slog he must have gone through to get the company to this point. And certainly plenty of others at Blis have obviously done sterling service, both Board and staff. Some loyal staff even faced cost cutting a while ago it appears, which must have been hard indeed. And then there is the motley crew still left here, not so many as there were, but still here, still managing our tired cheers.
Well, let's hope the new CEO can infuse some fresh enthusiasm into us all - and indeed can even understand what we've all been through getting here, and why we are all so very, very weary! Reinflating hope would be welcome.
So, a decent rest and a few stiff drinks, and maybe we will find fresh strength to cheer. Meanwhile, let's see if the market manages any more enthusiasm over the next days, weeks, and months. The news, after all, looks promising. It's been a long march indeed, but arriving at the destination, by the looks of it.
