  • Election Publicity

    So the election is upon us and our household and circle of friends are taking it pretty seriously! One thing that always bothers me is the imbalance of publicity.

  • Crazy Folk

    This is a quick note to any of my neighbours that might be reading. 1 Folks, I know that last Saturday I appeared to be repeatedly filling a watering can, trudging up the garden path, and emptying its contents over an already-waterlogged garden…in the pouring rain…wearing a waterproof.

    My current list of extensions - more for personal reference, but worth checking out if you use Google Chrome - and if you don't, why not give it a go?

  • Now analysing

    A short note explaining that I'm now using Google Analytics.
