Not just a review of the book …
… but of its shy and retiring author ! Christine J. Randall has a lot to answer for. She has written about my book in such a way that it made me spill my coffee because I was laughing so much !! Her review is comparatively brief, inasmuch as part of it is her … ahh … view of the

Forest Man
This is a truly lovely video from “Colossal”: it’s 16 minutes long but I didn’t grudge a second. So if you can find the time, make yourselves a cup of your preferred poison and take a short break to watch “Forest Man”. It will warm the cockles of your hard hearts.:-) Filed under: Newsworthy Tagged: environment, Forest Man, India

Talk about kind …!
My blogging mate up there in the US of A who is doing absolutely brilliantly on a weight adjustment program – self-administered ! – and who teaches as well as running her household, found time some weeks back to review ATLMD.

I missed Ann Christine’s review :-(

Oz politics seen with humour !
No idea who First Dog on the Moon actually is, but his (political) cartoons very seldom fail to make me laugh. In a miserable kind of way.:-\ They say you have to laugh when it all gets too much, don’t they …?! When I’m feeling more than usually pissed off by the unspeakable antics of […]

The story behind my ‘portfolio’ navigation
This is for anyone who has interest in doing something the same – creating a front set of images linking to ToCs of content. A couple of people have already said they would like to change to something along these lines; and the good thingis that unless your existing site has a narrow content section, […]
