Yummy bread
Yesterday afternoon I made a batch of bread dough and put it aside to – hmm ... not sure which is the correct verb to use, here: I suppose 'rise' is better than 'prove', in the context of my most unorthodox loaf. :-) And this-morning at the usual ungodly hour...

Media frenzy
There are few things that can be as infuriating as the Australian media – and the others are probably the media in the rest of the world. Here is a political cartoon that shows not only the editorial opinion of its originating publication, but also that of everyone commenting on...

I had the stitches out of my back, this-morning. It's quite strange not to feel the horrid prickly things when I get into bed. Don't miss 'em but!

facebook? – what's that?!
:-\ Gave up on it. Couldn't work out the need to have both: what to write on facebook and what to write in the blog? – the choice is, when you think about it all, quite easy … With blogging you can choose your platform (i.e., Typepad, Blogger, etc.); you...

The difficulties inherent in s.n. publicity
Bloody social networking is doing it to me again. My brain is so addled by facebook's ‘personal’ vs ‘professional’ pages that I'm having huge problems in managing the latter (the former doesn't interest me in the slightest). I can't seem to get my head around it, basically, in spite of...

Blogging: mostly harmless, sometimes terrific!
A somewhat unkind observation … which is probably why it appeals to me, being the intolerant person I am. I came to this activity late: by the time I started blogging (late in 2012) it had become vastly more complex a thing to launch oneself upon than of yore: and...
