Bit under the weather
Feeling rather much as if this is pressing down on me, have staggered up to advise why I remain obdurately silent in response to what look like lots of Comments to respond to. I arose at some unspeakable hour to watch the first episode of the new Doctor Who (Peter Capaldi) at the same time […]

That is, if thisworks, I mean only occasionally to utilise this ability, and certainly notnormally to provide a track of this length.

Paula’s Thursday non-challenge comes around again … http://bopaula.wordpress.com/2014/08/...

Stringer and I went to Europe to look for them, after all.:-) (You can see more pictures […]

No funding involved
Don’t panic ! – I’m not sending you to a site where you’ll be expected to cough up.

Goin off-line and returning
There were a couple of things about “Dynamic News” that I wasn’t happy about. Yes, there are with every theme, I agree. And yes, I admit for the umpteenth time that I’m an obsessive, and also that I love to change themes and play about with the CSS. You have nothingto complain about: it keeps […]
Black & White Sunday: Bridge
http://bopaula.wordpress.com/2014/08/... That’s Paula’s own post for her weekend monochrome – somewhat more well-known than mine … This is the bridge over the Aveyron at Belcastel, a beautiful little town in which we spent one night only for the express purpose of eating a HIGHLY recommended meal.
