M-R’s challenge 4

My Swedish blogging friend Katarina has just changed her site – with no little trouble ! – so that it’s now in English. I speak of “KatarinaWohlfart.com”, subtitled ‘Fashion, Environment, Travel and Life’. Wow ! – covers a lot of the blogging spectrum ! But that ain’t all, believe it or not: in her journalism […]

M-R’s challenge 3

Now on to my mate Andrew Hardcastle, whose site http://ajh57.wordpress.com/ is called “All downhill from here”, and its subtitle is ‘Whatever comes to mind……’ Andrew writes really well. AND he takes great photographs. He has an extremely wicked sense of humour: the kind where sometimes you’re not quite sure if he actually meant what he […]

M-R and Windows 8

Well, OK: the video below isn’t me sounding off about Win8 – but it could be, if 1. I had enough tech jargon at my fingertips, and 2. I had the means to create a video. Allow me to refresh your minds: http://wp.me/p3ZISx-xp puts you in the picture regarding my less than totally adoring sentiments […]

I’m challenging myself

I have an idea: I’m going to set up my own personal ‘challenge’. It’s just for me. The ‘challenge’ is to post every day a blog I follow, and why. Each will be a blog that has less than 500 followers; and because it’s my opinion that this is A Ridiculous Fact, I’m hoping that […]
